  • Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter is in federal custody after turning himself in to authorities Friday morning, one day after being charged with bank fraud for allegedly stealing more than $16 million from the Dodger slugger's bank account to cover what prosecutors said was the interpreter's "insatiable appetite" for illegal sports betting.
    Ippei Mizuhara, 39, was led into a federal courtroom in downtown Los Angeles Friday afternoon, wearing a suit but shackled at the ankles. U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero agreed in court to allow the shackles to be removed.

    Audero approved Mizuhara's release on an unsecured $25,000 appearance bond, and scheduled arraignment for May 9. Audero noted that Mizuhara has no prior criminal record and has ties to the area. READ MORE: abc7.com/ippei-mizuhara-ex-in...

    Ippei not only stole the money Shohei earned through his hard work at the Angels, but he also broke Shohei's heart and destroyed his reputation, which is a serious crime.

    Who were those social media reporters and announcers and anti-Ohtani that tried to make Ohtani a guity person? They need to realize that they committed a dafamation crime.

    I never doubted Shohei watching him from his high school days.
    I wonder the people who said Ippei was covering for Shohei is thinking now.
    It was ridiculous. Sho would never have asked anyone to cover for him.

    Oh my god... Ohtani is too trusting, too straight, which makes him vulneable to manipulators and abusers. The fact that his genuine trust is abused this way makes the betrayal of Mizuhara so horrible.

      Yes I have debated with people who have argued this is Japanese culture
      Where we already know for a fact Ohtani gave his 2 million dollars a year salary to his mom in Japan where he was given a 1000 a month allowance where he apparently did not spend all that allowance
      The guy needs to grow up he is 30 going on 16 expecting others to take care of things for him.
      So with his new wife... I wouldn't be shocked if I the future she runs off with half his money and the pool boy.
      As much as we thought it was weird Mizuhara was playing personal trainer at the ball park for Ohtani
      It's weird we never seen this wife at the ball park or in his life

    Shoelace Ohtani is in too. He was giving away cars to his teammates' wives like candy. Probably he was giving his interpreter the scams in Japanese and the interpreter translated them to English. Something is fishy. It's all a sushi-mess.

    25k bail lol yet he's got millions crook. The math doesn't add up, if he won million I'm sure he has money in off shore accounts. This guy was a master manipulator, so I'm sure he's got all this figured out. He's going to disappear while on bail lol trust me he's got a plan. He's got no criminal record because he was good at changing his name and his record. What a bad call on the judge.

    Seems like a criminal record to me
