Amit Patel, a midlevel finance manager, has pleaded guilty to stealing $22 million through a virtual credit card system the Jaguars used for expenses. Sources with knowledge of the case told ESPN that Patel lost about $20 million of the funds on daily fantasy and sports bets at FanDuel, which had assigned him a VIP host. He lost about $1 million on DraftKings, sources said.
Patel siphoned the funds over 3½ years, according to federal court documents. In December, he pleaded guilty to fraud charges in federal court in Jacksonville, Florida. He faces up to 30 years in prison and a $500,000 fine when he is sentenced March 12.
Online records show Patel was a high-stakes and high-volume daily fantasy player on FanDuel and DraftKings, both of which are official betting partners of the NFL. Patel played daily fantasy sports as far back as 2017, the records show, and his play escalated in 2021 and 2022. ESPN previously reported that Patel played daily fantasy under the username "ParlayPicker" and was believed to have racked up big losses playing against elite competition in contests with buy-ins upward of $24,000.
One veteran daily fantasy player told ESPN on condition of anonymity that they believe ParlayPicker is "the biggest loser ever on FanDuel."
"He was legendarily bad," the person said.
Sources said FanDuel alerted the NFL to Patel's betting in January 2023 after he placed traditional sports bets in Tennessee. The amounts and types of wagers that triggered the investigation are unknown. The Jaguars had no knowledge of the embezzlement scheme or Patel's extensive daily fantasy habit until they were notified by the NFL, team and league sources said.

This is like when John 'Elon' Musk made himself the default option on the twitter search bar. Truly kafkaesque. I think that Aevann is a horrible narcissist who cannot cope with a reality where he is not the majority of the world's friends. It's truly horrifying. And I hope that he gets some therapy or at the very least kills himself so our suffering can end. But I think that everyone aware of the man's situation understands that this too is a fruitless proposition - Aevann will continue their march until there is nothing less than total RDrama Subjugation under his iron heel. And we're going to let it happen, not because we want to, but because we can't get rid of the bastard. He created rdrama.net, and he's the only one who can truly understand its inner workings and machinations. Maybe that's why we must always hate and oppose him, because of we ever let our guard down, the Aevann will be let loose and destroy this final bastion of Internet Sovereignty.
