Another sad day for for the Trump haters. Letitia has to take down all her for sale signs on Trump's properties.

ICP already knocking on the door of $20. Average cost was $13. Nearly 50 percent in less than a week.

He was not only his interpreter, he was his closest friend who spent time at his house. He could have saw where his passwords were stored or maybe even helped him set up his accounts. The guy was extremely sharp and very slick. I feel really bad for Shohei to have been stabbed in the back so badly, and I hope it does not impact him too much. You already know I am right about a lot of stuff based on hindsight. I really wish the things I say about institutions I once trusted weren't true. I may make judgements quickly, but they are sound and not based on bias. I once thought our foreign policies were based on spreading freedom and Democracy, but an honest look at our history has revealed dozens of coups to overthrow popular leaders only to be replaced by US puppet dictators who would do the bidding for US corporate and military interests, and this includes what is going on today in the Ukraine along with over 70 years worth of other atrocities. We have a legal system which favors the rights of government regulation over the rights of the people. We have a medical establishment which is more concerned about promoting and protecting big Pharma over the lives of citizens. We have food regulators who favor the interests of big farms and food corporations over the rights of the small farmer. It is really sad that our big government agencies are far more concerned about their self-interests and expanding their power than they are with doing what is right and have forgotten what this country stands for.

Everyone with knowledge of the events backs up Ohtani's account, and it was the interpreter who was responsible for telling the agent the first story. Ohtani has told one and only one story and has never changed it. Everyone jumping on Ohtani-trashing bandwagon look like fools. Yes the interpreter used Ohtani's account to cover his own gambling debts.

He is either the most disingenuous poster or the dumbest. ...or both.

We know the interpreted lied about everything in his past. We know that the interpreter is the one who met up with the bookie and made all the communications. We know that the interpreter gambles and Ohtani has showed no interest in gambling in his life.

Not if he was swindled, which it very much appeared he was.

Maybe not completely, but several people in the room notice Ohtani became visibly shocked when Ohtani spoke to a second interpreter who was in the room as if he had no idea what just went down.

I would bet any amount of money Shoehi had no involvement in the betting.

Mizuhara was Shoehi's closest friend and they were hardly separated. It is highly likely he helped Shoehi on English websites which his account was set up on. And yes, Mizuhara was still interpreting to Shoehi while he was telling the story to the media. It is not the current story, it is the story.

Voting rights....lol, what a canard. It is only the ivory tower woke racist idiots who believe blacks are too dumb and incapable of getting an ID. Virtually every functioning adult citizen has a state ID. Ask any black on the street if they believe it is too hard for blacks to get an ID and they would punch you for uttering such a racist tripe.

In the history of government, they have given us no reason to believe them and still show they are working solely in the interest of the rich establishment. It is not that I think the government is screwing us over on our rights, I know for a fact they are. As far as Ohtani, it is not a new version. Ohtani was being lied to by the interpreter and never agreed to or understood what the original version was. Once he got back and another interpreter talked to him who explained what the story that was being told was, Ohtani was in complete shock and then had his version told.

I have built a decent position in ICP and it is starting to take off. Now my third largest holding behind SOL and BTC. Currently sitting at $15.25.

Yes it is 100 percent clear. Ohtani was a total victim who was extremely naive and taken advantage of by this liar and crook. Ohtani will face no punishment for this from baseball or the feds.

BTC @ 66,800 SOL @ 183 7 percent in two days.

That is not only bigotted, it is incorrect. Not a soul has ever seen Ohtani gamble on anything. Even the bookie says he never spoke or communicated with Ohtani in any way and only knew Ohtani connection because of the wire transfers.

I should have posted the rest of the story where it made it clear thst Ohtani did not know what was going on. Even while the interpreter was confessing he was still telling lies and then telling Ohtani a completely different version. Ohtani had no idea the gambling issue and payments until later.

Dodgers Rumors: Shohei Ohtani Wasn’t Aware Of Ippei Mizuhara’s Gambling Until Clubhouse Meeting The Seoul Series brought about multiple off-the-field distractions for the Los Angeles Dodgers, first with a bomb threat on Opening Day, then an illegal gambling scandal involving Ippei Mizuhara and by extension Shohei Ohtani as well. Mizuhara’s purported betting came to light when a federal investigation into Southern California bookmaker Mathew Bowyer turned up wire transfers from a bank account under Ohtani’s name. “In the course of responding to recent media inquiries, we discovered that Shohei has been the victim of a massive theft, and we are turning the matter over to the authorities,” Berk Brettler LLP, the law firm representing Ohtani, said in a statement. According to Tisha Thompson of ESPN, Ohtani was not aware of Mizuhara’s gambling activity and debts until the interpreter addressed the Dodgers clubhouse in Seoul: After the game, the Dodgers hold a meeting in the clubhouse, where team owner Mark Walter tells the players a negative story is coming, according to a team official later interviewed by ESPN. Mizuhara apologizes, according to the official, and tells the team he has a gambling addiction. A Dodgers executive, Andrew Friedman, stands up and says Ohtani had helped to cover Mizuhara’s losses, the team official and others present said. On the way back to the hotel, Ohtani starts asking questions about what had been said in the clubhouse, the Ohtani spokesman told ESPN, and his representatives say that’s when Ohtani told them he didn’t recognize Mizuhara’s version of the events. According to the Dodgers official and Ohtani’s spokesman, Ohtani’s representatives had continued to rely on Mizuhara to communicate with Ohtani while they were dealing with the situation, and Mizuhara did not tell Ohtani what was happening.

