Sounds like Ohtani is involved in a huge gambling scandal

[MadJack]

His interpreter has been fired. Sounds like Ohtani covered his interpreter's sports gambling losses to the tune of over $4 million. Maybe he doesn't know anything about it and was ripped off? Investigation in progress.

Ohtani's interpreter fired, 'massive theft' alleged

The interpreter for the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani was fired Wednesday after questions surrounding at least $4.5 million in wire transfers sent from Ohtani's bank account to a bookmaking operation set off a series of events.

Sounds fishy.

I had no idea about all that shit at the end of the story, with Nix and the casino guys. There must be tons of athletes that do this shit!

The story keeps changing. They'll figure it out.

Too bad he wasn't posting picks here would have been a good fade. Wire to Wire losers Hammer Time

Who does Shohei Ohtani like today 🤔

 

[Slumdog]

He was definitely playing. If he wasn’t, then his interpreter is facing 20 years in prison for theft. No one stays silent when facing that much time. But we all know ohtani will not get the Pete Rose treatment. We all know

He has also hired the same crisis PR firm as Alec Baldwin, Weinstein and Hillary Clinton.

Law firm has represented Danny Masterson, Prince Andrew, Armie Hammer etc.

Just don't think these are the people you hire when you didn't do it.

MLB will bury it.

 

[Slumdog]

I agree.

And It if he was a white player. He would have been on thr first plane out of here banished for life.

Look at Trevor bauer incident. Guilty until proven innocent. Not defending that freak. But it took two years to clear his name.

Fuck Pete Rose. He had YEARS to come clean, and didn't. He held on to his lies far too long. If Ohtani did anything, there will be a paper trail. As I said earlier, with the amount of legal gambling going on now, you will have dozens, if not hundreds of athletes gambling in the future.

 

[Slumdog]

There is a paper trail. It’s from his checking account to the illegal bookie. Except he is saying the interpreter had access to it. Lol. Suuuuure. I’m gonna give my interpreter access to my checking account with millions of dollars in it. And I never check the balance/activity either. Mhmm

He’s too precious to the international brand. Nothing will happen

 

[Wineguy]

I am betting there are hundreds of athletes through the years that have had a wager in some form or fashion through some relative. Especially back when there was no electronic tracking and all with locals. Pete Rose deserves the Hall of Fame, period, don't care what anyone here thinks. But yes this will get swept. No doubt.

The guy doesn't speak English. It's very possible he trusted his interpreter to "run" things for him. I give a shit either way. I'll wait for it to all shake out.
