But the Ohtani story isn't just that it wasn't him making bets, he's accusing his close friend of a massive theft. Forget about whether the gambling involved baseball, that's a felony. The cops are going to investigate this so I don't see how MLB is able to bury it. Surely the Ohtani camp wouldn't play the theft card if it wasn't legitimate?
This isn't Pete Rose, his gambling was never a criminal issue.

Yeah. It'd be one thing for him to fire his buddy to make him the fall guy. Maybe you make him a side payment later and it's win-win.
Tougher to do that when there's some time in a US prison involved.
