I am not a psychologist but Shohei doesn't look like lying. I buy what he said here.
I want to believe him, he did sound truthful. I just can't comprehend the logistics of the payments being made without his participation.
The human lie detector. The Supreme Court needs you.
@@willpinaMy oldest brother didn't know his manager was siphoning money from his restaurant for 3 years. She (the manager) had access to his smaller business accounts because she was in charged some day-to-day expenses (for Sysco, petty funds, producers, and change handling). Ohtani's situation of being an immigrant where his English is very rudimentary makes him even more vulnerable.
@@BootsandUtes That's what I think too, but that would be a case of embezzlement if Ippei had legal access to an account. Either way, it's something that needs to come out in order to clear Ohtani 100%
@@willpinaYep, for sure

In japan where crime rate used to be very low, especially in such places where Shohei grew up, or in the traditinal household, we trust each other completely, so Shohei wanted just to focus oh his job with Ippei, thus leaving him access to Shoheis accout. In Japan, its not unusual. But he will be careful to protect his life from now on.
I think Shohei has pro supporting team, considering varies on his activities. Unfortunate event he experienced is commonly happen. Ippei as insider used his (Shohei) trust and role as 'liason' to manipulate things for "his benefit". Ippei might has his own background, but his deed can't be justified.
For those that keep asking how do you not notice millions missing...let me tell you how. Ohtani doesn't have just one bank account at the local credit union. He has multiple personal and business accounts at several international financial institutions.
He has many endorsements that pay him in installments. There's a lot of money moving around all the time.
If you -- a regular person -- have $500 spread out over multiple bank accounts, would you notice right away if $5 go missing? Probably not.
If large corporations and government agencies with hundreds of lawyers and accountants get swindled for millions all the time, how hard would it be to steal from a guy who (a) doesn't care about money, (b) sleeps 13 hours a day, and (c) only thinks about baseball?
Not very difficult. Ippei would have probably been able to keep this up for years if he hadn't gambled with the wrong bookie.
This actually makes more sense now. Coming from a family of immigrants myself, I know how common it is for immigrants who don't understand english to have some coordinator be a middle-man and give that person access to almost everything, including bank information. I'm sure it's especially difficult for someone with so much money to only want to give access to one person who they really trust, and that way, at the very least, if something goes wrong, you know who to point the finger to. If Ippei was acting as like a chief of staff for Ohtani, all of this makes sense. Ippei himself told media before that translating constitutes 10% of his actual work for Ohtani. Of course, Ohtani has more work to do to clarity the situation, but so far, that seems like a likely scenario. You also have to understand the context in Japanese culture, where men usually work for the family and live on an allowance provided by their parents when they’re single and their wives when they’re married. It’s very common for men to have zero handling of their finances. (Don’t believe me, ask literally anyone with substantive knowledge in Japanese culture.) In a foreign land, it would make sense that he had his closest confidante since 2013 handle it.
Let’s also remember that if he was actually involved, as some seem to believe, it doesn’t make sense to implicate Ippei in a theft instead of just that he helped pay off Ippei’s debt-that would mean a higher sentence for Ippei, which makes it less likely for him to “take the fall” for this illegal gambling scheme, and would involve stricter investigations into Ohtani himself.
This is true.
Yup. I think Shohei got a bit lazy and gave Ippei too much access so he himself could focus on baseball more.
@@CAsaidit 100% agree. but people forget that Shohei was also only 23 when he moved to the US and could not read or speak English that well so it made sense for him to find someone to help him navigate the US banking and tax system (that is already complicated even if you speak/read English)... in retrospect he probably should have found an accountant/lawyer. It also makes sense he felt more comfortable with relying on someone he trusted and knew already from Japan.
Ohtani is not the type of person who would get into gambling. He is not interested in spending money and dislikes flashy things.
He grew up in a small town that has many rice fields where there are hardly any amusements or stores.
His wife carries a $50 Zara purse still nowadays!!! His wife is also a classy, sporty woman who wears minimal makeup or no makeup at all and no body-conscious dress!
