TL;DR Summary

Ippei Mizuhara, former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani, faces a federal charge of bank fraud after allegedly stealing over $16 million from Ohtani's bank account to finance illegal sports betting. Mizuhara made unauthorized transfers from Ohtani's account and impersonated him to approve large wire transfers to bookmakers. Ohtani is considered a victim in the case, and there is no evidence to suggest his involvement in Mizuhara's illegal activities. If convicted, Mizuhara could face up to 30 years in prison.
