By the end of 2022 Mizuhara had lost over $1 million. His debt then ballooned to $4 million by early 2023. He started gambling in 2021, when he first met the bookie.
So, between "the end of 2022", and "early 2023", his debt went from over $1M, to $4M! Remember, this was when he was making around (according to him), $85K per year. This guy was a complete mess!

One thing that doesn't add up though, knowing how the underworlds of the sports betting world operate, is that there is no bookie on the planet that is going to extend a line of credit to someone for up to $4 million when they only make $300-500k per year, let alone $85k. So they must have felt confident that they would be receiving the money one way or another.
