Former Jaguars employee Amit Patel is accused of stealing more than $22 million from the franchise, according to a report from Katie Strang and Kalyn Kahler at The Athletic.
Patel was employed by the Jaguars from 2018 to ’22, working his way up to the role of manager, financial planning and analysis, per the team’s media guides. According to the report, Patel was able to exploit the company’s virtual credit card program in order to purchase a range of items including “two vehicles, a condominium and a designer watch worth over $95,000.”
The report cites court documents filed in U.S. District Court in Jacksonville earlier this week. While the Jaguars are not named in the filing, the franchise confirmed that they were the “Business A” referred to in the case in a statement to The Athletic.
