Ippei Mizhuara not only became Shohei Ohtani's closest friend since Ohtani came to the U.S., but was extremely well-liked by the Angels' players and the Dodgers this spring. He is now being accused by Ohtani's attorneys of stealing millions of dollars from him, per the LA Times
@BNightengale Are we sure that he wasn’t placing bets on the behalf of Ohtani?
@BNightengale Stealing millions from Ohtani is like stealing a parking spot for the rest of us. $700,000,000.00 million. He’ll survive.
@BNightengale How does the interpreter have access to Ohtanis accounts for such large amounts? How was Ohtani, not aware of something so big but his reps did and the interpreter was still serving as his interpreter as of….YESTERDAY?!? Something isn’t adding up.
@BNightengale Ippei definitely got paid off to take the fall. How in the world would he get access to ohtanis funds and it just not being noticed
