Mizuhara's winning bets totaled over $142M, which he deposited in his own bank account and not Ohtani's. But his losing bets were around $183M, a net loss of nearly $41M.

Mizuhara, 39, was fired by the Dodgers on March 21 amid news reports that at least $4.5 million was wired from Ohtani’s accounts to an alleged illegal bookmaker, Mathew Bowyer.

Mizuhara was also accused of filing a false tax return in 2022 when he claimed to make $136,865. Instead, he earned more than $4.1 million from his bank fraud, according to prosecutors.
