Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and sports agent Nez Balelo are both named in a recent lawsuit spurred by allegations of a “calculated and unlawful scheme” that plaintiffs say resulted in them being unfairly pushed out of a multimillion-dollar Hawaii real estate project.

Just because Shohei Ohtani could be legally liable for the alleged terminations of two people associated with a luxury real estate project he endorsed, doesn't mean he was directly involved in their firings.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and his agent are being sued by a Hawaii real estate investor and broker who claim the agent got them fired from a luxury housing development on the Big Island's coveted Hapuna Coast that they brought him in to.
