Gibswim sucking like usual. He'll probably go on the IR again with a phantom injury.

And again, the old guys first out on the PP. Looking as inept as ever.

My god. Why is the old group the first PP?

So Ahlers not only says that the second shift of Silfverberg was the first. But he rambles on as he puts a shot on goal.

Gibswim starting. Tells you something when he starts against Calgary and not Los Angeles in a back to back.

There is a lot of things we don't know yet. Maybe the federal probe already said that they will work on getting whatever back that they can, which the feds usually do in cases of Fraud? And it's not like Ippei is a rich guy where you have any chance of getting any of it back in future salary. In any case, maybe Ohtani still wouldn't want to file a civil case. Hopefully his advisors are finally advising him. Right now, he is a victim of massive fraud. If you file the civil case, a lot of details will come out, and in a civil trial, Ohtani may have to take the stand saying how he knew nothing. Image wise, is it better to go to court and take the stand and come out and say you are and idoit and too trusting and naive, or better off letting the feds do their thing, and just be known that you were a victim. I'd say, image wise, right now, with the fed clearing him, he's probably in the best marketing situation. Dragging it on for Ohtani, probably is not in his best interest. Because you never know what kind of skeleton gets dragged out.

Also, according to the documents by the FBI, while it centered around the illegal bookmaker. The documents also showed that Ippei had accounts in legal bookmakers in Bet MGM, Draftkings, Fanduel, etc. And while he didn't bet baseball with the illegal bookmaker, I'm wondering what he did bet on with the legal bookmakers. The smell test still doesn't come out right, that Ippei had a moral compass when it came to baseball, and yet steals tens of millions? Part of a degenerate gambler is that they take advantage of every opportunity. And since he has very inside information with baseball, it just doesn't make any sense that a degen would not take advantage of that. MLB will be quick to shut the case, because those legal bookmakers are big money for the sports leagues. But that could be the future bombshell that may come out, probably on the book tour tell all confessional.

I'm disappointed in you. What you should take out of this is, FBI says there is nothing to see. MLB is like, see nothing to see, we can move on. Pasadena PD says there is nothing to see. MLB is like, no, he's guilty and we are going to ban him for life even after our investigation turns up nothing.

Man, that might be more action than a Vegas casino sees.

The feds didn't announce it. It was found by the LA Times that they were investigating Ippei and Shohei. That's when Ippei said Shohei let him borrow the money, and then when the lawyers suddenly said that Ippei stole Shohei's money.

3 weeks since the news broke. It's been an ongoing federal investigation for a while. That Ippei is pleading guilty speeds it up, because you don't need to be methodical dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's and making sure you case is airtight, if he's pleading guilty. This case has nothing to do with the MLB. And as far as I know, MLB has not said that it's investigation is closing because Ippei is pleading guilty. In a way, this may actually help the MLB, because now Ippei may cooperate with their investigation, now that the fear of anything he says might be used by the feds threat is over.

Ippei probably isn't the main focus of the investigation. They are probably going after the bookie, and any other criminal connection the bookie has, like mob, or nationwide ring. More than likely, Ippei is pleading guilty to turn rat on the bookie, and in return receive a light slap on the wrist. Especially if Shohei doesn't press charges, which I don't know if he has or hasn't. This is like the Varisity Blues case. Those that pleaded early and helped the fed case got far lighter sentences. Those that fought it got it worse. But really they were going after the higher ups, organizers and facilitators. The celebrities, while they got the spotlight, were just the bonus for the real case.

Anyone have any idea what this might be? My buddy filmed it in Joshua Tree last night. https://www.facebook.com/reel/293731280427015
