I feel like this part of the memoirs was Sato getting to a crime that he knew there was probably actual incontrovertible proof of his involvement somewhere out there (if not something that had already come to light), so he knew it was just bite him in the ass if he fully claimed to be innocent so instead he figured he could cover his ass by presenting it as "Okay so this DID happen because everyone was doing it, but I was barely involved and I was kinda opposed to it the whole time"

Money's on sale so you can buy more money for less money; with that you can buy a car that costs more money for less money, then later you can sell it for more money to people who bought their money for even less money (who will sell it for more money).
