The historical star's innocence has been proven. I'm glad that everyone knew this.
ESPN should apologize for instigating the misunderstanding. The people who took advantage of this and posted derogatory posts should be arrested.
They’ve been VERY quiet. Where’s Tisha Thompson now? She started all this.
@@mkate1947He should sue her and all the medias.
@@mkate1947no actually Tisha make alot of correction to people like Stephen A who misinterpreted her investigation to suit their agenda, he even say it's a cheque that othani sign and Tisha correct him.
The people who call Ohtani "fool" in this case are ordinary people who care more about money than baseball. Ohtani is a strange guy who values baseball more than money. No more than that.
But you know what? So he has a special talent.
And I want to tell the skeptics. You should know that not everyone looks at the numbers in their account every day and grins.
Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.
Well said!
Yeah, he doesn't value money at all. That's why he left the Angels and signed the richest contract in history. Are you serious with this?
@@HTHAMMACK1 he signed with the dodgers to win. He didn’t ask for that much. The team offered. He wanted to defer his entire contract but his agent stopped saying he couldn’t play baseball for free so instead he deferred 97%.
He sent all his money to his parents and used only $200 from $1000 monthly allowance when he was making millions in Japan. He chose to live in a team dormitory instead of a luxury apartment so he could have easier access to training facilities. He is donating a lot of money to children in Japan. The donations to foreign organizations are not deductible in U.S. these facts about Ohtani are famously known.
Ohtani has been subjected to media harassment every day.American media didn't believe him.Apologize to him and the fans.
すごいなキミは…
あらゆるところで書いてる
グッジョブ！
Americans are racist
今や60億の苫小牧の英雄いっぺーさん
You are right about that, indeed.
What amazes me the most is that there still are idiots believing they are way smarter than the federal investigators and better qualified to look into the matter. The criminal complaint has determined that SHOHEI IS INNOCENT and if you can't stand it, try your hardest to prove otherwise.
He got robbed by trusted friend and got booed by ohtani haiters.
How tough situation was he has gone through.
Exactly. Talk about compartmentalizing and staying focused on your given task. He leads the league in doubles btw!
I dunno u belive in religion or not.. But in my believe, someone tested with problem so they can going to the next level of their mental and spiritual growth
@@adinugroho382I'm a straight up Buddhist, and couldn't agree more. Those who have greatly impacted the lives of others in positive ways have always overcome adversity. Like you say, this one will only make Ohtani stronger not just as a ballplayer but as a person.
@@wholewheatiesthis is very true. He has Mamiko for emotional support and healing from this incident, hopefully.
@@koningklootzak7788
Decopin, too!🐶
now everyone apologize.
They never will. People would rather go consprcy than admit they were wrong.
Yep, screw all of those fake news spreaders
From whom? US media? No you won’t see that for life
I'm sorry
Shohei Ohtani is such a class act.
Money is just a byproduct to Ohtani, something that allows him to do what he loves, eat sleep (in a private jet) and play ball at the highest level, nothing more nothing less. That’s why it’s hard for haters to understand why he wasn’t drooling over his own money all the time like most of us would if we had that kind of money.
The main issue lies in conducting an interview with Ippei, a suspect, without Ohtani's knowledge and subsequently making it public. This has cast unwarranted suspicion on him. Imagine not only being robbed of a large sum but also being betrayed by someone you've trusted for years, only to find yourself absent on that day, while TV reports portray the suspect's words as if they were your own. A correction statement should be issued, in my opinion. Ohtani made significant donations to Ishikawa Prefecture's earthquake relief efforts last year and provided gloves worth hundreds of millions of yen to all elementary schools nationwide. With multiple sponsorship deals, his income is substantial. There's a high possibility that Ippei, the interpreter-secretary, exploited his authority during Ohtani's recovery, potentially misusing it due to gambling debts. Furthermore, recent findings suggest misuse of US bank accounts with Check Writing Privileges for online transfers, raising concerns. For journalists, including ESPN reporters, it's essential to verify information directly with the individual rather than through an intermediary before publication.
This. ABC/ESPN are covering their @ss by acting like they don’t report false information
Yup, ESPN was no better than tabloid papers
その通りです！ESPNが裏取り取材をせずに報道したことで被害者の大谷が悪者になっていた😢
THIS, is an excellent and spot-on comment
The female EPSN reporter seemed very proud that she had interviewed Ippei Mizuhara before anyone else.
She confused the public by reporting the suspect's words without directly checking with Otani beforehand.
Need her immediate apology
ESPN and Rich Eisen must apologize to Shohei Ohtani 😢. What a shame !! And No need to negotiate a plead guilty for this vicious criminal, IPPEI .
Eisen tweeted a few hours ago that he read the whole document and now believes completely in Shohei's innocence. He said Shohei was robbed blind by someone he trusted, etc. I'm still upset that Eisen ever doubted Ohtani. So very many people owe Shohei an apology of epic proportions.
Don’t leave out Stephen A hating smith
Michael Kay too.hope Ohtani camp sues them all.
@@keophong9598 Stephen A Smith has always been an anti-Asian racist. Even his fans know this. That’s why they’re his fans
How about official apology from media in USA attacking Ohtani and not believing in him.
How about not.
Also apologize for Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