The only reason he drives a Porsche is because it's his sponsor, and the car was given to him for free. He has to drive that for advertisement purposes.
His parents refused when Shohei offered to remodel their house, and his sister and brother refused when Shohei offered to buy a house for them, saying that they don't want to use Shohei's money.
Shohei truly believes in karma and started picking up trash on the ground, believing that doing something good would bring good luck to him. He has been doing that since he was in high school.
Shohei is a humble and good-hearted Japanese person. There is really no way he would get into gambling.
No matter what kind of explanation Ohtani provides, those who are not convinced will never be convinced. Proving one's innocence is extremely difficult, and what people are seeking is not "logical understanding" but "emotional satisfaction." So, no matter what is said, it won't resolve the issue. The question remains why Mizuhara was able to access Ohtani's account, but it's not necessarily the case that Ohtani knows the answer. Unless Ohtani had delegated partial or full management of the account, if it was accessed through some illicit means, asking Ohtani won't yield any answers.
So we’re supposed to believe that after his translator told Ohtanis people that Ohtani paid off $4.5 million of his gambling debts, NOBODY in Ohtani’s camp asked Ohtani directly and just trusted the translator? And then his people made a public statement confirming it without asking Ohtani? Cmon. Gimme a break.
この新しい通訳の方の方が英訳の言葉選び、話し方が丁寧でプロフェッショナルで良かった。😊
まだタッグを組んだばかりで少々ぎこちないがこれから良い相棒になれる事を願います。😊
ただ今回の教訓として今後公私はきっちり分けた方がいいですね。😥
これではっきりしました。後は関係当局に任せましょう。
そですね。
There is one point of concern. How was it possible for Ippei to move that large amount of money into Shohei Otani's account without his permission?
쇼헤이는 계좌 사용하는 방법을 모를 수도 있어요.
미국이라 통장 사용 하는 방법도 모를꺼고 영어도 잘 모를꺼에요.
그래서 영어를 잘하는 잇페이에게 전적으로 다 맡긴거 아닐까요?? 비밀번호까지 다요
@@user-wf4dp5wx6r Normally, during the remittance procedure, the sender will send a password to the individual to confirm their identity. It's unclear why the password was sent to Ippei instead of Shohei.
There are many sneaky ways to do it when it comes to wire and transfer a someone who has large parts of management on behalf of sports players. Ippei’s wasn’t a typical interpreter for Shohei and he got the wrong way of doing it.
I guess the authorities will interogate Ippei about that
🙃
It seems that there was a fund for Ohtani's charity activities, which he entrusted to Mr. Ippei. In a sense, it's not a personal fund but a separate fund specifically for charitable purposes. If that's the case, it makes sense to entrust it to him. In Ohtani's busy schedule, Mr. Ippei serves as a substitute and manages the account, using it for sending donations to disaster-stricken areas and purchasing gloves for young baseball players, among other things.
I feel bad for him, imagine being betrayed by the only person you trusted the most 😢
Gambler's mentality, the moneys just sitting there, ill just win and put his back😮
I am a japanese, I can understand Ohtani’s saying directly. I feel ohtani said the truth by his nonverbal reactions.
Give Shohei Otani his game back
Shohei is not lying luckily for him the Dodgers organization is giving him the opportunity to clear his name they should gave the same opportunity to Julio Urias but that didn't happen
It would have been easy to fool Otani, who cannot read or speak English. If he had not been discovered, he would have taken more money. I think this incident has taught Japanese athletes who are going to the U.S. that it is important to learn English or choose a partner who understands English and a reliable interpreter.
Oh my god
That scumbag Ippei; I could see that Shohei is saddened by this betrayal.
Be careful not to blindly follow Shohei’s side of the story. There are still many questions and Shohei is not taking questions from reporters
Exactly. A BOOKIE was involved here. $4.5 MILLION dollars. Nobody really knows yet what happened here.
Prisons are full of people who thought they could get away with it. Is it Ippei or Ohtani, because its not the bookie?
Otani said he’s never bet on anything, let alone sports. That was missing in the translation.
