Federal prosecutors detailed some of former Jacksonville Jaguars employee Amit Patel's extravagant spending.
Patel is accused of embezzling approximately $22 million from the NFL franchise.
Federal investigators allege that a significant amount of the money funded a “life of luxury.” According to a recent court filing, Patel purchased Tiger Woods' putter in 1996 and spent more than $78,000 on private air travel.
According to the court filing, a $275,000 retainer was paid to Patel's attorney, Alex King, with the embezzled funds. King claimed his client developed a gambling addiction and, as losses began to pile up, he used the fraudulently obtained money to pay off his debt.

King estimated that “99% of the embezzled funds” were used to subsidize gambling losses. However, authorities said Patel used approximately $5 million in personal expenses.
The documents showed that Patel transferred approximately $20 million to FanDuel and another $1 million to DraftKings. Patel is believed to have spent nearly $600,000 on various Apple items and more than $40,000 on Amazon and Best Buy combined.

The Jaguars fired Patel in early 2023, but he is accused of continuing to spend the stolen money even after his firing.
More than $9,000 in purchases from the Jaguars, the team's Pro Shop, the stadium club and the stadium also figured in Patel's transactions.
