It has been two months since news broke that a former Jacksonville Jaguars employee was accused of stealing $22 million from the team and using much of it to fund a "serious gambling addiction." Now, the football organization is trying to recover those funds.
Amit Patel, the former Jaguars finance manager, lost approximately $20 million of the stolen money on FanDuel. The team has asked the gambling company to reimburse some or all of the funds, but the company won't pay, ESPN reported Friday.
Patel reportedly siphoned money for three years from the Jaguars' virtual credit card system, which the franchise used for expenses.
