Shohei Ohtani fanboys and Dodgers superfans are all yelling, "CASE CLOSED!!" after that statement.
There are also some smarmy lawyers claiming that Shohei wouldn't make false allegations against Ippei, so this has to be true.
These people are not gamblers like we are, so they don't understand.
Shohei is only defaming Ippei IF there isn't some kind of prior agreement to do so. If Ippei has agreed behind the scenes to take credit for "theft", in exchange for some major incentive down the road, then there's no defamation and no crime here. It's not illegal to lie to the media, and you can't defame someone who agreed to be the public fall guy.
I always hate when there's a giant piece missing of the story, and we're just supposed to shrug our shoulders and move on.
If Ippei stole $4.5m from Shohei, where is the police report? And if they didn't go to the police, why not? This is always what I ask of poker players at WSOP when they claim their stake money was "stolen", yet they usually refuse to provide any evidence they went to police, because of course they stole it themselves and won't file false police reports.
If Ippei did those wires without Shohei's knowledge, how did he have access to Shohei's accounts, and why did the bank not question any of this?
Until we get these answers, his statements are meaningless.
