Shock recording emerges of Shohei Ohtani's ex-interpreter 'impersonating MLB star to make $200k transfer' A four-minute audio recording allegedly captures Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara impersonating the baseball star to secure a $200,000 wire transfer.
The astonishing recording referenced in a court filing is being used to back up prosecutors' push for a sentence of almost five years for Mizuhara, who previously pleaded guilty to bank and tax fraud for stealing close to $17million from the LA Dodgers sensation.
Mizuhara is due to be sentenced February 6 after pleading guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of subscribing to a false tax return.
Ippei Mizuhara is facing almost five years in prison for stealing close to $17m from Ohtani.
