Hold On!! Ohtani’s Interpreter Ippei Mizuhara Stole HOW MUCH from Shohei?!?!? | The Rich Eisen Show 

Ohtani is innocent and victim who was betrayed by his friend. He does not need any more crap from stupid media. Apologize to Ohtani or delete photo of your son and Ohtani!

Apologize Rich, you are completely in the wrong on this.

What’s so hard about saying “I was wrong “ & “I’m sorry “

Come on Rich.... So much focus on the $16mil that you forgot to say a single "sorry" word for all the attempts to put dirt on Ohtani during these past 3 weeks??? Ohh, well I guess its easier to just try and paint Ohtani as a dumb guy for not knowing that his account was manipulated and not noticing the loss, but maybe that is actually a really good example to all of us tha we should not be so obsessed with money. I'm sure Ohtani will be a lot more carefull with his finance moving fwd, but also sure he will not become like most people money oriented and will continue enjoing his life as really cool and successfull ultra hard workig person! And you the media guys in general really could try to grow up a bit on his example... uff

A lot of people including Rich need to apologize to Ohtani

The media and haters that falsely accused Ohtani and spread lies are not gonna apologize or acknowledge this. We all have that person in our daily lives at work, school, “family/friends”, acquaintances that are too prideful and narrow minded to ever admit that they were wrong.

Rich, you owe Ohtani an apology. Be a man and take the L.

.Ohtani has been subjected to media harassment every day.American media didn't believe him.Apologize to him and the fans.

I lost respect for this Rich guy. Not cool at all.

Mr. Eisen. you had shown the world what kind of person you are.

Lost a lot of respect for you Rich, you should at the very least walk back that conspiracy crap you spouted earlier.

Rich has really been showing his true colors lately

I respect your work Mr Eisen, but I agree with a lot of listeners/viewers, Ohtani needs an apology from a lot of folks who jumped the gun to accuse Ohtani.

Feds: we have video evidence of Ippei committing bank fraud Rich: bUT i StiLl hAv3 qUesHtiONZ!!1!

There is no need for the victim, Mr. Ohtani, to suffer any more damage from shallow media.

Is Rich Eisen so resentful, Shohei didn’t want to go to New York? Does he think FBI, IRS and HSI are also corrupt? Including the District Attorneys office? Don’t insult these government office’s credibility thinking they would care about a baseball player, who isn’t even a citizen! The level of negativity and wanting to see a Dodger player go down is so grave that these people shouldn’t even be called sports analysts!

If you knew how little money Ohtani used daily in Japan, you can understand that he doesn’t keep track of his money as closely the others do. He even returned his allowances for school trips if he had any left over money. Would you have done that? I would say “no; other people would not return the left over allowance money. If you hear his parents talk about Ohtani, you will understand him better and say that Ohtani would only say the “TRUTH”.

Isn't it ironic that some people trust a gambler over a person who has consistently demonstrated discipline in their craft? Even the fact that he deferred $680 million of his contract fails to convince you that he doesn't prioritize money 😂😂😂

This is a prime example of trash sports media. SMH

さっさと大谷さんに謝れ

Apologize now!!!!

The fact that there's ppl still clinging to their suspicions despite the thoroughness & scale of this investigation conducted by multiple organizations is a sign of the times.

Time to apologize bud.

You’d better apologize to Ohtani.

It‘s time to apologize,rich.

Where the apology?

Feel bad for Shohei to made time specifically to took picture with you and your son😢

Rich, apologize to Ohtani, man's name was cleared

APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY.

It's reported now the FBI have recordings of bank calls that IPPEI made with bank employees, and he was pretending to be Ohtani to the bank. Ippei also changed Ohtani's account to his name so he would not get statements and notices.

Rich Eisen, just listen to the DOJ press conference rather than continuously making foolish statements. Mizuhara set up Ohtani's team salary bank account and intentionally kept Ohtani's financial advisor from looking at the account. Ohtani has known Mizuhara since 2013, and was his de facto manager since 2018. When Ohtani won the AL ROY, he singularly thanked Mizuhara. Even for Ohtani, losing 16M must hurt, but the feeling of betrayal probably hurts more. Ontani was the victim here. Stop making fun of him.

Pretty gross that Rich is still strongly suggesting Shohei is not the victim but the perpetrator.

Sad day for Rich

You owe him an apology Rich.

The trolls and haters accussing him are actually the ones that gambles, bunch of loser's.

Now all the talking heads are walking back their statements that ohtani was complicit in the gambling. Pathetic!

Wow.. I didn’t know Rich would be so backhanded…L show

Where is the Ohtani apology???

