The media and haters that falsely accused Ohtani and spread lies are not gonna apologize or acknowledge this. We all have that person in our daily lives at work, school, “family/friends”, acquaintances that are too prideful and narrow minded to ever admit that they were wrong.
We all don’t have family/friends that are too prideful to admit being wrong. That’s an assumption. Dealing with people who lack accountability is a choice.
Lmao 16 mil
Just went missing without him knowing?!?😂😂😂 . Your idol is a liar.
@@LambeauLeeeperthis 💯💯💯💯
For sure and these clowns will believe the spin@@LambeauLeeeper
@LambeauLeeeper you are full of crap. The IRS, homeland security, justice department, fbi thoroughly investigated it and proved you are wrong.
I respect your work Mr Eisen, but I agree with a lot of listeners/viewers, Ohtani needs an apology from a lot of folks who jumped the gun to accuse Ohtani.
Eisen isn't man enough to issue an apology.
What’s so hard about saying “I was wrong “ & “I’m sorry “
nah, it is only ippei taking a fall for ohtani. i'm like $16,000,000 is a lot of money. do you know how many bank transfers you got to do with $16 millions?? Ohtani is innocent is bs!!!
Ohtani is innocent and victim who was betrayed by his friend. He does not need any more crap from stupid media. Apologize to Ohtani or delete photo of your son and Ohtani!
Rich has really been showing his true colors lately
Bunch of Ohtani marketing bots on here.
A lot of people including Rich need to apologize to Ohtani
Come on Rich....
So much focus on the $16mil that you forgot to say a single "sorry" word for all the attempts to put dirt on Ohtani during these past 3 weeks???
Ohh, well I guess its easier to just try and paint Ohtani as a dumb guy for not knowing that his account was manipulated and not noticing the loss, but maybe that is actually a really good example to all of us tha we should not be so obsessed with money. I'm sure Ohtani will be a lot more carefull with his finance moving fwd, but also sure he will not become like most people money oriented and will continue enjoing his life as really cool and successfull ultra hard workig person!
And you the media guys in general really could try to grow up a bit on his example... uff
Feds: we have video evidence of Ippei committing bank fraud
Rich: bUT i StiLl hAv3 qUesHtiONZ!!1!
Isn't it ironic that some people trust a gambler over a person who has consistently demonstrated discipline in their craft? Even the fact that he deferred $680 million of his contract fails to convince you that he doesn't prioritize money 😂😂😂
Rich, apologize to Ohtani, man's name was cleared
He's not man enough to do that.
You owe him an apology Rich.
Where the apology?
Eisen isn't man enough to apology.
Feel bad for Shohei to made time specifically to took picture with you and your son😢
Rich, you owe Ohtani an apology. Be a man and take the L.
Nobody owes Ohtani a single thing.
@@jeremywooldridge5537 stay mad
Yeah, I agree
@@iquuee8132 Sounds like the Ohtani fanboys are the ones who are mad.
In a text to the bookie in the affadavit…
“Technically I did steal from him” -Ippie Mizuhara
Think about that statement for a second.
I’m not a detective or anything but…. On paper and texts, Mizuhara is guilty and Shohei isn’t.
.Ohtani has been subjected to media harassment every day.American media didn't believe him.Apologize to him and the fans.
If you knew how little money Ohtani used daily in Japan, you can understand that he doesn’t keep track of his money as closely the others do.
He even returned his allowances for school trips if he had any left over money.
Would you have done that?
I would say “no; other people would not return the left over allowance money.
If you hear his parents talk about Ohtani, you will understand him better and say that Ohtani would only say the “TRUTH”.
Yeah, even when he was a baseball player in Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan making millions, he gave all money to his mom and got only $1,000 allowance a month and he couldn’t spent all.
Apologize Rich, you are completely in the wrong on this.
Pretty gross that Rich is still strongly suggesting Shohei is not the victim but the perpetrator.
@markjohnson7488 haters are gonna hate.
Believe all women.
@@JesusEsDios007 And riders going to ride! 🤦
The translator will be a rich man when he’s free. He was totally fine with taking the blame.
@markjohnson7488You are not being human if you think that is absurd. And you know that. Crazy stuff happen all the time. You know how many people got scammed by a a simple telephone call. You do know that. Right? You do now more strange more crazy stuff happen on earth every day. You do know that. Yet, you just want to think this stroy unbelievable.