アメリカ当局に感謝します。迅速にありがとう。素晴らしい仕事です。
i have no doubt in my mind that Ohtani is innocent. He was a clear target, a Japanese who speaks no english by a Man who lives in the US for most of his life. People saying that he was the fall guy must all be sick in their minds. He's guilty for being too trusting, bordering to stupidity, BUT no way knows that he's being robbed. It can happen to anyone. believe me
I totally agree.
They just waited the moment to attack ohtani. They want ohtani fall
My work is to help my Japanese coworkers who are assigned to work in the US. I don’t help set up their bank account because there’s a Japanese finance guy but I help them with everything else. They are all very trusting. I can see how ohtani trusted Ippei with his account. I am also Japanese.
And even if Shohei was naive or careless, does that change what Ippei did?
If I had a pile of my money on a table in my house and someone just takes it without permission, isn't that still theft?
Just because you are able to take it, doesn't mean you are permitted to.
I agree with you that Ohtani is innocent. But I don't think that Ohtani is guilty of being too trusting, bordering to stupidity. That’s victim blaming in a way. Ohtani never gave Ippei Mizuhara any access to his bank account. Mizuhara stole from Ohtani by abusing his position as his interpreter and de facto manager. There are tons of American athletes and celebrities who had millions stolen by people close to them. Former NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Richard Jefferson had millions stolen by their personal assistants. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Jack Johnson, Jake Peavy....so many athletes have been defrauded out millions. Billy Joel had $90 million stolen by his ex brother in law. Dane Cook’s brother stole more than $15 million from him. American athletes and celebrities don't even have a language barrier living in the US and they were still defrauded out of millions by people they trusted. It happens all the time.
Most Japanese believed that Otani was innocent and not involved in gambling. On the other hand, most US people suspected that Otani was primarily involved in gambling. This difference is surprising.
Ohtani is not Pete Rose.
Ohtani is the best player ever
I hope even the anti-Dodger or anti-Asian haters learned why Ohtani is the all-time unicorn. It’s his total, superhuman focus on baseball and doing his best. In addition to losing millions, being betrayed by his close friend and confidante, and being smeared by dirtbags with idiotic conspiracy theories, the entire work watched his every move and gossiped in front of his face. IT DID NOT MATTER TO THE GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME. Check his awesome game record, you know-nothing fools
I had no idea Asian racism was tied in directly with hating the dodgers also
@@MyConcertLife5Ohtani is the most humble nicest guy and sports athlete there is, a person got to have so much jealousy to dislike him, It's sad but we all know why the trolls dislike Shohei 1st-he's one of the best players in the game 2nd-he's Asian and the face of baseball 3rd-he's the highest paid player (deserves it he's Cole and Judge as one player) but everytime when they come on and criticize the great Unicorn it only makes the trolls look like a fool.
@@MyConcertLife5 New to English? Learn how “or” is different from “and.”
I cried for Shohei when I heard the details of the crime committed by Mr. Mizuhara.
soft ^
^Dick @@DaniClassics
Same. Mr. Mizuhara is an evil con man.
What became clear from the recent press conference by the judicial authorities is that Mizuhara did not resort to tapping into Ohtani san’s bank account out of desperation from gambling, but rather, he intentionally stole from Ohtani san’s bank account to gamble with Ohtani san’s assets from the very beginning. Could there be a more typical motive for a thief? Regardless, all we can do is hope that Ohtani san’s wounded heart heals as soon as possible.
Poor Shohei. He's innocent.
Why do Americans and the American media criticize Otani so much, but do not apologize to him when the facts are known? Is it a sense of discrimination against Asians and Japanese?
Jealousy! $700million man!
If ohtani was a gambler as many people suspected, he would have wanted every bit of his salary paid into his bank account every month, not 10 years later!
That’s so true
Good bye Ohtani Haters, I can feel your depression.
Racist will stay racist people like Stephen A already force to apologise before but hey they never learn.
BOY does ESPN look stupid now.
poor Ohtani....😭
Just ESPN must apologize, Ohtani.
What does ESPN need to apologize for?
@@IRanOutOfPhrases They fabricated a report as if Otani was the culprit.
@@SK-dn9nk Did they?
@IRanOutOfPhrases
She couldn't accept that she was deceived by Mizuhara. So, she spread out fake news all over the world.
@@joeyfriends9081 who is she?
The haters are still making excuses. They are now saying that the feds and IRS are letting it go because Shohei is the face of baseball.
So they got there text messages between each other SINCE THEY MET in 2013!! And never did they once speak about gambling! It’s sad that people were slandering his name off of no credibility and basing it on money transferring. ESPN needs to apologize because that interview screwed up perception of Ohtani.
Nobody needed ESPN to make that leap. It's still an unbelievable story.
that's pretty scary that they have access to everyone in the world text messages, don't you think?
@@allforoneandoneforall all they have to do is go to our network providers and can even get deleted texts. Once it’s sent. It’s a wrap. So that’s why I know he’s innocent because FBI said they found nothing. And trust me. THEY TURNED OVER EVERY LEAF! But yes I am not dumb enough to think government doesn’t have ways to invade our privacy. They do it all the time without us knowing. I know agents with access probably invaded their favorite celebrities privacy and other horrible things.