Shohei look like he was really disappointed. I'm pretty sure he's glad it let it out of his chest. to Shohei haters - you really have to understand Japanese cultures in honesty & trust before making any accusations without merits.
一平はとんでもねえやつだ
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it 🤙🏿
私達が想像する以上の多額のお金が口座に入ってるんだもんね…
口座も複数あって、しかも野球以外の仕事もいくつもあるんだから、高額とはいえ気づけなかったんだろうね。
多額過ぎるし、なによりこの裏切りは辛いね。
パートナーがいて本当によかった😢
Y’all gonna understand what happened here if y’all go listen to that song by Dionne Warwick titled that’s what friends are for
They are not friends anymore.
大谷翔平選手頑張って下さい応援しています。
How does someone talk so much yet the translation is half of what he says
he's summarizing what Shohei is saying, not translating word for word.
With friends like that, who needs enemies?
I'd like to add that I read Mizuhara claimed to have been graduated from U.C. Riverside. The school stated that he never attended the place. If that is true, then Mizuhara is indeed a liar and what Ohtani says makes perfect sense.
もう野球だけさせてやれよ、大谷選手に負担掛けないでくれよ頼むから
大谷選手の気持ち良くわかります🎶相棒は長く続きません。これからは野球⚾に専念できるように願ってます😉😉😊
Even if SYOHEI were to lie, the police would also check his computer history to confirm this.
So I would like to believe what he is saying and support him to get back to his daily life as soon as possible.
I wish him success from Japan.
Why would the bookie let some guy rack up $4.5M in losses? It simply doesn’t make sense.
This guy is a gambler, they are just covery for him, I wonder who will be the fall guy next time....
There's a whole lot of transparency here. This should spare his teammates and management from a media onslaught as he's made it clear that it's in the hands of higher powers to investigate and discipline as they see fit.
It would be nice if the wild conspiracy theories would calm down.
Players cant bet while the League is in bed with organized gambling…………
Merka
This Translator didn’t do a good job. He is not capable to handle this kinda level. This conference was watched worldwide, depend on how people receive, could change the history of baseball.
Shohei’s statement showed very human side. Yet selected word carefully to show respect.
I believe Shohei on what he told in this conference.
Hope he can focus on baseball moving forward.
日本人以外のコメントは、大谷は嘘をついてる！というコメントが多く、非常に興味深い😮
私もコメント読んでますが（英語ネイティブです）、そこまで多くなくないですか？ただどうやって勝手に動かしたのか知りたいというコメント、ただの雇われ通訳がそんなことできるわけない。というコメントが結構あります。
Odd that anyone in Dodger staff or Ohtani’s representatives never confirmed Ippei’s story with Ohtani until he was told about the situation by Ippei himself back in the hotel.
His interpreter was def sus, horrible interpreter at that, probably skimming for the tattooed
This was not ad hoc. They knew exactly what they were going to say well before this was recorded.
You think he'd act more human with emotions . I guess Japanese people don't do that ?
Kicking, crying, screaming, throwing shit, calling Ippei all the names he can think of..... Japanese people almost never do that shit in public, and I am glad. I am sure he still did that behind close doors, but don't expect people of different cultures to act like a "Karen" or "Ken" in public.
Go dodgers
FTD!! GO PADRES!!!
@@natelan69420The Padres are ready for another vacation in Cancun in October!
口座の管理は一平さんが一任し送金もできた。二段階認証を突破したということか
これは大谷選手の金銭管理能力の低さを残念に思う
Before I say his image is tarnished, I’m gonna wait until the conclusion of the MLB investigation and the federal investigation.
Why would you do that? Everyone else already formed an opinion based on talk during the tailgate party from fans who can't even spell Ohtani, and the only Japanese words they know are "sushi" and "Honda."
@@casualguy393 um……..what???
