Shohei Ohtani's ex-interpreter Ippei Mizuhara's scandal gets shocking new update
Exclusive: Audio reveals Ohtani’s former interpreter impersonating Dodgers star in call with bank
Federal prosecutors on Thursday disclosed a nearly four-minute audio recording which they said showed Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter convicted of defrauding Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, attempting to push through a $200,000 wire transfer from one of the player’s accounts.

The person on the tape tells the bank employee that he is Shohei Ohtani, then provides a phone number to the bank for authorization -- a number that prosecutors say belonged to Mizuhara.
Shohei Ohtani's 2024 was marked by winning a World Series, the NL MVP award, and starting a family with his wife, Mamiko Tanaka. Despite his monumenta
