Former Jaguars employee facing charges for stealing $22 million from team
Former Jaguars employee Amit Patel, who stole over $22 million from the team to fund his gambling addiction, is facing new charges in Florida. He is already serving a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for wire fraud and illegal monetary transactions. Patel faces six counts of grand theft, each punishable by a 30-year sentence. He was previously ordered to pay $21 million in restitution to the team. Patel embezzled the money by funneling it to his FanDuel account and making fraudulent purchases. While in prison, Patel has sued FanDuel, claiming they exploited his gambling addiction. Critics argue that Patel misrepresented his lifestyle to the sportsbook.
