Episode 228- Mathew Bowyer | Shohei Ohtani Translators Bookie

For years, today's guest Mathew Bowyer was one of the biggest bookies in America. He gained notoriety for eventually getting indicted being at the center of a scandal involving MLB star Shohei Ohtani and his translator. The translator Ippei Mizuhara was a degenerate gambler who lost over 40 million dollars to Bowyer using funds from Ohtani to pay them back. I speak to Bowyer about his early life, what got him into bookmaking, dealing with organized crime and the Mafia, his lavish life as a bookmaker and high level gambler and his upcoming trip to federal prison.