There is no need for the victim, Mr. Ohtani, to suffer any more damage from shallow media.
Where is the Ohtani apology???
Rich Eisen, just listen to the DOJ press conference rather than continuously making foolish statements. Mizuhara set up Ohtani's team salary bank account and intentionally kept Ohtani's financial advisor from looking at the account. Ohtani has known Mizuhara since 2013, and was his de facto manager since 2018. When Ohtani won the AL ROY, he singularly thanked Mizuhara. Even for Ohtani, losing 16M must hurt, but the feeling of betrayal probably hurts more. Ontani was the victim here. Stop making fun of him.
In Japan, Ohtani never managed his salary himself; he entrusted it all to his mother. When he came to the US, he continued this practice with Ippei, allowing him to manage all his earnings. Unfortunately, Ippei betrayed his trust.
it hurts...like brothers.
where is apologize? Rich Ohtani heighter Eisen!
Ha,ha 16 million for several years and he did not know. What kind of accountants he has? Idiots, I doubt it. Ohtani was betting!
@@guayames did you not even read the report? The accountants went through Ippei. smh
Mr. Eisen. you had shown the world what kind of person you are.
You’d better apologize to Ohtani.
It's reported now the FBI have recordings of bank calls that IPPEI made with bank employees, and he was pretending to be Ohtani to the bank. Ippei also changed Ohtani's account to his name so he would not get statements and notices.
So ohtani’s personal assistant talked to banks on his behalf. He could also gamble on ohtanis behalf.
@JJ-zr6fu he also made it that Ohtani wouldn't recieve notifications. He carefully planned it and stayed at Ohtani's side just to steal from him.
@@JJ-zr6fuit is common practice for Japanese players to give their assistants power of attorney to handle their finances. Ohtani was innocent and let his guard down because he was so trusting to the man he called his friend.
@@JJ-zr6futhe key word was pretending to be Ohtani, quite a distinction from talking for his behalf.
@JJ-zr6fu of course they looked at texts, calls & emails & confiscated all devices, including Shohei's. No evidence whatsoever was found of Shohei participating. But plenty of evidence proving Ippei was 100% behind this. That's crazy right?? Professional investigators who investigate for a living actually investigating??? From multiple organizations too?
The fact that there's ppl still clinging to their suspicions despite the thoroughness & scale of this investigation conducted by multiple organizations is a sign of the times.
It is. So unfortunate. We are such a cynical, skeptical society.
Time to apologize bud.
It‘s time to apologize,rich.
Is Rich Eisen so resentful, Shohei didn’t want to go to New York? Does he think FBI, IRS and HSI are also corrupt? Including the District Attorneys office? Don’t insult these government office’s credibility thinking they would care about a baseball player, who isn’t even a citizen!
The level of negativity and wanting to see a Dodger player go down is so grave that these people shouldn’t even be called sports analysts!
Oh no the FBI has never shown any form of corruption whatsoever they have morals paralleled to Marcus Aurelius himself
Apologize now!!!!
This is a prime example of trash sports media. SMH
Sad day for Rich
Say it Rich, "No Best Dad Ever", APOLOGIZE to the GOAT!
さっさと大谷さんに謝れ
この人なに言ったの？
@@user-iq3gh1ij6t大谷も無実じゃいよね？ワンチャン黒幕かもー？っていう陰謀論を広めてた人たちがいますが、この人もそっち側です。
Now all the talking heads are walking back their statements that ohtani was complicit in the gambling. Pathetic!
Nah, Rich is still clinging to his conspiracy theory.
As a guy that claims that he likes Ohtani…the way he presents things don’t seem like it!!
You can't be a two-way player unless you devote 24 hours to baseball. He's been doing that for over 10 years. He has more to do than count the balance in his bank account.
I lost respect for this Rich guy. Not cool at all.
Apología needed from you
APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY.
Lost a lot of respect for you Rich, you should at the very least walk back that conspiracy crap you spouted earlier.
