Here's the article on him: https://archive.ph/mUntA

Amit Patel is a degenerate gambler who stole $22,000,000 from his employer, the Jacksonville Jaguars, mostly loaded onto DFS sites for high stakes contests. From 2008-2014, he seemed to play poker on and off, but did cash in 2019 after nothing for five years, so it looks like he still played occasionally.

He was known as "parlaypicker" on DraftKings and FanDuel, and was thought to be notoriously bad. One of the things he did was "run trains", which in DFS means submitting a lot of entries with the exact same picks, hoping to win all of the top spots. This is considered a very -EV strategy.

He also sometimes would register for high stakes contests and forget to set lineups!

His titles during with the Jaguars were coordinator, financial planning and analysis, and then manager, financial planning and analysis, and he worked there for 5 years between 2018 and early 2023.

Nobody else was found to be involved in these thefts, and he did not have access to confidential team strategy or player data -- just financial stuff.