@@wilburwood8261 he probably needed one as he has an intellectual disability.
These same people asking how Shohei got ripped off to the tune of $16million forgot Tom Brady got $30million stolen by Sam Bankman Fried.
I agree, people are making it sound like what Ippei did stealing money from Shohei is a shock, got to understand it happens all the time. It happened in my bussiness were an employer whose also manager took out money from the campany to use on his expense. Here's some of the clients and associates that robbed and stole money from athletes and celebrities - Tim Duncan was robbed $20 million dollars, John Elway lost $15 million, Kareem Abul Jabbar lost $9 million, Kevin Garnett lost $78 million, Usain Bolt lost $12 million, Robert DeNiro lost $88 million dollars, Elton John lost $29 million, Billy Joel $90 million ect......All by clients, associates and even close partners.
It wasn't $30 million cash. It was an equity grant. Not even close to the same thing. No money ever left Tom's bank account.
It’s time to get back at those who spread defamatory information. Post the names of all those who did over the past month so we can boycott them and their sponsors
Your boy is dumb.

Ohtani is a generational talent, much like undefeated Japanese boxer Naoya “the Monster” Inoue.
Love them both!
There is another generational talent in Japan.
Sota Fujii, who is the grandmaster of Shogi. Not only that, he currently holds all 8, every single title of the sport, an unprecedented feat.
He is considered the best ever, at least no one has come close during the last 400 years.
And he is only 21 years old.
Normal people: Ohtani has been cleared; he is INNOCENT!

