Former Jacksonville Jaguars employee, Amit Patel, stands accused of stealing more than $22 million from the team. According to a report by The Athletic, Patel, who served in financial planning and analysis for the Jaguars from 2018 to 2023, exploited the team’s virtual credit card program, a tool designed for legitimate business expenses. Patel, allegedly manipulated the system by inflating valid transactions and disguising personal expenditures, which included a luxurious Florida condo, a Tesla Model 3, a Nissan pickup truck, a $95,000 watch, private jet trips, high-end dining, and even forays into cryptocurrency and NFTs.
Astonishingly, he also secured the services of a criminal defense firm, signaling a level of premeditation that has left the Jaguars and the entire NFL community dumbfounded. While the official charges include one count of wire fraud and one count of illegal monetary transactions, the Jaguars were quick to reassure fans that Patel had no access to confidential football strategies or personnel information, averting a potential crisis for the team.
