Former Jaguars Employee Accused of Stealing $22 Mil over Four Years (mod edit)

UPDATE: REMAINS IN TREATMENT!! HOW ABOUT KICKING THIS FOOLS arse? Dont people kick arses anymore?

Former Jaguars executive Amit Patel allegedly embezzled more than $22 million from the team. His lawyer blames it on a gambling addiction.

Specifically, attorney Alex King said Thursday, via ESPN.com, that Patel manipulated the team’s virtual credit card program “to gamble on Daily Fantasy Sports” with FanDuel and DraftKings, and that “approximately 99% of the misappropriated funds” were related to gambling losses.

“Mr. Patel is deeply remorseful and apologizes for his conduct,” King said. “He loved working for the Jacksonville Jaguars and regrets his actions which have resulted in him both losing his dream job and damaging the organization. Mr. Patel remains in treatment and intends to seek ongoing treatment for the foreseeable future.”
