The Jacksonville Jaguars are worth $2.1 billion. Money that arouses desire. Apparently also among employees of the NFL club. An employee is said to have systematically stolen money for years. He spent the millions in a cliché way.
Here an envelope, there a ballpoint pen – if one or two items end up in your work bag at the office and find their way home, it is often treated as a trivial offense. But what a former employee of the NFL club Jacksonville Jaguars has done in recent years goes beyond all dimensions of theft from his employer.
The man is said to have stolen more than $22 million (20.41 million euros) over a period of four years by manipulating the company’s internal credit card program. This emerges from documents available to a court in Florida. Although the Jaguars were not named there, the football team confirmed in a statement that it was the company affected. In addition, Jacksonville stated that it had already terminated the contract with the employee last February.