These people are making it sound like what Ippei did stealing money from Shohei is a shock. People got to understand it happens all the time. It happened in my bussiness were an employer whose also manager took out money from the campany to use on his expense. Forget the haters that comes on making assumptions, accusation and accusing him without facts, but the media are accusing him because it brings controversy and ratings to their show. Here's some of the clients and associates that robbed and stole money from athletes and celebrities - Tim Duncan was robbed $20 million dollars, John Elway lost $15 million, Kareem Abul Jabbar lost $9 million, Kevin Garnett lost $78 million, Usain Bolt lost $12 million, Robert DeNiro lost $88 million dollars, Elton John lost $29 million, Billy Joel $90 million ect......All by clients, associates and even close partners.
Agree, and these people are busy, not to apply people’s own financial habits of limited finances and accounts. There are no way, these people will have time to always check mails or messages from banks, like many said they don’t even open those mail. They have other people doing these things
The trolls and haters accussing him are actually the ones that gambles, bunch of loser's.
People are used to negativity, there are people who are humble, successful, talented people. They exists.
Ippeis looking at 30 years in a federal prison. There's not a fall guy on the planet willing to do that. Ippeis guilty.
Lmao 30 years is an overstatement
He'll be out in less than 10 years
He's cooperating with authorities and admitting fault, so it will likely be less.
That is exactly the reason why he lied to ESPN and everyone as a last ditch attempt.
@@jhank0ceanbet?
@@RajDeelishnope. Life with no parole
Who is more likely to have a gambling problem a baseball player who grew up in rural japan or a Translator who grew up in LA and lied about having a degree. language barrier and unfamiliarity leaves athletes vulnerable. How many American athletes have been conned by their own financial advisors. wheres the journalistic effort or integrity?
It’s quite believable Shohei hadn’t noticed 16 mil missing if you’ve followed him since he was 18.
He was famous for not being interested in money at all, which is considered noble and stoic like “monk” in Japan.
He was too naive and careless trusting and relying on Ippei too much? Probably yes, but most Japanese ppl don’t understand why conspiracy bs still exist.
You mean the Japanese are choosing to believe their most internationally famous and best baseball player on the world is not guilty. Yeah I’d want to believe that too if I was in their situation.
@@JJ-zr6fu and the haters are choosing to believe Otani is a big shot who can even fool the FBI. yeah I'd want to believe that too if I was in their situation.
Yeah it’s just the cultural difference, I don’t get why people can’t believe that ohtani is innocent. Even after they already searched for evidences .
@@fanfan9490lmao the FBI is a joke. Bidens puppets
@@JJ-zr6fuidiotic. The federal investigators had access to everyone's phone records, recordings of conversations with the bank, interviews with all parties, bank records....every piece of evidence show Ohtani was just a victim.
Think of all the superstars who were ripped off by family members or confidants. The FBI clearly stated that Ohtani is innocent. Stop spewing more doubt for click bait and apologize.
Wow.. I didn’t know Rich would be so backhanded…L show
Apologize, old man
You were WRONG Rich !!!! Apology comming soon ???
RICH EISEN, READ THE 37 PAGE FEDERAL REPORT
Wow look at all these clowns saying he’s the “fall guy” they have no sense of reality. They are all prob voting in the election this yr too🤦♀️ we screwed😭
@Rich continuing with his conspiracy theories and ..VICTIM blaming Ohtani. The only blame for Ohtani is his naivety but to victim blame Ohtani is hilarious. All the conspirac spewed earlier about how is translator is not CHARGED. That aged well for you @Rich. Again, no apology to Ohtani for continuing to spew nonsense and victim blame Ohtani. SMH. Sad.
Yeah there's no way ohtani would bet 16 million of his own money, this is definitely bank fraud by someone who has access to his mail and email and information necessary to commit it. But 16 million is woweee, what a scumbag...
Are you going to acknowledge the new report Rich? The one that cements Ohtani’s innocence? Never mind you probably won’t…
This clown making money off ohtani with his bs
Also..FACTS .. According to attorney General, the winning from his gambling was routed to an account owned by Ippei. Also recordings was obtain showing Ippei pretending to be Ohtani to authorize the large release. Somebody from the bank will be fired for sure.
Yep, Ippei double dipping. Ohtani takes the losses, and Ippei takes the winnings.
