The US Justice Department investigation into Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter has painted a portrait of an insatiable gambler who turns to fraud as the losses pile up.
Ippei Mizuhara, 39, the former long-time translator and Ohtani's right-hand man, was charged on Thursday with stealing more than $16 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar's bank account in order to pay off gambling debts.
