Surprising new report adds more doubt to Shohei Ohtani’s innocence in bizarre gambling scandal.
A new report about the ongoing Shohei Ohtani scandal adds more doubt to his innocence since the millions stolen from him have apparently not been reported to any notable authority.
Shohei Ohtani interpreter: Ippei Mizuhara
However, since the news made headlines last week, there has been a great deal of doubt around baseball about how innocent the two-time American League MVP really is. And the fact that MLB has opened an investigation into things shows the league is not completely buying what Ohtani is selling.
Now, there is another major piece of information that will cast more doubt on the Dodgers star’s truthfulness. On Tuesday night, ESPN reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers and Ohtani’s reps have continuously declined comment to the site about which local, federal, or even international authorities they have reported Mizuhara’s shocking theft to.
Local authorities have not been contacted by Shohei Ohtani about million million-dollar theft
The outlet reports they have inquired since the news first broke and have consistently been stonewalled by the organization and its top star. Nor have they offered even proof of an official report being filed. ESPN and Front Office Sports both have made inquiries with authorities in Anaheim and Los Angeles, CA where the report would have been filed and neither police department has confirmed being contacted by Ohtani or the team.