Ohtani's biggest mistakes were not learning English and being naive and trusting this con man...... Ohtani’s former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, had inaccuracies in public biography As a brewing gambling scandal has ensnared Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, questions have arisen about the reliability of the tale’s primary narrator thus far: Ohtani’s now former interpreter and best friend, Ippei Mizuhara. Those questions have only grown, with increased scrutiny on Mizuhara revealing that key points of his publicly available biography appear to be either exaggerated or inaccurate. For years, the Los Angeles Angels media guide lists Mizuhara as having graduated from the University of California, Riverside in 2007, and that he spent spring training in 2012 working for the New York Yankees as an interpreter for Japanese pitcher Hideki Okajima. Also, multiple news reports noted that Mizuhara served as Okajima’s interpreter in 2010 with the Boston Red Sox — where he reportedly got his first major-league opportunity. disputed the notion that Mizuhara had ever attended the school, much less having graduated. “Our university records do not show a student by the name of Ippei Mizuhara having attended UC Riverside,” a school spokesman told The Athletic. UC Riverside did not respond when asked if it was possible Mizuhara attended the school under a different name, or if anyone with a similar name ever attended. Spokespeople representing Ohtani declined to comment when asked if they had believed Mizuhara’s biography during his tenure with Ohtani. Meanwhile, multiple news reports show that Okajima failed a physical on Feb. 17, 2012, before spring training, when he was released by the Yankees. Mizuhara could have worked with Okajima before the official start of camp, during the month or so when players on minor-league deals might arrive early to work out. But the Angels media guide has stated annually since 2019 that Mizuhara “served as an interpreter for Hideki Okajima during Yankees Spring Training in 2012.” Earlier this week, the Red Sox released a statement insisting that Mizuhara has never worked for the team. “We are reaching out to all of you because of reports in various outlets stating that Ippei Mizuhara worked for the Red Sox as an interpreter, which is incorrect,” read a message from the club distributed to media members on Friday. “Mizuhara was never employed by the Boston Red Sox in any capacity and was not an interpreter for Hideki Okajima during the pitcher’s time with the team. Please know that we have thoroughly checked our files to ensure we are providing accurate information.” Mizuhara and Okajima could not be reached for comment. Mizhuara’s connection to Okajima seems to have been exaggerated over time. Multiple news reports have linked Mizuhara to Okajima over different periods. That includes a Nippon.com story from 2021 that said Mizuhara was Okajima’s interpreter during the 2010 season with the Red Sox. But in addition to the Red Sox’s denial, archives from the Boston Globe in April and May 2010 name Ryo Shinkawa as Okajima’s interpreter. The team’s media guide from 2010 lists two people as team interpreters that season, but not Mizuhara. Searches on two different news databases did not bring up results featuring Mizuhara before 2018, when Ohtani first signed with the Angels. In devising a media guide, the standard protocol requires trust between the media relations department and the rest of the employees, according to interviews with media relations staffers from other clubs, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. The media relations department does not have the time to vet the resume claims of each employee, the staffers said. A media relations staffer will often send a proposed biographic thumbnail for pre-approval to the employee, or ask the employee for biographical information in publishing the guide. Mizuhara was terminated from his position with the Dodgers on Wednesday after Ohtani’s representatives alleged that he stole at least $4.5 million from the two-way superstar to cover his own gambling losses. Mizuhara initially told ESPN on Tuesday that Ohtani had agreed to pay off Mizuhara’s debts, and was present when the money was wired to Matt Bowyer, the alleged bookmaker currently under federal investigation. But soon after Mizuhara spoke with ESPN, a spokesman for Ohtani recanted the account and said that Ohtani had not been aware of Mizuhara’s gambling activity. The Associated Press reported that the IRS has opened a criminal investigation into Mizuhara. ESPN reported that Ohtani’s representatives have initiated a criminal complaint against Mizuhara, but declined to state which agency. Major League Baseball announced on Friday that it opened a formal investigation into the situation. Until these recent events, the 39-year-old Mizuhara had been the most prominent of a small group of interpreters working with Asian players in Major League Baseball. He was seen as Ohtani’s right-hand man, always at the side of the two-way superstar, and he was one of the most public-facing people in the sport.

The bet I lost was about Fani getting booted, which it still looks like she probably will, just not by the spineless judge.

It is just Ron the pot looking in the mirror.

Judges morphed into idiots when inside these corrupt institutions for too long. All the 1984 Act did was tried to make equal sentencing for equal crimes. So what this corrupt judge did was look at all the other BLM sentences and say hey they all got probation, so this one will too. Instead of comparing to the obscene sentences the J6ers were given. So this warped bastard of a judge is using a rule which is supposed to equalize the sentencing and instead twisted it to continue the two-teir justice system which favors the bootlickers to the red-blooded Americans. You fuking idiots just parrot crap and have not the slightest clue what it really means. Dumfukers every one of you bootlicking idiots.

Two-tiered justice system. Modern leftist see freedom-loving citizens as the only criminals worth prosecuting. The biggest crime one can commit is speaking out against corrupt institutions.

The base of the party is freedom-loving Americans who believe in the rights and principles outlined in the Constitution. People who do not believe that power-hungry greedy bastards who are empowered by corrupt institutions are superior and should be able to limit our speech, take our guns, spy on us, not protect our borders, fight illegal proxies wars, convict people by jury shopping districts, treat people unequally. Racism is not even part of the equation.

Out of over 200 dixiecrat politicians (congressmen, senators, governors, etc.) exactly two switched parties, Strom and Albert Watson, and Strom did so long before Nixon was president.
