Jacksonville Jaguars | Ex-employee faces legal action after stealing $22million from team

A former financial manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Amit Patel, is facing serious legal consequences after being accused of embezzling over $22million from the franchise.

The alleged fraudulent activities took place through the team's virtual credit card program over a period spanning from 2019 to 2023.

Patel, who worked with the Jaguars for five years, now faces charges of wire fraud and illegal monetary transactions, potentially leading to the forfeiture of ill-gotten assets.

The seven-page court filing, recently submitted in the U.S. District Court in Jacksonville, outlines the accusations against Patel. The court documents detail how Patel, employed by the Jaguars from 2018 to 2023, exploited his position as the manager of financial planning and analysis to carry out significant fraudulent financial activities for personal gain.