@@hd7704They're a very loud minority, if that's any comfort. But I think it's worth pointing out where their narrative fails for the benefit of other people.
If only investigations on political figures would be so diligent and performed in such a thorough manner
The political figure you're probably referring to is fighting awfully hard and dirty, unlike these 2 men from Japan. Do bear in mind that while a lot of courtesy is being extended to him, he is responsible for all the delays and your frustration, not the Department of Justice.
@MMuraseofSandvich your brain manipulated whatever you wanted my comment to mean. Unfortunately you have no understanding of what I'm referring to. The entire American political system and it's members have been stealing taxpayers money for decades and nobody stops that from continuing...wake up
Hope the trial will be on TV
I knew ohtani was innocent. Just look at his baby face and behavior. And ippei his face addiction and evil.
😂
Most times it's your own people who will bring you down the fastest.
Ippei is American.
@@yo2trader539 his heritage is Japanese. What he did is American.
@@yo2trader539He’s Japanese Not American.
It's not just $16m, Ohtani paid taxes on his income. Ippei got money without paying taxes, and the bookmaker paid no tax either, as they said it was "loan repayments," so they are not subject to tax. Ohtani probably pays approx 40% or more tax, so tax itself is another $6.4m!!
Ippei is going away for a LONG time. The tinfoil hat idiots making up a conspiracy theory of Ippei “taking a fall for his friend” are the dumbest, loudest fools around. They probably think Covid was never real either😂
The IRS is doing their own investigation, so Ippei and the bookie are not off the hook for taxes.
Stephen A smith needs to issue an apology with his hating As’s
The interpreter had the job of a lifetime. But he just control himself. He had to be greedy and steal from an innocent player who just wants to play baseball.
Stoke more than 16M? He has access to Shohei bank acct. This is just awful-Wow!
Ippei was too much Americanized
There are literally millions of Nikkei who don't have gambling problems, and gambling on things like horse racing is a thriving business in Japan. The fact that Ippei 's parents emigrated to the US doesn't have anything to do with his problems.

Let's be real, the Japanese sports media was also peddling speculation even though they didn't have any evidence the American media already had. And if the PR was handled any worse, they would be at least as savage as the Americans. The pitfall of trying to be first rather than correct exists on both sides of the Pacific.

I was blown away by how the americans mentality works,how they looked at Ohtani as suspect… I kinda want him back in our baseball league…in Japan… we love you Shohei we root for you ❤🤍
This would mean that the bank is liable ---- Banks across the U.S. and Europe use this sort of voice verification to let customers log into their account over the phone. Some banks tout voice identification as equivalent to a fingerprint, a secure and convenient way for users to interact with their bank. This is concerning for all Americans, its a flawed system that must be shut down.
In this case Ippei changed phone# and email contact to his own on the specific Ohtani bank account that was stolen from. Ohtani has several bank accounts which are managed by his agent and the hired financial advisors but Ippei lied to Ohtanis agent saying that Ohtani said he wants NO ONE else besides Ohtani to have access to that bank account that it should be private. Ohtani didn't know that he told his agent that and his agent had no reason to not believe Ippei because Ippei said Ohtani said so (even though Ohtani had no idea). So when the bank called the accounts contact which says Ohtani they really unknowingly called Ippei who acted as Ohtani. If you read the affidavit it explains all if these details. Ippei lied to Ohtani's agents too. And what is sort of terrifying is what else has Ippei lied about or withheld from Ohtani or interpreted incorrectly! I hope that he wasn't the interpreter for endorsements or signing contracts. Being an interpreter should be a certified sworn to oath thing that if you lie or misinterpret you van ve held legally liable. (Maybe it is...I don't know the ins and outs of that).
The interpreter was employed by the Angels could possibly be civilly accountable.
Witchhunt!
Even if they didn't do their due diligence, it's going to be very hard to prove negligence on the part of the Angels.
@@MMuraseofSandvich Will it though? The preponderance of evidence isn’t as hard to prove for civil cases. I just don’t know the employment status of the interpreter while with the Angels, especially since Ohtani met him in Japan first.

