He was charged with misusing the money for personal needs, including sports betting and the purchase of a Tesla, a $95,000 watch, and a condo in Ponte Vedra.
According to the ESPN story that was released on Friday, Patel used the stolen money to wager $20 million on sports and daily fantasy games on FanDuel. According to the story, he also lost $1 million on wagers made at DraftKings, a rival betting website.
Talks on “a settlement” between the NFL, FanDuel, and the Jaguars are reportedly ongoing, but an insider told ESPN that “we got this money fair and clear.” The fact that we have to give it back to you is not our issue.”
Amit Patel, 31, worked for the Jaguars’ financial department for at least five full seasons, starting in 2018, according to team media guides. In 2019, he received a promotion to middle management, namely finance manager, and was let go in February 2023.
