That was a wild story. I still have a hard time believing Shohei knew nothing. Not saying he was involved in the gambling but he must have known something.

>U.S. District Judge John W. Holcomb gave Ohtani's former interpreter a 57-month sentence and three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay nearly $17 million in restitution to Ohtani and $1.1 million to the IRS.

>Prosecutors recommended a 57-month sentence, while Mizuhara's lawyer asked for an 18-month sentence, citing a long-standing gambling addiction. But in a court filing, prosecutors said there was "only minimal evidence" that Mizuhara had gambled before he began stealing from Ohtani.
