Mizuhara's gambling habit rubbed off on Shohei as they spent a lot of time together. They both enjoyed gambling together, and Shohei provided the funds. There is no way Shohei was completely ignorant of his finances. Their stories keep changing because they are doing an awful job at damage control and trying to protect Shohei's career.

The Washington Post published a feature article on Mr. Bowyer's identity. Although he declined to be interviewed in person, they succeeded in eliciting valuable comments from his lawyer, Diane Bess. Beth acknowledged that Bowyer is a bookmaker, and commented, "He has never spoken to Ohtani, never met him, never emailed him, and the only person he had in contact with was Ippei." It is said that Ohtani's name was found in the bank's remittance records, but only Mizuhara was involved in the bet, and she asserted that "there is not a single athlete among Mr. Bowyer's customers in the first place." When asked why Bowyer let a professional interpreter with an annual income of only six figures swim to such a high level of debt, she replied, "Why? Because he's Ohtani's best friend." On the other hand, she said that he "does not know" the face value of the debt that Mr. Mizuhara has. Beth described Mizuhara as an "addictive gambler." Speaking to federal prosecutors investigating Bowyer, she said, "I got an inquiry from ESPN in January this year, and I called them (federal prosecutors), and I told them about Ohtani's involvement, but they didn't show any interest." It's very clear that from the very beginning, Bowyer's target was Ohtani. Ippei was simply a bait.

Ohtani clearly was gambling. There is no way a bookie would extend millions in credit to an interpreter, and there is no way an interpreter employed by the Dodgers would be able to initiate millions in wire transfers from Ohtani's bank account. That cover story is absolutely ridiculous.

There is a federal investigation into the bookie and otani's name came up when investigating bank records.

Apparently the bets were on European soccer games and soccer is big in Japan meaning Ohtani could have been interested.

Ohtani has a huge team of financial experts, assistants and support staff so it's easy for the left hand to not know what the right hand is doing. I worked in the Trust industry (managing wealthy individual's assets and employee benefit plans and corporate and government retirement funds, etc.) for 20 years and let me tell you, we were often understaffed, overworked, and each person was specialized, knowing their own particular job functions well but not knowing what other people's jobs were in detail. There was a lady officer in our company who had been embezzling money for years from one of her wealthy clients and the only way it was caught was that she went on a vacation and there just happened to be an audit while she was away and that is when the auditors found out; otherwise they would have never discovered the crime. When a lot of people are involved in an operation or organization, it is easy to not question every transaction and just assume someone else is monitoring things. It's called the "bystander effect" or "diffusion of responsbility" phenomenon. Kind of like the incident when Kitty Genovese was raped and killed in NYC and many people in the apartment building heard her cries for help as it was being committed but assumed someone was going to call the police or help her, so no one did anything.

I frequently lament that Samson should be fired into the sun but the Ohtani story is one of his better uses. If he were on a dozen times a year instead of a dozen times a month, that'd be about the right dosage.
