Prosecutors allege Patel stole millions using the team’s virtual credit card system over four years.

Patel formerly worked as manager of financial planning and analysis for the team, the Jaguars previously told CNN.

He was the sole administrator for the Jaguars’ virtual credit card system, according to a court filing. A virtual credit card system works similarly to a traditional credit card account but without a physical card.

Prosecutors say Patel created an elaborate scheme to siphon money while avoiding detection between September 2019 and February 2023.

He used the money to fund an extravagant lifestyle, according to court documents. His fraud paid for online gambling, private travel and accommodation for himself and friends, sporting tickets, a new Tesla, a Nissan pickup truck, cryptocurrency and a property in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
