The former interpreter for Shohei Ohtani illegally wired money from the Dodger star’s bank account to reality TV star Ryan Boyajian, according to a new report.
The former interpreter for Shohei Ohtani illegally wired money from a bank account belonging to the Los Angeles Dodgers star to reality TV star Ryan Boyajian, according to a new report from ESPN.
The report identifies a bookmaker’s associate — whose identity was hidden in the Department of Justice complaint against interpreter Ippei Mizuhara — as Boyajian, a longtime associate of bookmaker Mathew Bowyer and a cast member of « The Real Housewives of Orange County. »
It was Boyajian, not Bowyer, who collected the gambling debts Mizuhara illegally stole from an account belonging to Ohtani, according to the federal investigation.
ESPN, citing multiple sources, reported Boyajian received immunity in return for his testimony against Mizuhara. Boyajian, 47, and Bowyer, 49, were friends and business associates for nearly 20 years, according to the report.
