nbc's david noriega is following this for us from los angeles. what more can you tell us, david? like you said, this press conference just wrapped up, so we have pretty much been getting these details in realtime. first of all, it helps to understand what's happening here to understand the relationship that ohtani had with the person who charges are being filed against, his interpreter. he was his right-hand man in every aspect of his life. prosecutors are referring to him as his de facto manager. here are the details. prosecutors say he stole $16 million from ohtani. the right-hand man, interpreter, he took ohtani to a physical bank branch to open the account that was used to pay down gambling debts. $16 million, really a pretty eye popping, shocking amount. now it was because mizuhara had so much access to ohtani's life that he was able to pull this off. a short clip from the press conference explains how he was able to get these wire transfers out. take a listen. >> mr. mizuhara lied to the bank to access the account. for instance, we have obtained recordings of telephone call
