I thought Ohtani said 10x more than I expected. He stated that he never made any bets and that his interpretor stole the money without his authorization. Its unlikely his lawyers would have allowed him to make these statements if they aren't true.
Can't still figure any scenario where someone would need to give authorization to anyone to steal their money.
@@lancelotdulacful 👍
@@lancelotdulacfulIppei was more like a personal assistant than just an interpreter. Ippei probably opened the accounts for Ohtani to begin with. To me, it’s not a stretch to believe that Ippei was able to write checks, draft wire transfers, make house payments, etc. on those accounts. From there, it’s easy to presume that Ippei stole the money without Ohtani realizing what was happening.
It is ironic they show “BET MGM” banner all through Shohei talks.
It’s not ironic at all. Shohei is an active player. Foul Territory is a podcast that covers baseball. One party can affect the outcome of games, the other cannot. There’s no hypocrisy, there’s no irony.
thank you@@merman9200 that prior take/comment is so tired for clicks. We're allowed to have ads and we're also allowed to bet on games and we do. it's really nbd

My wife is Japanese, from Japan. She told me a couple of days ago that she had read in the Japanese news that Ohtani has mulltiple bank accounts, including on set up to fund all of his charity work, and that Ippei had access to and managed that account, including check-writing privileges for that account, etc. I'm sure that this will all come out. Ken and the rest need a good Japanese friend to help read such news before they go speculating about Ohtani or any or JP player.
I agree thank you.
That is a lot of flipping money
would you be able to send the source of that news report from Japan mentioning that info? idk if youtube allows links but if you can’t send the link, the paper and article title would prob work
Ippei had power of attorney and full privilege to that account, just like a caretaker. When you are rich and famous, the banks will make those exceptions.
My wife is Japanese too and we live in Japan… and I’ll just pushback and say that the media is not exactly entirely trustworthy here… lots of coverups
From sports commentators to detectives. Lol
Choosing the "Great Inning killers" Mateo, Urias, and Nevin for 40man over Holiday, Stowers, and Mayo makes NO DAMN SENSE!
AJ Pierzynski still has a long time before he's more of a commentator than player.
Listening to baseball guys try and report on off field stuff other then baseball is rough. Go listen to Trev or watch an episode of Entourage if you don't understand that rich people (especially super rich athletes and actors) don't pay their own bills and to quote Trevor Plouffe "They just have a guy for that"
Hasn’t anybody ever heard of POA?
Apparently not. People have no idea how rich people deal with their wealth.
Not sure how much Ohtani has in total cash, but he makes 50 million a year in Ads. When you have that big amount of cash, 4.5 million wont be that noticeable compared to someone who only has 10 million.
This doesn't include all the money he's been making since he became a professional baseball player at 18 years old.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The vitriol coming out against Ohtani is sad to me. I get the Dodgers haters getting their licks in, but he's already guilty in so many eyes.
It's terrible.
They’re so mad. I kind of feel bad for them. It’s pathetic, really. They think about the Dodgers more than their own team. Then they pinned their hopes on conspiracy theories, only to watch it fall apart right in front of their eyes. Ippei lying about his education, career, admitting to lying, etc. They’re big mad now.
fanboys in denial lol!!!
The MLB did it to themselves by being so puritanical when it came to Pete Rose
I could care less about the dodgers. But he either has done something very sketchy or at the least is a complete moron.
Watch for former Dodger Michael Busch as ROY. He hit 25 HR and 90 RBI in AAA.
He’s about to pop off !!
No one cares
Equally important, and I think a more obvious and more glaring question is; how does a low, 6 figure salary interpreter get extended $4.5 million in credit with a professional bookie, or with anyone else, in any other situation on the planet unless there is a known backer for the debtor that can meet the debt obligation? Ohtani is guilty has hell and everyone in baseball is in denial.
Every crowd in an opposing city is going to be on him mercilessly
This is a group of decent people.
What you have to understand is that when Shohei moved to the US for the first year, he didn’t have any English capability. That means for establishing any bank account he needed Ippei’s help, and for buying all the daily things, he needed the Ippei’s help. Thus, Ippei had plenty of occasions to know the ID’s and Passwords of the bank accounts, for Man tends to use the same password for different bank accounts, and at least some of the accounts for purchase of daily materials, Shohei must have let Ippei to use it, as daily necessities.
