Some trolls are now accusing Ohtani was in on it, he does'nt need money to gamble, he makes a hundred million dollars in endorsements alone. But when a player is as great as Ohtani is they'll be haters, we saw that with the great Micheal Jordan, tried to link him with gambling and trolls coming on knocking him.

It's not about money, it's about the action, the rush!

@@him4882I don’t think that we have enough evidence to come to a conclusion yet. Yes, things are suspicious, but it’s still really new and I don’t believe we have a clear answer. I genuinely hope Ohtani is innocent or that he didn’t do any of this out of malevolent intent.

@@CHUCKALUCKALUCKAI’m all for allowing journalists to talk but to be fair she was pretty bad.

Totally makes sense to me.

Like Chris Carter said, everyone needs a fall guy. He paid the bookie off through a third party in which the feds were watching. That is the only reason why anyone noticed it.

I don't buy it but I also don't discount it either

so sad

His fault.

Best player in the sport potentially rigging games plus hes japanese so there international interest

@edotball yea that's fine, but like I said they barely covered him when's he's playing, the greatest player since babe Ruth potentially

But tbf, we need the 100th story about the Cowboys... what with all their recent SB success.

According to a Japanese TV program, Mr. Mizuhara was not only acting as an interpreter but also handling various tasks, such as contracts, sponsor selection in meticulous detail, almost like a secretary, to ensure Mr. Ohtani could focus solely on baseball. Handling funds up to 1 billion yen. It is believed that they took advantage of such a position. Gambling addiction is frightening.

I hope Mr. Otani does not distrust people. Mizuhara is a gambler to the core and even attended dealer training school after graduating from college. Even after failing to become a dealer, he continued to play betting poker. It was there that he met Mr. Boyer. It seems that Mr. Otani's personal belongings were sometimes lost.

Ohtani knew

Ippei used to change the nuance of Ohtani maliciously. It happened by the time Ohtani was interviewed at WBC about his impression of the Korean team. I've had a gut feeling that he is kinda nasty since then.

@@quantrellh.4939I “interpret” this statement as, ruining Ohtani’s reputation because he is associated to a gambling scandal. Not that he stole any money. Essentially, was the interpreter betting on Ohtani’s behalf?

@@sonnyyang5167 I maybe read his comment wrong. Sounds like he was saying he's trying to ruin the interpreter's life. Lol

😅The trolls are having a field day saying we got him now, even without any facts let's accuse him and take him down. There's one thing I learned from followering sports for over 40 years is, there'll be haters knocking great player's like Ohtani of his success, we saw that with Micheal Jordan and Tom Brady, the trolls coming on and knocking them of anything.

I agree with you. The whole betting thing has taken over espn and the sports themselves. Gambling used to be restriced to LV, then it came to Jersey and offshore everywhere. It's really BAD

Don't complain now

Ohtani was raised in Japan. Gambling is not a cultural thing whereas Ippei grew up on America which is a cultural thing to bet on sports. Why would Ohtani bet on sports he doesn't know about or bet on baseball which is common sense to not bet on when you are a baseball MLB player? Occam's razor.

​@@sixtynine2856you're stupid if you think Ohtani wasn't the one gambling 😅

Casual

The thing is Ohtani is to nice, first he deferred money just to make only $2 million dollars for the better of the team, and now lending his buddy Ippei money to help his dept. And Shohei get's the blame for both of that generosity.

@@trevorcarey3997 ohtani will still get the rest of his 700 million dollar contract but on the back end of the deal lol

​@@kmoney362when it's worth a lot less than it is now.

Looks like Shoei got caught gambling 😂😂

@@kmoney362 The actual real value of the deal is somewhere around $450-500 million because the value of the money will decrease over time.

and this 'isn't some guy' who doesn't know where every cent he ever made goes.

He did that to avoid taxes. The California State Controller even looked into the contract. This player still "doesn't know" what kind of elbow surgery he had..it's called a public image. And this player is very wrapped up in it..

What about if he had a gambling addiction and wanted to limit it😅

You know he makes about 65 million a year in endorsements right?

