One man begins a prison sentence and the other goes on a World Series run, but putting to rest questions about what really happened between these two men isn’t so simple.
Encrypted text messages, a trunk full of baseball cards, and a private bank account – federal law enforcement takes us inside their investigation of Shohei and Ippei.

ESPN Investigative Reporter Tisha Thompson receives a tip that, if true, could damage Shohei Ohtani’s picture-perfect reputation.
