Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani, has been sentenced to 57 months in prison for defrauding the athlete out of $17 million through a gambling scheme. In addition to his prison sentence, Mizuhara is required to pay $18.1 million in restitution. Although he was implicated in a betting scandal, federal authorities found no evidence of a gambling addiction. This high-profile case raises concerns about gambling among professional athletes, with reports suggesting that many are involved in illegal betting activities.
