Ippei Mizuhara was charged with felony bank fraud for stealing over $16 million from Shohei Ohtani. Mizuhara plans to plead guilty, potentially leading to a shorter sentence.
Mizuhara surrendered to authorities, was released on conditional bond, and was ordered not to travel or contact Ohtani. He apologized to Ohtani and the Dodgers through his lawyer.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada emphasized that Ohtani was a victim and had no knowledge of Mizuhara's actions. There was no evidence of Ohtani authorizing the transfers.