Still too fishy to believe. The amount of money transferred between accounts would have giant red flags to trip many, many, many SARS, "Suspicious Activity Reports at the bank.
this guy is a clownn
As a Japanese when I studied in US long time ago I was told that if i had a car accident don’t say sorry even if it’s your fault that’s how you live in US
They can come up with all the excuses they want...his reputation is still damaged and people will continue to feel he is guilty.
rich asks in the end "I have questions.." how about reading the report first before reporting on it? maybe your "questions" would've been answered.. I usually like this guy, but shame on him and the rest of the speculators.. chomping at the bit for someone's life to be ruined for clicks..
He killed your son? What did he do to you? Max Mancy said where I come from you're innocent until proven guilty. How about you?
No apology?？？
Sounds like money laundering. Ippei steals the money, makes bets on it, and he'll be guaranteed to win some while losing others. In this case, the stolen money is split with the bookie. The winnings don't go back into Ohtani's account. They are wired into Ippei's personal account.
There's rich and there's 16 million dollars missing from your bank account without noticing rich.
People earning $100K-$300K a year have up to $3 million in their retirement accounts, which most don’t pay attention to. Often financial advisors run them. Multiply this ratio by 5 or 6, and you have Ohtani’s situation, so yes it can happen.
ESPN APOLOGIZE and buy Porsche for Shohei.
We live in Tokyo for 30 years and follow Ohtani. My Japanese wife thinks Ippei Mizuhara is actually of Korean decent. She thinks he is not Japanese at all. Mizuhara's wife is Korean and usually they end up taking Japanese names from their Korean immigrant relatives. Mizuhara lied about everything he did and even who he was.
Not all on gambling. If anyone on the show did research, he bought baseball cards too for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is over 2+years Richie. The account doesnt go from 50 million to 34 million overnight. If one statement shows 36,342,132 and the next statement is 38,543,231 (after Mizuhara makes illegal transfers). Is Ohtani supposed to recognize it should really say 39,321,432??
Ohtani had to file taxes you’re telling me the accountants did flag suspicious activity
@@JJ-zr6fu Did you read the 37 page indictment?? What does it say about what Ippei said/did to his finance people?
ippei a literal confidence man. i don’t understand why that’s hard for these people to accept. this is a routine occurrence in the sports/media/entertainment world, which presumably this guy’s a part of…
Rich apologized pls. So I can continue to support ur show
He's not man enough to apologize.
Why can't he apologize to Mr. Otani?
So basically Ippei helped Shohei set up his salary account from the Angels
Ippei had account information and had the ability to make changes
Ippei even sometimes pretended to be Shohei when the bank called
Nobody in Shohei's team speaks japanese
They commnicated with him through Ippei
Everytime someone in the team raised questions, Ippei just said it was Shohei's business
So people believe him considering how close he was with Shohei
Don't fall into Rich's gameplan, he is also trying to milk money out of the Ohtani situation.
Rich you are almost same as Pete Rose…
I understand how someone would think Ohtani is guilty in the first days of the scandal. But Ippei lost all his credibility when it was revealed that his resume was fake(faked having attended a college and having MLB interpreter experience)
stop BS, and say sorry to him as he is not victim, be a man, Rich
Rich, It's okay not to believe everything. Just believe in yourself. But please be respectful.
American Bank. He basically was Ohtani’s American version. All he had to say is”yes Ohtani wants the money”. They have no need to listen to Ohtani speak Japanese to them if they’re American Bank workers. You build comfortability. And I can believe he didn’t check his Bank much idk….. BECAUSE HE’S A HUNDRED MILLIONAIRE!
What’s the point in gambling if you can steal 16 million lol
Cause a gambler thinks that $16M can become $160M.
Because gamblers always want to get it back, and think they can get it back.
Don’t tell me shohei is that gullible and naive. He’s as much guilty as everyone that was involved too. It’s his bank account foolios. He’s just being protected. He’s guilty too
If Otani were a judge, how would you have explained it?
Dude definitely didn't spend any on a barber
Shohei using the language barrier as I don’t know bank language. Playing dumb. Watch, it all catches up to you.
Ippei's a fool or was trapped by the syndicate. A win-win situation turned into probable long jail time, what a waste. Calling on TH-cam, DO NOT ENDORSE GAMBLING!!!!!
