"MLB Investigates Shohei Ohtani Gambling Scandal Amid Controversy"

Shohei Ohtani's representatives have declined to disclose which authorities they have contacted to report the alleged theft against his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. While the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS have confirmed an investigation into Mizuhara, it remains unclear whether Ohtani's theft allegation is part of a wider probe involving federal money laundering and illegal gambling. Ohtani's camp has not provided proof of reporting the theft to an investigating agency, and there is no confirmation from local, state, or federal agencies that they have received a report from Ohtani's representatives.
