Shohei Ohtani was signed by the Dodgers for a record-breaking deal, but his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, stole $17 million from him.

Ippei Mizuhara sentenced to 57 months in prison for defrauding Shohei Ohtani.

Ippei Mizuhara pleaded for leniency in sentencing after committing bank fraud against Shohei Ohtani, citing personal struggles and remorse for his actions.

Ippei Mizuhara impersonated Shohei Ohtani to fraudulently transfer $200,000, leading to legal actions against him for bank and tax fraud.

Mizuhara's involvement in illegal gambling led to his firing and a significant theft from Ohtani, culminating in a federal investigation.

Mizuhara's gambling scandal greatly affected Ohtani's season, but he was cleared of wrongdoing.