Come on, Rich. If you're going to express your opinions intelligently and objectively, at least know the facts first. Here's a press release fom the Department of Justice...
"According to an affidavit filed with the complaint, from November 2021 to January 2024, Mizuhara wired more than $16 million in unauthorized transfers from a checking account belong to an MLB player identified in the affidavit as “Victim A,” who in fact is MLB star Shohei Ohtani. The transfers from this bank account allegedly were made from devices and IP addresses associated with Mizuhara, who served as Ohtani’s translator and de facto manager.
In 2018, Mizuhara accompanied Ohtani, who didn’t speak English, to a bank branch in Arizona to assist Ohtani in opening the account and translated for Ohtani when setting up the account details. Ohtani’s salary from playing professional baseball was deposited into this account and he never gave Mizuhara control of this or any of his other financial accounts, according to the affidavit. Mizuhara allegedly told Ohtani’s U.S.-based financial professionals, none of whom spoke Japanese, that Ohtani denied them access to the account.
In September 2021, Mizuhara began gambling with an illegal sports book and, several months later, started losing substantial sums of money, the affidavit states. During this time, the contact information on Ohtani’s bank account allegedly was changed to link the account to Mizuhara’s phone number and to an anonymous email address connected to Mizuhara.
Mizuhara allegedly also telephoned the bank and falsely identified himself as Ohtani to trick bank employees into authorizing wire transfers from Ohtani’s bank account to associates of the illegal gambling operation.
From January 2024 to March 2024, he also allegedly used this same account to purchase via eBay and Whatnot approximately 1,000 baseball cards - at a cost of approximately $325,000 - and had them mailed to Mizuhara under an alias, “Jay Min,” and mailed to the clubhouse for Ohtani’s current MLB team.
In an interview last week with law enforcement, Ohtani denied authorizing Mizuhara’s wire transfers. Ohtani provided his cellphone to law enforcement, who determined that there was no evidence to suggest that Ohtani was aware of, or involved in, Mizuhara’s illegal gambling activity or payment of those debts."
Which bank account did they come from?? Was it only one of his American bank accounts? This man does business in multiple spots in the world...all of his money isnt in just 1 account with 1 bank. If given permission to check Ohtani's bank records from Japan, would there be payments to bookies from over there? How does guy make that many bets and Ohtani not know something?
How does he play baseball with gambling addiction?
Ohtani is not only batter but also pitcher.
Rich please look at the scale of Ippei stop saying $16,000,00 . Look at Wins and Losses, Ippei wins like $140, 000 ,000 and losses of 180,000,000, I am speaking hear say
Shocked, that Rich didn't question Ohtani.
Ohtani deserves apology from not only Ippei, but also people who fell for his lies and wrongfully accused him. Especially some American commentators who spread the conspiracy theory just because they wanted to see a successful individual fall or it makes sensational headlines.
大谷さんに土下座要求されても仕方ないレベル😂
I wish I was so rich that I didn't even notice 16 million missing from my bank account.
He makes 60 million a year just on endorsements.
Ippei was trying to pay off his $40 plus million Losses
Forget all charges it’s the IRS who will get him, and his bookies plus the Bookies where in California as was Ippei the California Tax Franchise Board is real scary Ippie and bookies are in trouble like crazy trouble
Apologize to Shohei Ohtani now !!!!!!!!!!
Ohtani was reported to have made $100 Million in salary and endorsements last year and he isn't a Flashy spender of Money. So Ippei Mizuhara committed Bank Fraud, he knew how to set up the account and Ohtani trusted Ippei who took care of Shohei's shopping, Dry cleaning and Car maintenance. This has happened to many wealthy people when they trust their accountants. WOW $16 Million ! Kizuhara will have plenty of time to regret his gambling addiction, up to 30 Years in Prison !
the amount of fake outrage in this comment section might turn me to the far right
I know it's painful to be wrong in judging Shohei. I know how much you haters wanted to pin him. Sorry, the guy's fault is simply being stupid, too trusting, ignorant, and oblivious of his money.
Still you dont believe the feds investigating Shohei that said the man is not involve in illegal gambling? Oh man. You haters better luck in the next lifetime.
Most of it went to his hair stylist
名誉毀損にならないのかな？
Rich has lost me forever, stuck up talking head😂
