Jaguars file $66.6 million lawsuit against former employee for embezzlement
Former Jacksonville Jaguars employee, Amit Patel, stole $22 million from the team to fund a lavish lifestyle and pay off gambling debts. The team is now suing Patel for $66.6 million in damages for fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and civil theft. If successful, the Jaguars could recover stolen funds without federal intervention. Patel, serving a 6½-year prison sentence for theft, transferred millions to gambling platforms and personal accounts. The team is seeking reimbursement from FanDuel. Legal experts suggest the Jaguars have a strong case in civil court due to lower burden of proof. Patel’s lawyer did not comment on the lawsuit.
