From the information gathered, Yusuke Yamazaki is the former president of Nishiyama Farm, a tourism livestock management company in Akaiwa City, Okayama Prefecture.

They deceived people from cash under the guise of deposits and five other members were arrested and tried. Two of them were punished and the rest were tried. Yamazaki is the only one left and he is the head of the fraud group.