If $16 million is not enough to give him the Maximum sentence then something is wrong.
If he doesn’t contest this case and negotiates with the government, Ippei would be saving time and money to the US gov., so they’ll give him a little break. There’s been much larger amounts embezzled in the past.
I doubt they would give him max 30 years jail time, so how about 16 years?

Ippei gon spill the beans on the stand
My question is, will Shohei get back those stolen money? Or the illegal book maker gets to keep it?
well I have to say none of all money got back to him
unfortunely No!!
Very unlikely that stolen money returns to its rightful owner in most circumstances. Stuff is bought, evidence is destroyed, money gets moved overseas or into crypto.
Shohei is a victim of his own money theft.
And even if the money is legally claimed, it is so expensive that Ippei has no ability to pay it and will never get it back.
Shohei is a victim who is likely to lose his money as it was stolen from him.
What is this strange way of thinking where the victim is bashed instead of the perpetrator?
My question is where is Mizuhara?
it's not even about the money...he's just addicted to high stake gambling
If someone got DOB, SSN and legal name and account can it be easy to do scamming?
I remember watching ESPN 30 for 30 episode Broke… so many athletes had millions stolen from them without their knowledge. I think most didn’t learn about it till the end of their careers.
This should be a clear message that you should not lose money when gambling especially when you have your reputation to lose. If one gambles one must win. May the odds be Eva in your favor.
His trial drama would make Japanese media have a field day. I wish i could be in courtroom for hearing some people sit on the witness stand.😅
Poor Shohei, and some media think he’s involved in gambling until today
It’s MiZuhara, not Mitsu
Even in Japan, Tisha Thompson has become as famous as Bob Davidson.
But why did the stories keep changing?
Mizuhara reminds all of us that you can't trust anybody if and when you have a ton of money. Mizuhara probably wasn't a bad guy in the beginning, but working closely with a rich man like Ohtani turned him into a crook. Sad. He had a really good job with good reputation. Now, he literally ruined his own life.
right. took it for granted and kept hoping to live beyond his means and became a criminal. what a disgrace to his wife and family as well

From new york times: In coming clean, though, Mizuhara made one last effort to protect himself from the law, according to two people familiar with the conversation, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private matter. He asked his patron to go along with the story that he had just told Ohtani’s teammates, his advisers and a reporter for ESPN who had made inquires about $4.5 million in wire transfers from Ohtani’s account to an illegal bookmaker in California.
Ohtani refused and called his agent, Nez Balelo, into the conference room. Balelo then had several other people dial in as they managed the crisis: a lawyer in Los Angeles; Matthew Hiltzik, a crisis communications executive in New York; and a new interpreter whom Ohtani’s inner circle could trust. Mizuhara’s wife also joined the meeting.
Seems Ippei is trying to make Ohtani the fall guy instead?
Shohei Otani is a star, Ippei Mizuhara is a shooting star

It was really shocking for Ohtani fans in Japan to know that Ippei deliberately set up this in 2018, years before he started stealing money from Shohei, saying that Shohei wanted his account private. Shohei was not the only one who trusted Ippei. We all DID. Ippei betrayed all the trust he got from everyone and almost destroyed Shohei's career. So sinful.

I was someone who is awfully suspicious of Ohtani. But the 'winnings' being reported in the translator's bank account is quite damning and pretty much a final nail in the coffin.
I do still remain very confused as to how that 'unaired' interview with ESPN ever took place where it seemed like Ohtani's people had communication with ESPN and in the interview they said Ohtani knew about it and was willingly paying off debts. Then the story immediately changed after that.
How did that interview ever get greenlit? I'm willing to believe this was not Ohtani's gambling given where the winnings popped up, but that still seems like such an odd moment in the timeline that deserves clarification.
New guy in the PR team? PR team was confused because Ippei told them multiple contradictory stories? A lot is possible, and I'm sure the Dodgers are getting to the bottom of that one.
