ESPN needs to publish a full statement. It’s insanity to publish a story from Ippei without Ohtani’s consent and act like it’s fact. I know they are a sports media channel but they need to do better due diligence

[@ericjeller]

it’s such poor journalism, unbelievable

[@omgbygollywow]

They don't care. They want to be the first to leak a story. It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not. They just want the publicity and the clicks or attention.

[@dn9597]

People and media who accused Shohei Ohtani for using Ippei as a cover up owe Shohei apology! Shohei is/was a victim and innocent!

espn needs to stay out of police work

[@stevest8675]

Agree.

Hey ESPN! Say something, I'm waiting in Japan.

日本人から見て大谷選手が始めからイノセントなのは明らか

한국 사람 들도 같은 생각 입니다

We Vietnamese always felt Ohtani is innocent. Glad the Feds solve this case.

[@kensmom011]

We knew he is an innocent!!

Shohei Ohtani is innocent and unmatured. He knows only baseball.

[@fartkicker]

immature...not unmatured

If you have a chance to open a bank account in a foreign country, nobody can understand English, howto deal with a bank?

[@ojsimpin]

Not a peep from espn or Stephen a smith after maliciously going after Ohtani. Cowards

[@stevest8675]

Ippei is an evil conman.

[@sampak7739]

Ohtani parents should have known Famous Selena got killed by booker

[@tmuny1380]

Kudos to his accountants for writing off the gambling losses to the IRS !

[@deanwalker7216]

Shohei is insulated…. but no way he didn’t know.

[@desertedstranger2914]

The federal investigation proved he didn’t know anything. Go fuck your self tin foil hat wearing douche

[@U-TubeAddict]

You’d be surprised. Ohtani is a kid at heart. All he knows is baseball; he’s not exactly the most street smart person imo

[@sonoichi6415]

Read the published document dude

[@omgbygollywow]

I worked in the Trust industry (managing assets for estates, wealthy people, and even corporate pension funds, etc.) for 20 years. There is a lot of embezzlement that goes on. The companies that are victims usually try to hush things up and hide as much from the media as possible, as it is bad look to the public. In cases where a large group of people are working for a wealthy person or corporation, there is a lot of cracks and holes which people can exploit. It's called diffusion of responsibility and the bystander effect. In today's world, everyone's job is so specialized and narrow that people know only their own job functions and tasks and are blind to the bigger picture or what others may be doing. Often, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Lots of opportunities for malfeasance. Dane Cook was embezzled by his own brother out of $12 million dollars over a period of 10 years. Dane Cook said he didn't pay much attention to his accounts and the only way it was caught was that he hired a new manager, and the new manager found out about the crime. For Dane Cook, it was not about English or interpretation, it was about trusting someone too much. Wealthy people are often too busy and delegate things to others.

I wanna see the evidence ..

[@213kilacali]

Who the heck are you? Lol

[@ericjeller]

hey authorities this guy needs to see the evidence okay!? i know you went over it all in the press conference, ad nauseam, repeatedly, in three languages, but can you also send it over in document form so our preeminent base ball detective here can clear shohei-senshu’s name? thanks!

[@joeyfriends9081]

This speech is evidence.

[@fartkicker]

are you stupid? or just want Ohtani to be guilty?

[@Finedeserthouses]

Type 37-page complaint then you can pretty much access to the entire page that includes critical evidence including text messages.😂