@@smartluck100 I’m agreeing with you ;)
Do you think Ohtani is making a 100% true statement?😮😮😮
大谷さんは嘘はつかない。。。
大谷さんを責める根拠のない噂話はやめて欲しい！
This is gonna be bad. 😢
I guess anyone can say that. Are we just to believe Ohtani automatically. I just don't know. Something doesn't fit . If they were such good friends, brothers almost. Then where's his pain? And now i know he's lying. You don't claim to be brothers and not know them . Lies
You know absolutely nothing of Japanese culture. Just because Ohtani isn't kicking, screaming, crying, throwing shit around the room and calling Ippei every name he can think of like Americans do doesn't make Ohtani a liar. Japanese people don't show their emotions in public hardly any at all.
ippei doesnt write note for the translator , ippei is better transrator honestly .
It does makes sense. They targeted Ippei, thinking that ultimately Shohei would take on the responsibility.
日本語以外のコメントは意外と翔平って信用されてないんだな。
アンチなのかは知らないが、一平について証拠が多いのになんか残念だわ。
アメリカって攻撃的だから、試合中に物を投げられそうで怖いよ。
自国の伝統スポーツで他国の選手がトップになっている事へのやっかみ
アメリカ人に限らず もはや真実を知ろうともしないし、フェイクニュース、プロパガンダに快感を感じている人達の多さに
人類はどう対応していくのか?ではないかと思います
そんなことなくて草
大谷のメジャー永久追放が必要です。
選手は付き合う人間に依って選手生命が脅かされることを徹底して意識すべき。
今後巨額契約金を手にする選手がでてくる中でそれを狙う組織や人が現れて近づいて来ると思う。その金額はファンの日常生活費からかけ離れた金額で、選手の金銭管理能力を疑うことになります。
普段は選手を神だと思っているので神ならこんな大金でも小金と思ってしょうがないかとだんだん思うようになるのでしょうが。
同じ事件が増えればスポンサーやファンやメジャースポーツが混乱し、人々の頭の中はスポーツと関係ない事件のことでいっぱいになります。
スポンサー企業も金銭管理能力ないとみなされかねない。
試合とは関係なく、こんなことを起こす選手含めそれらバカたちの試合を見る必要があるか？と思います。時間がたつにつれメジャーを嫌煙し後に離れてしまうことも考えられます。
それを退けるには、選手自身に重い罰則を課すことが重要です。
今回の大谷は永久追放すべきです。
そうすれば今後の選手自らが金銭教育を受けるようになり、付き合う人間を真剣に考えるようになります。選手も馬鹿では困るのです。
アメリカのメジャーリーグは憧れのスポーツです。神聖な感じすらあったのです。それが金銭管理能力のないバカたちの力自慢に思えてくるのです。
これは残念です。毎日メジャーの試合をみていた私としては怒りすらあります。
厳格な罰則により神聖さが保たれることを期待します。
AHO
😂😂😂
Did the Ipster have power of attorney?
Nah. Anyone can access Ohtani's bank account and send money anywhere they want. I tried it and now my bank accounts are full AF. You should try it too.
FYI, Ohtani gave Ippei access to his bank account because not only were they friends, but Ippei was entrusted to help Ohtani with basically everything. Ohtani was gullible and Ippei took advantage of that.
Guess it was stealing then
Lesson of this story: you can never trust anyone especially if there’s money involved…
Brandon lee is still alive!
Funny it looks like him - shorter? perhaps.
Why no questions from the people's press?
Because his lawyers created this story and wrote the statement.
@@justinwaddell2956
あなたが何を知ってるのか分からないけど批判ばかりして人生楽しくなさそうですね。
It was not translated but Shohei said this is everything he knows and could tell at this point so he won’t go over with questions from press.
Dodgers just coming to Ohtani's rescue anyone who believes otherwise is a fool, the interpreter is just an employee there is no way he would have access to Ohtani's bank account(s) I would understand it if his agent was embezzling money from Ohtani that is a completely different story!
You do not understand the Japanese culture and how an interpreter could be more than just an employee but could be entrusted with much more especially that Shohei needed his assistance in the daily life due to language.
