"The Complaint Against Ippei"

With illegal gambling back in baseball's news this month — with two MLB players allegedly aiding in an illegal gambling fix worth hundreds of thousands of dollars — we revisit the Ippei Mizuhara gambling scandal that dominated the news in Dodgerland (and beyond) back in the Spring of 2024, when the first episodes of Dodger Blue Dream were publishing. The first of two episodes, "The Talented Mr. Ippei," was published on the feed last week. Start with that episode, and then move onto this one: "The Complain Against Ippei."

A 37-page federal criminal complaint answers questions about how Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, allegedly stole $16 million from Ohtani to pay debts Mizuhara had accrued with an allegedly illegal bookmaker.
