Los AngelesCNN —
Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter for baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani, will face a federal charge of bank fraud for allegedly stealing more than $16 million from Ohtani, the US attorney in Los Angeles announced Thursday.
US Attorney Martin Estrada said Mizuhara made unauthorized transfers from Ohtani’s bank account from November 2021 until January 2024. According to a news release from the US attorney’s office, Mizuhara used his close relationship with Ohtani – someone whom he accompanied on a constant basis due to the Japanese star’s limited understanding of English – to fuel his gambling addiction.
Estrada said Ohtani is “considered a victim in this case,” and there’s no evidence suggesting Ohtani was actively involved.
“Our investigation has revealed that due to the position of trust he occupied with Mr. Ohtani, Mr. Mizuhara had unique access to Mr. Ohtani’s finances,” Estrada said. “Mr. Mizuhara used and abused that position of trust in order to take advantage of Mr. Ohtani.”https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/11/sport/ippei-mizuhara-shohei-ohtani-investigation/index.html
Mizuhara, who did not bet on baseball, is "linked to an illegal gambling operation," Estrada said.
The maximum penalty for being convicted of bank fraud is 30 years in prison, Estrada said.
From November 2021 to January 2024, Mizuhara wired more than $16 million in unauthorized transfers from a checking account belonging to Ohtani, according to an affidavit filed with the complaint. The transfers from this bank account were made from devices and IP addresses associated with Mizuhara, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
In September 2021, Mizuhara began gambling with an illegal sports book and, months later, started losing large sums of money, prosecutors said.
Between December 2021 and January 2024, Mizuhara is accused of making 19,000 bets that ranged in value from $10 to $160,000 per bet, the affidavit said.
During this time, the contact information on Ohtani’s bank account allegedly was changed to link the account to Mizuhara’s phone number and to an anonymous email address connected to Mizuhara, prosecutors said.
