Shohei Ohtani<\/strong><\/a> had no idea his translator was gambling millions of dollars, and the feds have concluded not only was the Dodger star NOT involved in the scheme, he was a victim of fraud … law enforcement sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The feds have been investigating Ippei Mizuhara<\/strong>, Ohtani’s longtime translator, close friend, and functionally his manager. Mizuhara gambled away millions<\/strong><\/a>, reportedly at least $4.5 million, and after the story broke he said Ohtani had covered the debt.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Our sources say the feds, who launched an investigation last month, have concluded Mizuhara was lying — that Ohtani was completely in the dark over the gambling debt, and Mizuhara embezzled from one of Ohtani’s accounts without the pitcher’s knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
