An Orange County bookie whose clients included Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter for Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges for running an illegal gambling business.
Mathew Bowyer, 49, was charged in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana with operating an unlawful gambling business, money laundering, and subscribing to a false tax return as part of a plea agreement unsealed Wednesday. The agreement said Bowyer's gambling business had 'more than 700 bettors at times' and 'often had gross revenue of well over $2,000 on a single day.
Bowyer sometimes operated the business while he gambled at a Las Vegas casino — occasionally paying his agents commission in chips. Bowyer’s best-known client was Mizuhara, the Japanese-language interpreter and 'de facto manager' of Ohtani. The Dodgers All-Star has denied any knowledge of the gambling. Law enforcement officials have said they consider Ohtani a victim. Mizuhara pleaded guilty on June 4 to one count of bank fraud and one count of subscribing to a false tax return.