@@msr7827 Lol I understand perfectly the real question is the 700 million dollar emphasis. Understanding when you get caught doing something, you pin the fall guy and you sway politics like playing dices just like the Dodgers did and they have to save their new star and I don't have to understand Japanese culture that is just a fact if you choose to look at it or not!
Japanese people have so much honor and pride. They even kill themselves if they know they will end up tarnishing their family's name. I believe Ohtani.
Just saying.🤷♀️
Dodgers and Ohtsni just trying to save 700 million and Faces !!
hes with mitsushishi bank and they let a friend of his wire millions out of his account without his approval or even knowing about it?
He uses Chime, just like you.
He probably has more than one bank account unlike you that has a bank account for all of your EBT cards
and the bank or banks that wired the funds hold all the evidence.
The IRS is in their investigation process and role. However, he is like others with big $$$, will have a very high profile and private financial institution for High-Net-Worth Clients. So far, he sounds very innocent...
Dodgers can't afford a better pen than a plastic BIC?
Some say those pens are the best in the biz
💀
If I am being paid all these millions and is playing in the US for America’s number pastime, shouldn’t I start learning English? Just my 2 cents.
His job is to play baseball, not give public speeches. He'll learn English by exposure, but I don't give a shit if he never utters another word. If I want to hear speeches I'll listen to Biden's and Trump's stoopid asses.
What kind of headline is that? He sent the money himself 😂😂😂😂
Mizuhara is innccent
I wonder how Mizuhara was able to send this large amount of money several times without the identity verification.
If the bank allowed to send this large amount of money without the identity verification, there is no wonder even if they should also take a responsibility for the lack of their security.
In my opinion, Mizuhara made the debts by gambling and Ootani was begged by Mizuhara and he sent money.
なぜ、水原氏が本人確認なしでこんな大金を数回にも渡って送金できたのだろう。
もし、銀行が本人確認なしで送金させたとなると、銀行もセキュリティの脆弱性について責任を問われてもおかしくないと思う。
個人的な意見として、水原氏がギャンブルで借金を作った。そして大谷は水原氏にお願いされて送金したと思う。
did Ippei learn to embellish his resume from this translator, cause this guy speaks as much Japanese as me lmao
9:41このセリフを大谷自身が英語で言ってあげる事によってロサンゼルスのファンは安心するんじゃないかなぁ。アメリカ人からしたら通訳が事件を起こした事によって今までの大谷のコメントも水原が操作したコメントに見えてるから、ちゃんと大谷の声で「犯罪には関わってない。俺を信じてくれ。」って拙い英語でも良いから聞きたいんだと思う。
He is a tainted good. Before it is too late, the Dodgers should trade him to the Yankees for a catcher.
How does an interpreter steal over 4 million dollars?
This smells to high heaven. Ohtani has the lawyers to get out of this, but the Golden Boy is now tarnished
says the random dude on youtube. relax.
Before I say his image is tarnished, I’m going to wait till the MLB investigation and the federal investigation is over.
Yankee fans for ya. Tarnished because you know everything. 😂
Drama queen !! And the media loves him… ship his a-s out!
Zelle-Tani or does he prefer Pay Pal or Crash App?
This whole thing smells VERY fishy...🤔Is it just me?
Oh, it is fishy okay.
I'm sure this is great news to those who don't want Ohtani to succeed more than he has
Just you.
@@seekthetruths22
お疲れ様
@@junma3283 So you take everything you hear from the media at face value...How cute...
sure blame the interpreter who is not there to defend himself.
His ex-interpreter is probably still hiding in Korea. I would love to hear what Ippei has to say, but from what I have read about Ippei, he is a serial liar similar to the orange clown.
Only in japan they will believe otani side story.all of America,nobody believes otani story.ippei moved 4.5 million dollars from otani money wire transferred to illegal bookmaker and otani bank never contacted otani ever ? Unbelievable! Ippei sent $500000 to book maker 8 or 9 times and otani never knew about it until last Wednesday? how is it possible?
Easy, Ohtani trusted Ippei with his money accounts. Just wait till the FBI investigation is over; the truth will come out.
