A former employee of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Amit Patel, who is currently serving a prison sentence for embezzling over $22 million from the NFL franchise, has filed a lawsuit against a sports betting company, FanDuel, alleging that they exploited his gambling addiction.
Patel, 31, was convicted earlier this year for stealing millions from the Jaguars through the team's virtual credit card program between 2019 and 2023. Prosecutors revealed that Patel used the stolen funds to finance a luxurious lifestyle, which included buying properties and chartering private jets, with a significant portion of the money being spent on online sports betting.
