they are haters.

Yeah it’s not like the multi billion dollar mlb would ever do anything. This case is moving way faster than it should. That’s a big red flag. Jordan was “ retired “ for years because the nba didn’t want to Pete rose their top star that’s why Jordan played baseball and was terrible at it

Their team missed out on Ohtani so that was their only way to get revenge.

19000 bets and not 1 message between Ohtani and Mizuhara about any betting at all IRS went through 4 years of text When those 19000 bets were made No how did we do on such and such a game etc Tons of messages between Mizuhara and 3 bookies

@@davidhowell1415they were working on the case even before the connection with Ohtani was made public, who was the one to make it public? The Feds. There are no benefit for them to cover up Ohtani. One thing about the Feds, unless a politician are on the right side of a political party, they will get you if you commit bank fraud. They don’t play around with financial crimes

Opioid addicts have done similar things. Ippei would probably benefit from counseling and treatment, just as drug addicts would.

The case is going way to fast to be honest

And his best friend😂

@@davidhowell1415 Ohtani gave the authorities his phone and it is just over 1 bank account. Maybe you’re too slow…

I wonder if that $16 million is in Tax Heaven...and this whole thing is a cover up 🤔

​@Somehow-Guilty69 ah yes, somehow this is americas fault 😂

We should kick Ohtani out of baseball for being stupid enough to lose $16 million a day for being stupid enough to join the Dodgers.

Mizuhara is an evil conman.

Such a leech

それを知った時の彼の心境はどんなだっただろうな　まあいずれバレたんだろうけど、1000億も全額盗まれてたらぞっとするよな　 24億ですらパンピーからしたら信じられないくらいにでかいんだけど、後払いのおかげでそれだけで済んだのは、不幸中の幸いだわ

Exactly

If you read and follow Shohei’s humble career, you would’ve never gone on that roller coaster ride voluntarily. We loyal fans watch the herd go for the ride.

@@mkate1947 many asian fans didn't even doubt his innocence, but many south american accused him as a gambler. Maybe cuz his good personality was well known in asia.

Birds of a feather flock together 😎

All you had to do was think and put the puzzle pieces that we had together to know who the liar was in this situation. I mean, it was not that hard to figure out.

Japanese who kowtow to Americans learn what they really think about you

That's more Ohtani's fault than the bank's. Ohtani gave Ippei unlimited access to that account.

No, Ohtani didn’t.

Ohtani never gave ippei access. Read the report again

⁠​⁠​⁠@@boomshakalaka8567Ohtani didn't give Ippei access. Read report.

@@boomshakalaka8567 can’t you understand FBI’s statement? Ippei called the bank and said “I am Ohtani. I want to change the number” Ohtani didn’t give any permission to him. Don’t ever do such a stupid comment.

it’s still nothing for ohtani tho lol

Sports betting and yes bull rush is very addictive lol. I'm so glad I've never been degenerate enough to horrow friend's money to gamble. But after hearing all this, I'm done for good.

Haha, yeah the Buffalo slots are fun, so are the Wheel of Fortune ones.

You're with the minority there

Same here. Maybe a year I'd do it but not a decade. And some think Ippei is just the fall guy.

意訳が多かったね。その方が馴染みやすかったかもしれないけど、水原風大谷であって大谷そのものを反映してたとは言い難いよね。ロバーツが彼がいなくなって直接話せるようになったことがよかったと言ってるのは、通訳を通してつくられたキャラクターではなく直接大谷に触れることができるようになったからだろうね。監督だけじゃなくて多くの人がそれに触れられるようになった時に、もっとこの問題の誤解が解けるのかもしれない。

People are just cynical, they can't possibly believe a person like Ohtani exists and so they project all their insecurities on to his character. Example being "oh I would've noticed THAT much money coming from MY accounts" or "He's just looking for the thrill of gambling" when it's proven time and time again, hardly anything is in Shoheis mind but baseball.

He was lol

This happens to a lot of top athletes that are talked about a lot. For example, a lot of people hate Patrick Mahomes because he's really good and wins a lot. That was also the case with Tom Brady. Because Ohtani is talked about like he's the greatest at times. People want him to fall on his ass so they can say "Ha! told you so".

It’s an IRS investigation/criminal complaint you can find a link in the ESPN website And If your conspiracy theory was true…. Ohtani was the most disciplined addicted gambler ever Never once contacting the 3 bookies from his own phone Not even going on bookie websites for a look see on his own phone Not even to check odds or even see what games are up 9600 text messages on his phone with Mizuhara over a 4 year period Never once talking about the 19000 bets he made through Mizuhara over a 26 month period To me if you are going to be that thorough Why the heck would you bet through a person who is seen as your side kick that would directly lead back to you???? why would the losses from bets be paid out of Ohtani’s account but winnings from bets be transferred to Mizuhara account??? If you are that thorough… you would funnel all transactions into Mizuhara’s account Or better yet Not that hard to open up numbered account off in some tax haven country When you have money people always find you to flog their tax schemes legit or not I guess these folks who don’t have money don’t get people approaching them with these schemes

@@yo2trader539 But a Japanese citizens here on a green card. Once he's convicted whatever the prison sentence maybe, that felony is going to get him booted out of the country.

それは貴方が白人主義者で黄色人種は悪でないといけないと言う妄想ですね。

Yeah sure, 😂

1. He handed over his passport. 2. Japan has an extradition treaty with the United States. 3. He showed up to court today. Any other fairy tales you want to get out of your system?

u r stupid

He will not be treated well back in Japan since he is considered a thief. Japan in general does not tolerate such people. And like the other commenter said he is not a flight risk. I would see him more as a suicide risk than anything.

It’s very difficult to hide in Japan where everyone loves Ohtani.

wtf u mean "agree to take the fall" ? You still saying Ippei is the fall guy LOL you are sooo funny

It really amazes me to know you actually believe that you are way smarter than the law enforcement investigators who filed the criminal complaint.

@@user-ig7nu5qn7k Intelligence has nothing to do with it. Critical thinking, perhaps. Why the initial claim that it was a loan? Why did the amount jump from $5M to $16M? How does $16M cover $40M in losses? What 'bookie' covers $24M owed? How are the transactions of $300M in 26 months not flagged by the bank? How do accountants not ask anything about this crazy amount of inflows and outflows when filing tax returns? Why does a guy accused of this crime get sent to rehab (lol)? Where does a guy that stole $16M and owes $24M, get money for bail and rehab? How did the story change and then go away until the court appearance? Just sayin'.

Yeah sure.😂 Yet 0 evidence

Believe what you want but there is only the 1 truth.

Do all of us a favor and go read the 37 pages before you draw conclusions. Jeez, people like you are the reason why flat earthers exist.

Shohei can't understand English do you even understand that his everything goes through Ippei, he probably told Shohei everything is fine and told everyone else Shohei approved of it so they won't alarm Shohei. This is so stupid on a molecular level that a simple understanding that Shohei can't speak English can't go through your mushy brains

Either you’re incompetent or you’re incompetent

This is ONE of his many accounts which was opened in spring training in his first year arriving in US 2018, to register for salary account with the Angels. Since opening, Shohei never used the account nor withdrew money from it as he subsequently was made several other accounts with assistance of the Agency, that he was using actively. Basically, this first account was just accumulating salary deposits monthly from the Angels, bonuses and few off field work, but was basically “dormant” for Shohei as an active account. So not having notifications also dosent seem strange as he simply just had that account parked there

@@-.TS.- is this your burner account Shohei ?

That is very racist.
