More than $16 million was stolen from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts from Mizuhara's involvement with an illegal bookmaker. Ohtani was deemed the victim of theft.
Mizuhara began illegal gambling in 2021, losing substantial sums of money. Ohtani's bank account details were allegedly changed to Mizuhara's.
Mizuhara is facing federal charges of bank fraud, carrying a 30-year prison sentence. He surrendered to authorities and appeared in court.
