00:00Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and his agent are being sued for allegedly sabotaging a $240 million real estate deal.
00:09A Hawaii real estate investor and broker are claiming that Ohtani and his agent Naz Balaylo got them fired from a massive luxury housing development on Big Island's coveted Hapuna Coast that they brought him in to endorse.
00:20The suit, which was filed in a Hawaii circuit court on Friday, accuses Ohtani and Balaylo of tortious interference and unjust enrichment, saying,
00:29This case is about abuse of power. Defendants use threats and baseless legal claims to force a business partner to betray its contractual obligations and strip plaintiffs of the very project they conceived and built.
00:42Ohtani was listed in a 2024 press release for the Vista at Mauna Kea Resort project as the first resident of the property, which was aimed at appealing to high-end American and Japanese buyers.
00:52Ohtani is in his second season with the Dodgers after signing a 10-year, $700 million contract ahead of the 2024 season.
