A former employee of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Amit Patel, is now facing additional grand theft charges after he previously stole more than $22 million from the team to support his gambling addiction. Florida authorities have added six counts of grand theft to his existing convictions. With an already imposed six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for earlier charges of wire fraud and illegal transactions, these new charges could extend his time in prison significantly.

Throughout a five-year period, Patel had embezzled funds intended for corporate expenses. Reports reveal that he used the capital to fund his gambling hobbies and to make extravagant purchases, including two cars and a luxury condo. He was quite resourceful, utilizing the Jaguars’ credit card system to siphon money directly to his FanDuel gambling account and other illicit transactions.

In previous legal proceedings, Patel was ordered to pay $21 million in restitution. In addition, the Jaguars pursued a lawsuit against him for $66.6 million in damages.

Patel’s situation has become more complex as he is also suing FanDuel for allegedly taking advantage of his predicament, asserting that he was targeted with promotions and communications encouraging further gambling.