Shohei does not mind Dodgers fans take advantage of the position of trust over Shohei, as he trusts them from the bottom of his heart. He has been having tough time recently, but never lost smiles on his face, thanks to those Dodgers fans who believe him. Thank you so much from Japan.

These people are making it sound like what Ippei did stealing money from Shohei is a shock. People got to understand it happens all the time. It happened in my bussiness were an employer whose also manager took out money from the campany to use on his expense. Forget the haters that comes on making assumptions, accusation and accusing him without facts, but the media are accusing him because it brings controversy and ratings to their show. Here's some of the clients and associates that robbed and stole money from athletes and celebrities - Tim Duncan was robbed $20 million dollars, John Elway lost $15 million, Kareem Abul Jabbar lost $9 million, Kevin Garnett lost $78 million, Usain Bolt lost $12 million, Robert DeNiro lost $88 million dollars, Elton John lost $29 million, Billy Joel $90 million ect......All by clients, associates and even close partners.

You can't be a two-way player unless you devote 24 hours to baseball. He's been doing that for over 10 years. He has more to do than count the balance in his bank account.

Ippeis looking at 30 years in a federal prison. There's not a fall guy on the planet willing to do that. Ippeis guilty.

Say it Rich, "No Best Dad Ever", APOLOGIZE to the GOAT!

As a guy that claims that he likes Ohtani…the way he presents things don’t seem like it!!

Apologize, old man

People are used to negativity, there are people who are humble, successful, talented people. They exists.

Who is more likely to have a gambling problem a baseball player who grew up in rural japan or a Translator who grew up in LA and lied about having a degree. language barrier and unfamiliarity leaves athletes vulnerable. How many American athletes have been conned by their own financial advisors. wheres the journalistic effort or integrity?

You were WRONG Rich !!!! Apology comming soon ???

Apología needed from you

@Rich continuing with his conspiracy theories and ..VICTIM blaming Ohtani. The only blame for Ohtani is his naivety but to victim blame Ohtani is hilarious. All the conspirac spewed earlier about how is translator is not CHARGED. That aged well for you @Rich. Again, no apology to Ohtani for continuing to spew nonsense and victim blame Ohtani. SMH. Sad.

Think of all the superstars who were ripped off by family members or confidants. The FBI clearly stated that Ohtani is innocent. Stop spewing more doubt for click bait and apologize.

Wow look at all these clowns saying he’s the “fall guy” they have no sense of reality. They are all prob voting in the election this yr too🤦‍♀️ we screwed😭

RICH EISEN, READ THE 37 PAGE FEDERAL REPORT

It’s quite believable Shohei hadn’t noticed 16 mil missing if you’ve followed him since he was 18. He was famous for not being interested in money at all, which is considered noble and stoic like “monk” in Japan. He was too naive and careless trusting and relying on Ippei too much? Probably yes, but most Japanese ppl don’t understand why conspiracy bs still exist.

This clown making money off ohtani with his bs

Yeah there's no way ohtani would bet 16 million of his own money, this is definitely bank fraud by someone who has access to his mail and email and information necessary to commit it. But 16 million is woweee, what a scumbag...

Are you going to acknowledge the new report Rich? The one that cements Ohtani’s innocence? Never mind you probably won’t…

Also..FACTS .. According to attorney General, the winning from his gambling was routed to an account owned by Ippei. Also recordings was obtain showing Ippei pretending to be Ohtani to authorize the large release. Somebody from the bank will be fired for sure.

As a Japanese when I studied in US long time ago I was told that if i had a car accident don’t say sorry even if it’s your fault that’s how you live in US

this guy is a clownn

rich asks in the end "I have questions.." how about reading the report first before reporting on it? maybe your "questions" would've been answered.. I usually like this guy, but shame on him and the rest of the speculators.. chomping at the bit for someone's life to be ruined for clicks..

They can come up with all the excuses they want...his reputation is still damaged and people will continue to feel he is guilty.

No apology?？？

He killed your son? What did he do to you? Max Mancy said where I come from you're innocent until proven guilty. How about you?

Sounds like money laundering. Ippei steals the money, makes bets on it, and he'll be guaranteed to win some while losing others. In this case, the stolen money is split with the bookie. The winnings don't go back into Ohtani's account. They are wired into Ippei's personal account.

ippei a literal confidence man. i don’t understand why that’s hard for these people to accept. this is a routine occurrence in the sports/media/entertainment world, which presumably this guy’s a part of…

ESPN APOLOGIZE and buy Porsche for Shohei.

