Additional details emerged from the ongoing investigation into the gambling activities of Ippei Mizuhara, who is the former interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Tisha Thompson of ESPN reported on the situation Tuesday and noted Mizuhara funneled money allegedly stolen from Ohtani's bank account through casinos in California and Las Vegas to pay his bookie.
A series of $500,000 payments were funneled to the casinos, where they were then deposited in gambling accounts, converted to chips and eventually cashed out to pay Mathew Bowyer, who took Mizuhara's bets.
According to Thompson, Bowyer lost $7.
