The most annoying thing about the coverage of this situation is that so many people think it would be impossible for Shohei not to be aware of the situation. No body knows the truth yet, but like you pointed out there are dozens of ways he could have been in the dark and taken advantage of. Even if he approved of money transfers, it doesn't mean he knew it was going to a bookie.
@skalty98684 ай бұрын
Yeah he had a close relationship with Ippei, he easily could’ve assumed the money was going to something different and didn’t want to pry. He wouldn’t be the first guy taken advantage of
@trevorcarey39974 ай бұрын
Ohtani is a sports athlete, they leave that to their accountant, agent or a close associate, for Shohei it was Ippei, they knew each other since he was 19 years old (and when he came to the states he knew no one except Ippei and gave him complete trust) And player's making over hundred million dollars with money coming in and out, while he is toally focused on his game and training, no one will notice if that athlete loses a fraction or pocket change to what he is making.

@s3rye306 only broke people check their accounts every day, you're absolutely right. When you're talking this kind of money, there's one account his paychecks and sponsorships and everything like that comes into, and then it's going to get disbursed to other accounts that have different purposes. He might only look at his F around money account semi regularly. But the rest of that money is off doing work to be made into more money, or to a savings account.

My theory i subscribe to here is that Ippei asked Shohei to help cover some debts, but he either didnt specify what they were for or he lied. So Shohei covered them to help his friend, but didnt realize he was covering gambling debts. So not a traditional type of theft but still theft in the end

One thing that argues against Shohei having a gambling habit is the huge deferment of his contract money: if he loved betting, and was in the habit of betting in the tens of thousands or millions, he'd want to have more ready access to his massive money pile, one would think. Deferring such a massive portion of his contract suggests he knows he could live happily for the next decade with much less.

When playing for NPB, Shohei's mother put gave him a $1,000 a month budget, and at the end of the year, he still had money saved up. If he was a gambler, there is no way he would have been able to live off that budget. Also, when his Angels teammates went to the casino and invited him to go with them, he declined and told them that gambling is not good and asked them why they would waste their money like that. And this is the person that so many cynical people think Shohei is a gambling addict.

As frugal as Ohtani has been rumored to be in every story we heard before this. I find it incredibly difficult to believe he was gambling to the point of racking up that much debt. I really think the Dodgers or MLB spun the he stole it story to distane Ohtani from this as much as possible. I think it is entirely likely he was paying the debt off for the man just being a good friend helping the dude put of a really bad spot. We will find out the truth if he gets indicted for larceny form stealing the funds. If he isn't there is another story and MLB covered it.

Ohtani can’t be banned from MLB unless he bet on baseball. If he bet on other sports, which it’s been stated no bets were on baseball, he will receive, from MLB not CA gov, a fine/suspension. I heard via Effectively Wild the only instance of betting on OTHER sports by an MLB player was Jarred Cosart (?), the point is when he was caught he paid a penalty of some undisclosed amount and served no games suspended. With that prior precedent in place you think something similar would happen. The problem though is from CA law and the illegal bookmaker. That’s what will cause something to happen to Ohtani. You know, unless Ippei actually is the bestest friend ever and takes all the blame…
