Japanese interpreter charged with stealing $16 million from MLB star Shohei Ohtani

reut.rs/43VeIOi

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.

Quick Glance: Why Japan Seeks Summit with Nuclear-Armed North Korea

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida aims to engage in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

North Korea has not definitively stated its position on a summit with Japan, with some statements suggesting a potential opening for closer ties.

Past summits between Japan and North Korea had varying outcomes, with North Korea acknowledging some abductions in 2002.

Kishida's efforts to arrange a meeting with Kim Jong Un carry political risks and could lead to a decline in his approval ratings given North Korea's reluctance, posing challenges for Japan.

Quick Glance: Last Survivor of USS Arizona from Pearl Harbor Attack Passes Away

The final surviving member of the USS Arizona battleship that was destroyed during the Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor has passed away. Lou Conter had reached the age of 102.

Conter passed away in his residence in Grass Valley, California as a result of congestive heart failure, as confirmed by his daughter, Louann Daley.

In the attack of 1941 that propelled the United States into World War II, a total of 1,177 sailors and Marines lost their lives. Conter, who served as a quartermaster, was stationed on the main deck of the Arizona when Japanese aircraft flew above him on December 7 at 7:55 a.m.

A bomb managed to pierce through the steel decks of the battleship 13 minutes into the assault, igniting more than 1 million pounds of gunpowder stored beneath it, causing the ship to be raised out of the water.

Tesla Laying Off Over 10% of Its Workers: ‘It Must Be Done’: Elon Musk announced the cuts, estimated to affect at least 14,000 jobs.

thedailybeast.com/tesla-laying-off-over-10-of-its-workers-it-must-be-done

Quick Glance: Tesla to Cut 14,000 Jobs, Elon Musk Aims for Lean Brand

Tesla is laying off more than 10% of its global workforce, equivalent to at least 14,000 roles, in response to slowing demand and price pressure.

Elon Musk announced the 'difficult decision' in a memo, mentioning that Tesla had experienced role and function duplications in certain areas due to rapid growth in recent years.

The job cuts follow a difficult start to the year for the electric carmaker, citing production problems caused by unforeseen factors and a decline in global demand.

Tesla recorded a gross profit margin of 17.6% in the fourth quarter, the lowest in over four years, attributed to repeated price cuts and increased competition in China.
