1. How did he have access to Shohei's funds?

2. "Millions of dollars." Does Ippei make that much?

Me thinks there's a LOT more to this...

$100 says it's Ohtani and they're throwing Ippei under the bus as a scapegoat. 

Is Ippei placing bets with you too?

anyone know/remember who hired Ippei?

Was it Ohtani or the Angels.

If it was the Angels, that’s another black mark on Billy Eppler.

Yeah, that and the fact that this all happened while he was on the Angels. That’s not really the org’s fault, but of course this happened then.

How the fuck did Ippei have access to “millions” of Ohtani’s money without Shohei knowing? This is fucking weird.

This thing with Ippei didn't happen in S. Korea.

The Korean Mafia families don't cross borders.... Got it!

The article referred to a man in Orange County.

If this ends up getting Ohtani banned from baseball I think I'll nut through my roof. 

Also imagine Arte knew about it.

This is so cool.  Hell yes

Well if Shohei mysteriously takes a year off to attempt a basketball career we’ll know what’s really up, and he’s just pulling an MJ

What if Ippie was putting bets for Ohtani?...

And Ippie was betting on baseball? IF they were business partners?

[UndertheHalo]

Ippei is basically like Stevie from Eastbound and down.  Theres no way he’s not taking the fall for Shohei.

Lawyers for Ohtani made that claim after The Times learned that Ohtani’s name had surfaced in the investigation of Mathew Bowyer, an Orange County resident.

Jose Mota interviewing Shoehei as a Dodger feels like such a slap in the face somehow haha 

[ScottM]

Fun fact: Shohei's attornies went after me for some journalism I did (unrelated to Shohei)... they are vicious and represent some really bad dudes (Prince Andrew, Armie Hammer, etc)
