Three men have been charged in an alleged scheme to fraudulently sell more than 34,000 Chicago White Sox tickets from 2016 through 2019.

An FBI indictment released Friday notes two former White Sox employees who worked in the ticket office, James Costello and William O'Neil, conspired with local ticket broker Bruce Lee to defraud the franchise of nearly $1 million, per Jon Seidel of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Lee has been charged with 11 counts of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, while Costello faces his own charge of wire fraud.