Nah man.. if you really have a gambling problem, you’re more likely afraid of what you’ll do with that much money and not want to mess it all up.. so it’s more like, “defer the money, let me get married, clean up my habits and get new priorities in the meantime”.. Not saying he was involved.. but it doesn’t sound great.. and even if he was involved, so what? Let him take the lesson and grow from it.. the MLB isn’t gonna sink their cash cow.. so he’s earned some leeway..

Morse code 😂

The interpreter absolutely could have done this. However, it is equally as silly to assume that Ohtani would not have gambled himself, just because it does not "fit his personality". I love the player Ohtani is but know next to nothing about the human being - and that is fair. It is totally fair for him to keep as much private as he can. But if so, no one can justifiably say that Ohtani would not be capable of gambling himself. Just throwing it out there: Who says Ohtani did not gamble himself and now his camp is trying everything to make sure, his interpreter is taking the fall for it?

@@KevinWieschhues The only thing pointing to Ohtani is that he had to sanction a large amount of money over. Everything else points to the interpreter. The bookie has no reason to lie about Ohtani. The gambling was also done on college football, which is something Americans enjoy only (interpreter grew up in California). The money is listed as a loan, when Ohtani could simply pay straight up. The money is listed under Ohtani, when if he was really using the interpreter as the middle man, it should be under the name of someone other than himself. So the question remains, how does an interpreter gain access to that kind of money? The answer is obvious to me. 1. The interpreter is still Japanese, where shame can allow himself to explain to Ohtani that he should sign over something, but he can't have any other Ohtani advisors know about it because it will bring shame on him, the interpreter. 2. The interpreter is obviously not just an interpreter. Anybody following Ohtani knows that this guy is his best friend. And 3. the obvious bit is that he is an interpreter. Why would Ohtani know technical English (English gambling, finance terminology) that would make him suspicious of his interpreter? He has to rely on his interpreter for transactions so knowledge of navigating the online banking system or just banking system in general has to go through the interpreter. A close friend can easily ask Ohtani for his signature, have access to his account info, not disclose legal ramifications, lie about the amount of debt owned, or the fact that it was gambling debt, and so on... It would be more hard to believe if this was taking place in Japan.

@@solenstyleohtani has been here since 2016. I’m sure he would realize enough English by now to understand if he’s getting pinched for 4.5 under regular terms. He still understands the ideology behind it. Not saying he’s involved but strip away the persona of a star MLB player , it doesn’t look good.

@@trevorcarey3997biggest mlb player in the world making payments to sports bookies?

Shohei 100% knew. He placed his bets through his interpreter. Now that they got caught, the interpreter is the fall guy.

@@trevorcarey3997 the crime is that sports gambling is illegal in California. So all these wire transfers that Ohtani made were illegal!

Yeah... That's why only Americans can use the internet...

He was trained in baseball not attend school to learn a western language. Seriously try learning Japanese.

You aware that he get paid 700 million and you are not? Does speak fluent English make you better than him?

Exactly, I just echoed those thoughts..

Yeah these rules don't apply to people with that type of money if shohei gave him acces he could easily deviate money hiding differences expenses. Sure when you get a normal salary you would réalise this much money going missing but In their world it could be plausible. Don't get me wrong it could also be very possible that the translator is just the fall guy. Ohtani might just be the Asian MJ

How will Shohie shun the Translater then? That’s my next question. If I’m Ippie I wouldn’t go back to California if I knew I was being investigated since gamblings illegal in California. If I was Ippie I’d go directly to Japan and avoid all this.

Something like that would rock that sport. They’d have no choice but to permanently ban him exactly 2 games into a guaranteed $700 million dollar contract

@trevorcarey3997 .. I don’t think it’s just trolls.. I just think it looks very fishy.. and sounds like the story isn’t straight.. Maybe Ohtani didn’t have anything to do with it.. maybe he was taken advantage of.. maybe he’s being the best friend in the history of friends.. or maybe he got caught up in gambling and his interpreter is the fall guy.. only 2 of those scenarios are believable imho.. And here’s the thing, even if he did it, I personally don’t care.. keep him in the league and let him ball out.. just take good care of the fall guy lol.. I don’t judge people for getting into some wild stuff or finding a vice or 2.. have your fun.. But just like Jordan, Ohtani is too big to fail at this point.. if you shut him out of baseball, the whole sport takes a hit that it can’t afford to take.. so he’ll be fine.. just clean up your act and/or find a better team of people to surround yourself with..
