Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani had an unforgettable 2024 season for several reasons. While the seven-year veteran reached new heights in his first season with the Dodgers, he experienced a disheartening betrayal off the field.

A nearly four-minute audio recording allegedly captured Ippei Mizuhara impersonating Ohtani as he attempted to transfer $200,000.

Mizuhara allegedly had already obtained access to Ohtani's bank accounts and changed security credentials to give himself entry. The person on the tape tells the bank employee that he is Shohei Ohtani, then provides a phone number to the bank for authorization -- a number that prosecutors say belonged to Mizuhara.

Federal prosecutors on Thursday disclosed a nearly four-minute audio recording which they said showed Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter convicted of defrauding Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, attempting to push through a $200,000 wire transfer from one of the player’s accounts.

According to a new report, prosecutors asked for a nearly five-year sentence and $18.1 million in restitution in the case of Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter.
