We really, for the first time, get to hear from the actual federal investigators who were reading the text messages between Shohei and Ipe.
40,000 text messages between these two men.
We interviewed the IRS lead investigator who has never done any interview in a two-decade career before, but he...
agreed to do this interview for this podcast because he wanted people to know what they found and and why they came to the conclusions that they came to i mean the investigation 40 000 text messages all in japanese so not only did they have to read all these text messages they had to translate them um they had agents with the department of homeland security and agents with irs reading through all of these messages they also went through all of the bank records
you'll learn that the feds seized not just evidence from ePay, but they also had seized evidence previously from the bookie.
And so they were able to combine the phones and the different things that they found, bank records, particularly from the bookie and compared bank accounts.
And we really get into the details of that investigation so people can hear what they found and why they came to the conclusions that they came to.
The federal investigators would tell you that they believe that Shohei Ohtani, based on the evidence, is an innocent victim.
And that Ipe Mizahara pleaded guilty.
He turned over his phone.
He cooperated with federal investigators.
He pleaded guilty.
And in the podcast, we're going to show you that it's more than just what he said.
And it's more than just...
the bank account there's other evidence that the feds uncovered that led them to believe that this was more complicated than a man who had a terrible gambling addiction which is how epay's attorneys presented it in court you know i obviously was in court following all of this as it went along um you know epay was presented as a man with a terrible terrible sports betting addiction
Got $40 million into debt with the illegal bookmaker.
But there's other evidence that the feds uncovered that showed that Ipe was using Shohei's money for things beyond the gambling.
There's a very interesting storyline about Ipe's.
I don't know if obsession is the right word, but long, lifelong love affair with baseball cards.
Baseball cards becomes very important in this story.
