Reports indicate $6.6M in betting volume facilitated through single Vegas casino with VIP treatment. Systematic operation involving multiple insider connections and bribery attempts.

proper embarrassing for baseball. best player in the game and his translator is running underground bookmaking operation? how does that even happen

CatMatt · Friday at 12:39 PM

read that the translator was taking bets from high rollers and using casino connections to launder money. way more sophisticated than typical gambling problem

always someone close to athletes getting greedy. tale as old as time

nataly.k · Friday at 12:40 PM

feel bad for ohtani honestly. guy seems like he just wanted to play baseball and his translator was using him for illegal gambling

Timmy · Friday at 12:41 PM

fr how u even trust anyone after this just imagine finding out your translator is crime boss

aviator · Friday at 12:42 PM

the casino angle is what gets me. $6.6M in action and they're giving him free flights and VIP treatment? they had to know something was off

vogafox · Friday at 12:42 PM

@aviator exactly. casinos track everything meticulously. no way they didn't know this guy was running book with that volume

regulatroy oversight failure. casino risk management systems should flag unusual betting patterns and source of funds. either incompetence or complcity

honestly just SAD for ohtani bb

finally having amazing season and now this drama overshadowing everything

firstleague · Friday at 12:44 PM

@fluffy precisely why this is so damaging. MLB spent years rebuilding credibility after steroids, now gambling scandals threatening sport integrity again

chapman · Friday at 12:45 PM

mate how does interpreter even get access to that kind of money? was ohtani bankrolling him or was he stealing?

Peter33 · Friday at 12:46 PM

reports suggest translator had independent financing sources, possibly other high-profile clients. ohtani claims he was unaware of illegal activities

pokerslave55 · Friday at 12:47 PM

bullshit ohtani didn't know. guy handling your money and making millions in bets? come on

language barrier though innit? ohtani relies completely on translator for everything american. easy to be manipulated

M.Bato · Friday at 12:49 PM

Investigation will determine extent of player knowledge. Evidence suggests translator operated independently but used proximity to athlete for credibility with illegal betting clients

slotking · Friday at 12:49 PM

regardless of ohtani's involvement, this exposes massive problems with oversight of athlete support staff and casino due diligence

firstleague · Friday at 12:50 PM

yea MLB needs complete background checks for anyone with financial access to players. this should never happen again

DagaW · Friday at 12:51 PM

wont change anything. too much money in sports gambling now. more scandals coming