Information is always conveyed through language and if an interpreter always between Shohei and the rest of the world, there is no wonder if Ippei had come to know where the shohei’s bank accounts are and could guess their password(s)!
All the time to never learn English. The easiest language to learn 😅😂
Anybody that Rich has a Financial Manager to control that stuff, Not a Translator,, that’s B.S. ,, he’s involved
I'll Ohtani speaks better English than most of us.😎🤓
Shohei should sue the media
😂😂😂😂😂
If Ippei had access to his personal devices or his home, is it that hard to get his banking info? Even if he had authorized access to the account, I guess I don't find that overly strange, considering his position as far more than a translator. Kinda dumb on Shohei's part maybe, but it's not something I'd find shocking.
Also, I think the closer you are to someone, the more likely you are to NOT notice strange/sketch things. People get cheated on all the time without having any idea, for example. I think we subconsciously assume the best of people close to us.
I have no idea what the outcome will be, but I tend to believe Shohei, at this moment. I don't find the story as far fetched as others seem to. What do I know though. 🤷🏼
And apparently some fans noticed that ohtani started carrying his phone in his pocket to the field now (after he returned from Korea), which he never did before… maybe a subtle sign of what happened and he is being more careful
@@kellyqiu8791 interesting 🤔
Ken is protecting his access
There was zero chance he will move an inch out of line. He will only report what is known.
Some many question. 2
In addition to Urias and Mateo, the Orioles just signed Tony Kemp to a major league deal and cut Maton. They're starting the year off with these three and no Holliday, Mayo or Norby. How about cutting Maton in favor of Holliday instead of Tony Kemp...
I want to like this channel but AJ just drags down every second.
2:42
AJ continuing being a POS well after his career has ended
Ohtani generates more revenue than a lot of companies. And how often do we hear of an employee who embezzled millions from a company and ownership or a CEO did not know until they got caught? But let the investigations play out and see what comes out of it. I'm very disappointed in the jump to conclusions and make accusations society we live in.
Have you guys heard of a poa? Not that difficult my goodness. Look it up. This shit happens all the time. And ippei admitted it in the hotel
Some fans will be brutal. Can't wait for the "CHEATER" signs....
Making a “Bookie Betts” and “Ippei Forced to Harakiri for Ohtani”
I'm curious if/when Shohei files a police report and presses charges against Ippei. Since obviously he's not lying to avoid criminal and MLB penalties against himself.
Shohei’s party filed a police report on when Shohei found out what Ippei has been doing.
Shohei told you: he trusted Ippei Mitzuhara. Mitzuhara ingratiated himself to Ohtani when Ohtani was a teenager by lying about his credentials because Mitzuhara never went to UCR, he never worked for Boston or NY Yankees. You might say they should have vetted him better, and that is true but that happened in Japan. They probably relied more on their personal contact with him. Then once they got here, Mitzuhara totally isolated Ohtani. Mitzuhara controlled Ohtani's every communication with anyone, even with his own business reps. Damn shame he was a crook/gambling addict.
Choosing " the Great Inning killers" Mateo, Urias, and Nevin over Holiday Stowers and Mayo is PURE STUPIDITY!!!
Excuse me sir who the hell is we?
I see lies can explain to Feds we will see 🤨
He looked nervous as F lol
Ohtani cannot say anything while a criminal case is being investigated.
Assistant stolen money from their rich boss is more common than you think. And Ippei is like that to shohei, he's not only interpreter. He handling his business everyday.😂
When I worked as an interpreter, I had to assist the players on just about every aspect of their daily lives. These include: opening bank accounts, taking them to DMV to get licenses, and setting up utilities. I also carried their check books on the road for clubhouse dues.
Those who know his upbringing and personality know that he is an honest person.
Ohtani is completely innocent👍
Yup. When I worked as an assistant to a company COO, I had access to all her accounts. It’s why they do background checks. It’s a shame the Angels and Dodgers didn’t do one.
First statement form Ken Rosenthal "There are still a lot of answers that I and a lot of other people would like to see answered..." Too bad, you guys are not entitled to answers! This is a guy who dealt with every conversation with Othani. All he had to say is "Othani said this..."
He’s one of the most recognized baseball writers in the country. The integrity of the sport with its biggest superstar is in question, and possibly jeopardized. He’s entitled to answers. As are all baseball fans.
The investigators are entitled to answers. MLB might sweep it under the rug, but wiring to an illegal bookie is well... illegal. Ohtani WILL have to answer those questions.
