Ippei Mizuhara, the ex-interpreter for Shohei Ohtani, pretended to be the Dodgers superstar in a call to a bank as he attempted to get a $200,000 wire transfer cleared from one of the ballplayer\u2019s accounts, new audio revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Athletic released an audio clip from the Justice Department that had been referenced in a court filing in which federal prosecutors recommended Mizuhara be sentenced to nearly five years in prison and pay restitution.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mizuhara pled guilty to charges of bank fraud and filing a false tax return after he had stolen roughly $17 million from Ohtani to cover gambling debts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The audio recording had been obtained from the bank and showed how Mizuhara had gotten around the bank\u2019s security measures by having Ohtani\u2019s bank information routed to Mizuhara\u2019s email and phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The clip begins with the person asking who they are speaking with, to which Mizuhara replies, \u201cShohei Ohtani.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mizuhara went on to explain that he was having an issue logging onto the online banking system and after going through the security procedures, the bank agent informed the pretend Ohtani that the bank had noticed a \u201ctrend of fraud and scams\u201d which had put it on alert for online transactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The agent then proceeded to ask the reason for the transaction, to which Mizuhara replied that it was for a car loan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After telling the agent that the payee was \u201cmy friend,\u201d he tells the bank employee that he has met the friend in person \u201cmany times.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWill there be any future wires to your friend?\u201d the bank agent asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh, possibly,\u201d he responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Mizuhara will be sentenced on Feb. 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prosecutors are expecting Mizuhara to cite his addiction to gambling as the reason why he stole nearly $17 million from his former friend.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if defendant is addicted to gambling, it cannot fully explain defendant\u2019s conduct because defendant used the stolen funds for numerous personal expenses that had nothing to do with gambling,\u201d assistant U.S. attorney Jeff Mitchell wrote in a court filing viewed by The Athletic. \u201cUltimately, the government submits, the motivating factor behind defendant\u2019s crimes was not a gambling addiction but rather greed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
