The former interpreter for Shohei Ohtani is facing federal charges related to his alleged theft of millions from the superstar, according to a source.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Ippei Mizuhara, 39, is in negotiations to plead guilty and that the investigation is racing toward a conclusion.
The investigation started just three weeks ago when news broke that at least $4.5 million was transmitted from Ohtani\'s bank account to a California bookmaker under federal investigation.
