Former Index CEO Masami Ochiai and former president Yoshimi Ochiai have both been arrested for fraud, Japanese outlet Nikkei is reporting. The two have both been charged with falsifying financial records and inflating profits during their time with the company.

When it was suspected of improper accounting last year, Index eventually filed for bankruptcy and was sold to SEGA Sammy.

Masami Ochiai is pleading his innocence for the time being, stating that he “did not do anything illegal” when asked about Nikkei’s coverage of the situation.

You can find more information over at Siliconera.

Update: Here’s a few more weird/confusing tweets!

Under normal circumstances, the tweet above would seem harmless. But we’ve all heard about how Nintendo plans to show off the next Zelda game for Wii U at E3 next month.

Could Zelda Williams be tied into that somehow? Obviously speculation on my part, but we all know how important the Zelda franchise is to Zelda Williams. Her name comes from the series, after all!
