Ohtani’s attorneys accused Mizuhara of “massive theft” tied to illegal gambling with reports that at least $4.5 million in wire transfers were sent to the bookmaking operation that is currently under federal investigation. The Los Angeles Times reported that Mizuhara was still interpreting for Ohtani on Wednesday when the Dodgers opened the regular season against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea. He was seen in the dugout during the first game of the series.
News reports allege Ohtani’s name is visible on documents showing two $500,000 payments. One was sent in September and the other in October to the bookmaking operation run by Mathew Bowyer.