It will only become a distraction if the Dodgers are losing and Shohei is not performing. But, on the contrary if Shohei is hitting home runs and the Dodgers are killing it, then not so much or much less so.
Babe Ruth got busted for gambling too. There's a letter he wrote you can find online. Plus wasn't Ohtani at a poker game ? Well if he was he was betting in SD at a poker game . Was that legal ?
It was Ippei who was at the poker game with other Angels players. They asked Ohtani, but he said he wasn’t interested. BTW, gambling is legal if played at the Indian Casinos in CA.
On MLB network someone said think Brian Kenny that Shohei and Ippei were seen laughing and joking with eachother recently Sure , That’s what Anybody would do With Someone who Stole 4.5 Million of Your Money and Threatened your image!!
little Pete 🎰
I don't care if Ohtani did it or not. What matters is that the truth will never see the light of day because MLB and the richest organization in MLB cannot allow it to destroy their branding considering the investment they have in Ohtani over the next ten years.
Yeah but the FBI and IRS are investigating
Bro the federal government is investigating. Whether the MLB wants it or not, the truth is coming out.
It's not the betting that bothers me . I just feel lying here. There's absolutely 💯 the bank would not communicate with Ohtani if a payment that size was happening. Ask the Bank !!
First place they went. Ippe has control of the charity account including check writing. Read Japanese.
@MountainFisher but it was a wire not a check . And a bank would still call ohtani to make sure it isn't fraud. That's just how banks work . I don't believe it and I believe the Dodgers will pay whatever they have to to make this go away. Just my opinion
Blackballed from Manfred cronies....wish an owner would stand up and say we need a proven pitcher for league minimum. Manfred was butt hurt with Bauers' blog when he was pitching.
Well, if I was in trouble, and in court, I would love to have Ken for a judge. I can’t believe how lenient he’s been in his approach with Ohtani
When does the FBI get involved in a fraud case?
The FBI may become involved in financial crimes, such as mail, mortgage, and wire fraud, when larger sums of money are involved or when affected institutions are federally insured. Most crimes fall on state or local authorities. However, the FBI will become involved in politically motivated or severe cases.
Aj is still a jerk and has no personality and played like a C plus calibre player
Guys it’s caused we poor…and we worry about money way too much…rich people are rich for a reason…they don’t think about money…they be shitting in the restroom and still getting paid millions. I’m sure the last thing ohtanis is worried about before going to bed is money. Haha
Sounds like you're about to cry I'm sorry what's the problem no story?
This sent the WRONG message to Holiday and their belief in his skills. Wouldn't surprise me if Holiday never signs with the O's! Pure Stupidity by Elias and Hyde!
🎰
He just threw his friend under the bus to cover up for his gambling habits... I'm sorry, but there's no way Ohtani is a saint.
Guilty
I’m just confused as to why Ohtani changed his original statement, first it was stated that Ohtani paid his debts then a total 180 to He stole money from me. That’s the part that’s confusing, unless the first story that came out wasn’t credible. Just have to wait and see.
He didn't change his original statement. This is the first time he directly talks about it. The other announcements were made by other people "on behalff" of Ohtani just like Ippei would speak "on behalf" of Ohtani. Every wants to hate on Ohtani and don't even understand the guy doesn't understand English super well. Bunch of haters.
Shohei hasn't changed any statement. This press conference is Ohtani's one and only statement. The statements you're referring to were from Ippei, who had an initial story, then changed it when Shohei's attorneys got involved. That's when the allegations of theft came up.
People are so dense - do you even listen and pay attention to legit news that are already out. It appears not. One more time - Ippei’s story to ESPN is a lie, he admitted to ESPN later. All these things happen within 24 hours in Korea. Ohtani was being lied to along with Dodgers by Ippei. It’s incredible how some people just searching and hoping for a story that is not there. Smh.
Imagine you are a pro athlete. You got a contract with a Japanese team. You move to Tokyo, open a bank account, get a cell phone contract, open a credit card account, set up rent payment, pay utilities, buy a car, get an insurance, and etc. do you think you can do this in the language you don't know? When you have to deal with these things, Ippei wouldn't have bothered to get one time code from Shohei for online banking.
It seems to me like the media is pecking on the flesh of the maybe seems to me that your integrity needs to be checked so why don't you just get a life bruh
The sports media needs to stop acting ignorant. Everyone with a brain knows Ohtani didn't do anything wrong. Stop appeasing conspiracy theorists and racist haters.