There's rich and there's 16 million dollars missing from your bank account without noticing rich.

Why can't he apologize to Mr. Otani?

So basically Ippei helped Shohei set up his salary account from the Angels Ippei had account information and had the ability to make changes Ippei even sometimes pretended to be Shohei when the bank called Nobody in Shohei's team speaks japanese They commnicated with him through Ippei Everytime someone in the team raised questions, Ippei just said it was Shohei's business So people believe him considering how close he was with Shohei

Rich you are almost same as Pete Rose…

Not all on gambling. If anyone on the show did research, he bought baseball cards too for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is over 2+years Richie. The account doesnt go from 50 million to 34 million overnight. If one statement shows 36,342,132 and the next statement is 38,543,231 (after Mizuhara makes illegal transfers). Is Ohtani supposed to recognize it should really say 39,321,432??

American Bank. He basically was Ohtani’s American version. All he had to say is”yes Ohtani wants the money”. They have no need to listen to Ohtani speak Japanese to them if they’re American Bank workers. You build comfortability. And I can believe he didn’t check his Bank much idk….. BECAUSE HE’S A HUNDRED MILLIONAIRE!

Don't fall into Rich's gameplan, he is also trying to milk money out of the Ohtani situation.

Dude definitely didn't spend any on a barber

Ippei's a fool or was trapped by the syndicate. A win-win situation turned into probable long jail time, what a waste. Calling on RU-vid, DO NOT ENDORSE GAMBLING!!!!!

Which bank account did they come from?? Was it only one of his American bank accounts? This man does business in multiple spots in the world...all of his money isnt in just 1 account with 1 bank. If given permission to check Ohtani's bank records from Japan, would there be payments to bookies from over there? How does guy make that many bets and Ohtani not know something?

What’s the point in gambling if you can steal 16 million lol

Forget all charges it’s the IRS who will get him, and his bookies plus the Bookies where in California as was Ippei the California Tax Franchise Board is real scary Ippie and bookies are in trouble like crazy trouble

Rich, It's okay not to believe everything. Just believe in yourself. But please be respectful.

I understand how someone would think Ohtani is guilty in the first days of the scandal. But Ippei lost all his credibility when it was revealed that his resume was fake(faked having attended a college and having MLB interpreter experience)

Ippei about to Diddy outa here ✈🏝

Ohtani deserves apology from not only Ippei, but also people who fell for his lies and wrongfully accused him. Especially some American commentators who spread the conspiracy theory just because they wanted to see a successful individual fall or it makes sensational headlines. 大谷さんに土下座要求されても仕方ないレベル😂

名誉毀損にならないのかな？

How does he play baseball with gambling addiction? Ohtani is not only batter but also pitcher.

stop BS, and say sorry to him as he is not victim, be a man, Rich

holy moly !!!!! this changes sports wagering forever can you imagine the back channels of free gambling trails instantly this guy has left regardless of the losess apply correctly and legitimately super huge cash flow i see a movie 🎬 🎞 🎥

Most of it went to his hair stylist

Shocked, that Rich didn't question Ohtani.

I wish I was so rich that I didn't even notice 16 million missing from my bank account.

Incredible

He knew this ain't the 70's 80' 90' for your bank accounts you get alerts on your accounts if you don't find out why you don't even have to keep track of your money

What if they’re more than just friends/interpreter/biz partners..?

Ippei was trying to pay off his $40 plus million Losses

We live in Tokyo for 30 years and follow Ohtani. My Japanese wife thinks Ippei Mizuhara is actually of Korean decent. She thinks he is not Japanese at all. Mizuhara's wife is Korean and usually they end up taking Japanese names from their Korean immigrant relatives. Mizuhara lied about everything he did and even who he was.

Ohtani was reported to have made $100 Million in salary and endorsements last year and he isn't a Flashy spender of Money. So Ippei Mizuhara committed Bank Fraud, he knew how to set up the account and Ohtani trusted Ippei who took care of Shohei's shopping, Dry cleaning and Car maintenance. This has happened to many wealthy people when they trust their accountants. WOW $16 Million ! Kizuhara will have plenty of time to regret his gambling addiction, up to 30 Years in Prison !

Dude if I had even a quarter of 16M I would legit be happy for life and would not need any more than that. That being said, any amount of stealing is just bad. But stealing 16M is just plain overkill.

Ha wheres my $ 20 million gone I had $200 million last week in my Baseball Federal Checking account I know because I went to Coney Island on Vacation And I was Short What a Putz 😅😅😅😅😅😊

Where is your apology…

そろそろ大谷を返してくれ、見るに耐えられない 2:42
