Patel is accused of stealing $22,221,454.40 and using some of that money for purchases that include a condominium in Ponte Vedra Beach, a Tesla Model 3 sedan, cryptocurrency, chartering private jets, luxury hotel stays, a country club membership and luxury wrist watches.


Its crazy how how greedy a person can get, like homie could have had a regular house and car and flew 1st class and probably never got caught now he going be in prison for years and in debt forever. Everything he worked hard to steal is now gone forever

Just how many millions of dollars does a company need to make in order to not see when 20mil is stolen?

Should rename thread title to: Jaguars sign former employee to 4yr/$22M contract, fully guaranteed.

Hundreds of millions and the owner is a billionaire, and the team is just a side hobby.

Well it looks like the problem is he was the spending the money but also he was the only person responsible for ensuring the budget balanced as well. They probably conducted a 3rd party audit not knowing he was stealing and got caught.

Indeed. Just shows us the appalling amount of money that we are funneling to the league and owners. An incredible game but a pretty disgusting business.

Exactly. But once he saw he could steal a couple hundred thousand without anyone noticing he decided to go hard or go home, or in this case, prison.

And here's the deal, his job probably paid really, really well. To have that position in the NFL I'm sure he wasn't hurting. So instead of just being plain ol really well off and never have to worry about money, now he'll be bartering smuggled goods for the next several years.

I actually knew a guy who was skimming union money. He was the treasurer and he was a good dude except for the fact that he was stealing. He started off small but then he started taking more and more. Of course he got caught but instead of doing any time he decided to opt out. One bad decision can snowball into a disaster.

Surely, we can find a whistleblower to identify some Saints employee, idk maybe named Dennis, who is also stealing roughly the same amount from the organization.

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

I need a job where it's possible for me to steal 22M over the span of years

 

[longtime lurker]

Reminds me of Richard Pryor in Superman 3. Nobody misses those half pennys so why not?!?
