Another interesting thing to think about, is supposedly anytime a huge transaction out of an account that big it gets flagged by the IRS

So.

-His bank never called him or his camp about it
-The federal government is investigating his translator and no one in Ohtani’s camp got a heads
-a bookie is giving out 4.5 million to a guy making 300k without Ohtani knowing about it somehow
-translator has a gambling problem but somehow is a mastermind criminal and scammed his friend out of money
-Ohtani is surrounded by a team, much like Russell Wilson. So it seems weird of the excuse is the guy is the only one to have access to his money

Dude already confessed on ESPN and just said Ohtani paid off the debts not gambled. It seems like that excuse should’ve been enough. Sure paying a bookie is federally illegal but he could have played the victim where his real crime was being a great guy. The way I keep hearing is basically Ohtani could’ve paid a fine to the government but now throwing his friend under the bus IMO just makes him look bad.
I don't see him throwing him under the bus. More like covering his own ass. He has $700M reasons to do so.

Other note I saw that was funny is that if the interpreter did steal the money (or says he did), he will actually owe taxes on the $4.5M he stole per the IRS agent.

Shohei Ohtani:

“I’m very saddened and shocked that someone who I trusted has done this.”

“Ippei has been stealing money from my account and has told lies.”

“Up until a couple days ago, I didn’t know this was happening.”
That's crap! I'm sure he has a financial advisor that tracks where the money goes.

What a terrible look!

You could not have been more wrong on this.

Wow...

Seems like you were mad he didn't sign with Seattle and decided ohtani was a compulsive gambler who better on baseball games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers interpreter for Shohei Ohtani was fired Wednesday afternoon after questions surrounding at least $4.5 million in wire transfers sent from Ohtani's bank account to a bookmaking operation set off a series of events.


I was surprised when reading this, but then saw some comments online saying what if the interpreter wasn't to blame and that Ohtani may have a gambling problem? Interesting in sad. I guess the basis for this is people ask how can a guy so good at his sport and who controls everything around him not know he has millions going out? This should be interesting.You know MLB will do everything they can to make sure it goes in their favor. He is after all their Billion Dollar Baby.

LMAO! And OJ was innocent. And believe me, I had no desire for him on the Mariners nor did I have any expectations they would even talk to him. Nothing has changed, but thanks for doing in.

Who said he bet on baseball? Without a shadow of a doubt Ohtani was involved. His interrupter is going to take the fall for it. Dude plead guilty, so you know he is taking the fall.

Sodo .mojo
I.dont see Hancock as bull.pen .guy ..more of a .

Ground,.ball..pitcher....but ..
Kerby..has not been himself..
Either .....yet ,.

So I'm not making any judgements .,.till..the coaches ..get a chance to..
Work....only .really....
Them.. And ..Jedi..
Can make ..a call..like.that,.

Gilbert had. A 450..era .as a rookie...and no one was sending him down.....

But if the mariners do....then..they do.....,
I still .believe .in Hancock...even.if he is not.
Throwing.the best..at this time..
He can work that out at Tacoma...

Never the less. .

Woo .
Hancock ..
Voth...
And
Thornton..
Are the options....so there it is .

When Pete Rose and ohtani are mentioned in the same sentence...isn't it implied?

Why would the federal government charge the interpreter if he is simply lying and covering for ohtani? Think about that?

How is the interpreter taking the fall? Is the DOJ making up charged now?
