An update on the interpreter Mizuhara…

So it’s illegal to pay illegal sports betting operations. So the only way to get out of that is to make the guy a thief

I can’t speak for your gambling habits but when the fbi isnibvomced in a high profile case like this they are looking for people to take down. The hollow for sure. Ohtani would be a tremendous target. And yes. Mizuhara is caught in the crosshairs.

I believe the strategy among all is al that mizuhara is going down either way. Ohtani will help him and even make life easier if he plays along What is at stake is a promising baseball career and a billion dollars of assets and contracts. Endorsements etc. If that all goes away and ohtani is banned then mizuhara gets nothing. Either way he’s screwed. Do the best scenario for everyone is to protect the golden goose.

And in that mlb dodgers shohei. His agents and sponsors all agree. Even mizuhara. Oh and the government gets their pigeon

What’s funny is the truth already came out and they realized the truth wasn’t the best story so they came up with another one

Let me be clear, the Ohtani camp better not be lying about the interpreter stealing the money. Understand what I’m saying? Yes, I see where you’re going here. It makes sense, other than the fact the interpreter is going to get more than double f***** in court by taking blame for a 4.5 mil dollar theft that might not have happened. And you can add an ID theft and /or forgery case to the charges if there was in fact a theft. There won’t just be 1 felony charge. He had to have committed the theft by one or both of those methods.

I think under the pressure of reporters and the truth coming out. And the first truth not being palatable at all this is the second story.

I highly doubt they have consulted with any criminal attorneys here. MLB. The dodgers. Agents and sponsors all controlled the narrative. And all are very good at doing so. This guy is bust. He hasn’t been charged with anything. You really think he’s consulting with a criminal attorney? Someone versed in embezzlement. Forgery? Identity theft? I’d be shocked if even by today he’s talked to anyone. My gosh they are in Korea. Who are they gonna talk to?

This is a story that broke. It exploded. Considering the dodgers tour. At the worst time. I think it was times intentionally that way. Someone wants to embarrass shohei and wouldn’t surprise me if someone from the angels planted or leaked the story as revenge.

Either way it’s a story that broke. Not an arrest. Not people being hauled away. So at this point I think the story is ahead of the prosecution. And everyone is scrambling to control the narrative.

For you to assume they have mapped out a criminal testimony management plan and can act logically in that way? Nope. Nope nope. This blew up in their face. Japanese guy told the truth. Thought he was making Ohtani look good. Took responsibility and then found out that wasn’t good enough. And this is plan b. Might turn out worse for him than plan a.

Don’t be surprised if faced with jail time and the felonies you laid out if he changes his story back to the original once in custody. Depends on who he trusts to take care of him in the future. The government or his friend. Oh and the guy is married. So that’s at stake too. Women run from stuff like this so he’s likely to lose her too

Lol, this is NOT clear AT ALL.

First off, Ohtani’s lawyers stated dude is “accused “ of wiring 4.5 mil from Ohtani’s account. Ok, but that’s not a crime if he had permission. Is this identity theft (used Ohtani’s personal info to make an unauthorized transaction(s))? Or was it a forgery where Ohtani’s signature was required on a document?

Now the video…. LOL, who the F is this know nothing loser? “This IS bad.” How the F do you know? Based on what evidence exactly?

It can be extremely annoying when someone who has no background in legal matters comments on them. I’m talking about the guy in the vid, not you coach….. look, maybe Ohtani stepped on his dick. I have no idea. All I know is all the info being pushed out to the media doesn’t answers any of my questions. I want specifics in order to establish what exactly happened. None of this indicates Ohtani had any knowledge or involvement. The fact Ohtani’s name is on the wire transfer (“loan”) doesn’t establish chit as far as Ohtani is concerned.

Instead of selling news/clicks, I wish these morons would use some common sense, or maybe open up a penal code.

And is this a “theft” or not? Maybe Ohtani’s representation misspoke initially. If so, more heads need to roll. Fire everyone…. Ohtani has enough money now to pay the top people in the industry. These select few are actually very talented and get paid not to make STUPID mistakes. The Dodger organization needs to step in and connect him with the right people. And fly in a respectable, college educated interpreter from Japan who has no success with women and no interest in late night activities like drinking and gambling. There of thousands to choose from in that country. It’s not not difficult

The news surrounding Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter Ippei Mizuhara was bizarre enough until more details emerged.