Don't believe a word Ohtani and his people say. They're trying to rescue his career. They know he was gambling and paid Ippei's debt. This story is too weird. And Ohtani knows English. Mike Trout said a few years ago that Ohtani already mastered English. He doesn't need a translator.
Folk DO NOT UNDERSTAND illegal bookmakers. BOOKMAKERS want gamblers to get into debt, even 4.5 million in debt such as Ippei who is close to Shohei.
Reason:
#1: Ippei has insider knowledge about baseball and can give insider information.
#2: Ippei can get desperate and take money from Shohei, i.e. embezzlement.
The bookmaker even said, he never spoke to Shohei, but he let people believe Shohei was his client to boost his business.
fascinating that all this is taking place at the same time the wonderful tv series shogun is being shown. watching the series, it becomes obvious that the japanese sense of integrity is so very different from the western, even in 2024. losing face is still the primo bad, and causing someone above you to lose face is the worst aspect of this. whichever stance ultimately prevails as 'truth', will ippei fall on his sword for failing his lord?
Why don't we ask your wife what happened last night and see if you're guilty of anything or did you lie? Or did she lie?
Anything is plausible. It’s plausible he’s lying. Rich ppl get scammed by their ACCOUNTANTS people who are in control of their finances. Not the HELP. DUDE is the interpreter.
This dog and pony show just threw gasoline on this.
i'm giving ohtani benefit of doubt...he's been honest & transparent throughout his career...where-as ippei has been lying about too many things throughout his career...including the school he attended
Ohtani literally said he doesn't ever monitor his own bank accounts. And his mom manages his money in Japan. He could care less how much he has and is telling the truth.
Otani had to be aware of the money transfer just had to look at his account
The story they're presenting is plausible?? Uh, no Ken.
I forgot the Rangers won the World Series.
Bauer hasn't faced major leaguers in over 2 years
I'm sorry and you are God who?
Didn't the reporter say she saw with her own eyes Shohei's signature on 2x $500.000 checks? Why is Shohei signing massive checks to the interpreter?
It was wires not checks
@@jxhide I heard her say checks, she saw the checks with Shohei's signature and used the word checks...IDK the story changes too much...
Here's what's known we believe in God this man was sent to God to the dodgers to bring that City together that's what we believe ESPN needs to go and get a life
We got absolutely nothing from that self centered liar
Shohei is only interested in baseball but not in money. When he was in Japan, his parents managed his money, and he didn't know how much he had in his bank account. In the U.S., Ippei was taking care of Shohei like a baby. Ohtani is not interested in money, and that's why he gave up his high income in Japan and went to the States to play baseball at a higher level. Besides, his English is not good enough to understand anything complicated, although he can handle simple daily conversations.
I wouldn’t notice $25 missing from my account. I’d imagine, with his amount, $1M is similar lol
only the dodgers and the mlb believe on him
You guys are late! July 22, 2022, a bet of $1,000,000 was placed for the Atlanta Braves to score over 6.5 runs against the Los Angeles Angels parlayed with Braves -3.5. The bet was placed with a bookie in Mizusawa (Shohei's home town). The pitcher for the Angels that day? Shohei Ohtani. The stats for Shohei that day were as followed, 6.1 IP, 6 H, 6
ER and 1 BB. At the plate you ask? 0-3 with 2 strike outs. Shohei is done!

and if indeed Ippei was a gambling addict, there are lots of things he will do to get funds and cover up.
People dont understand gambling addicts' minds
What a sense of entitlement these reporters have. No one owes anyone an explanation. If a law was broken, then the law will address it. Other than that, if nobody’s business. And if you need that kind of news to drum up, interest in what you do for a living, you are a sad person with a sad job.
If ohtani were black 😂😅
Ohtani Is Lying
Ken is so desperately to find something from nothing, these dudes are not even giving Ohtani the better benefit of doubt, instead give to an admitted liar, degenerate gambler, and fraudster(Ippei). Ken is still bitter about Ohtani’s free agency decision. Sad. These guys have a hard-on for nailing Ohtani and killing baseball it appears. These guys are so desperate for a non story. I’ll keep receipts 🧾 for this clown show. Hope Ohtani NEVER give this 🤡 show a chance in near future. Pathetic. Was a fan!
Off course he’s gonna deny it’s obvious, its like the nba fraud of being lebron the goat
