"Shohei Ohtani's Interpreter Scandal Unveiled: A Timeline of Fraud and Gambling"

Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, has been charged with bank fraud for allegedly embezzling $16 million from Ohtani's account to cover gambling debts. Mizuhara, who met Ohtani in 2013 and was his interpreter during his time with the Los Angeles Angels, is accused of sending the funds to an illegal sports gambling operation without Ohtani's knowledge. The investigation revealed that Ohtani was a victim in the case, and there is no evidence to suggest his involvement in the transfers. If convicted, Mizuhara could face up to 30 years in prison.
