Bookie for Ohtani’s ex-interpreter tells all ahead of sentencing in betting scandal

In 2024, California bookmaker Mathew Bowyer found himself at the center of a sprawling federal investigation into bookmaking — and the biggest scandal in sports. Bowyer, who operated an unlicensed gambling operation, received millions in wire transfers from the bank account of Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani. That money had been stolen by Ippei Mizuhara, Ohtani’s longtime interpreter, who placed more than 19,000 wagers with Bowyer. The fallout included the arrest and conviction of Mizuhara, who is serving nearly five years in prison for bank and tax fraud. Meanwhile, Bowyer pleaded guilty to money laundering and running an illegal gambling business. Before his sentencing, he sat down with ESPN investigative reporter Tisha Thompson, revealing the inner workings of the multimillion-dollar scheme. 0:00 Introduction of Mathew Bowyer 1:00 Chapter 1: Ippei Mizuhara’s gambling addiction pt. 1 2:45 Chapter 2: Shohei Ohtani’s involvement 5:00 Chapter 3: Mizuhara’s gambling addiction pt. 2 6:25 Chapter 4: Ohtani takes legal action 7:35 Pleading guilty and accountability ✔️ Subscribe to ESPN+ http://espnplus.com/youtube ✔️ Get the ESPN App: http://www.espn.com/espn/apps/espn ✔️ Subscribe to ESPN on YouTube: http://es.pn/SUBSCRIBEtoYOUTUBE ✔️ Subscribe to NBA on ESPN on YouTube: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoNBAonESPN ✔️ Watch ESPN on YouTube TV: http://es.pn/YouTubeTV
