Gruesome details were revealed about the figure of Ippei Mizuhara, the interpreter of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ star pitcher, Shohei Ohtani, who presumably accumulated million-dollar debts in illegal bets. in California in recent years.
There is talk of at least four and a half million dollars in wire transfers sent from Ohtani’s bank account to a gambling operation. Ricardo López Juárez, sports editor of La Opinión, commented a little more on this delicate topic.
“What a bombshell we received this Wednesday, a few hours after the regular baseball season began with the Dodgers, playing in Seoul, Korea, against the San Diego Padres with Shohei Ohtani, hitting his first hits, producing races, making a key man for the good debut of the Dodgers in that campaign, a few hours later pass and boom! “Not tremendous news of global impact when these details of how Ippei Mizuhara are revealed,” Ricardo Lopez Juarez
The editor of La Opinión added that “one thinks that the people who have followed Shohei Ohtani in his years with Los Angeles and now with the Dodgers, know that Ippei and how he is popularly known will always be by his side.this is a 39 year old Japanese man who grew up and has spent most of his life in Southern Californiahis popularity was so great and there was so much interest in him that even the local newspapers here in Los Angeles in Southern California have published articles about him, such as his coexistence with Ohtani, how he has helped Ohtani, not only as interpreter to translate Japanese into English and make life easier, but also how it has helped him adapt as a person since he came from Japan to the United States.”
“To that degree is the influence and let’s say the importance of Ippei Mizuhara in Shohei Ohtani’s life, that’s why when we see these reports from media such as ESPN and Los Angeles that came out simultaneously this Wednesday, it has left us speechless (…) it was revealed that he He went into debt for bets he made on sports, but not on baseball because he says ‘I know the rules and I know that we in the Major Leagues cannot bet on baseball’, but what he did on football, basketball, in the NFL.
The name Ohtani appears in this whole issue due to a federal investigation against a man Matthew Boyer, more than a man who ran this legal sports betting operation in Orange County, “for people who don’t know in California sports betting They are still illegal, this lock has been opened throughout the country, in most states they already allow sports betting, but California has remained stoic, perhaps it has a lot to do with the fact that Nevada, which is here on the side, would not suit it that California legalizes sports betting,” Rcardo clarified.
