Crazy thing is, if that guy was willing to flip through broken glass; Tony would’ve given him the $22 million.
And a match with the Young Fucks on Collision
@brettrossi034 whoa whoa whoa that's the Cucamonga kids to you 😂
@@giac13 you mean the Dumb Fucks and Lenny Tortega?

Comment of the year
Danielson: "Don't worry Tony, I'll give him a fine."
Danielson is so beat up and riddled with concussions he might actually try and fine the guy.
😂😂😂
This made me laugh way too hard. Thanks.
😆 🤣 😂
Dam not the Bryan Danielson fine 😂😂
It will be the hardest decision he ever had to make.
This guy probably could have saved himself a slew of criminal charges by applying as an AEW wrestler...
Or try and befriend Jericho or the Bucks. Same thing.
LOL. 😂
You guys need to get off WWE's 🥒 you riding it better than a female
The amount of free advice that Jim provides Tony is fucking amazing.
Its not free advice jim is just a WWE employee resding a script
Falls on deaf ears.
They offered him a job which he turned down, yet he still provides the guidance he would if there. Of course, its ignored.
@@detmorales9151If you even half believe that then you're either insane or an ABSOLUTE MθRθN.
Jim Cornette is what he got, but what Tony Khan really needed was Ernie Ladd! "Boy, what kind of accounting was that? You're stealing from the Jacksonville Jaguars running the books like that!"
I guess now we know why the Jags cable bill didn’t get paid 😂😂😂
But the records showed it was paid four times. 😆
It could be worse. Their cable company could have been charter spectrum.
There's tons of money being stolen at AEW as well...by about 85% of the roster.
You need to get off WWE's 🥒 you riding it better than a female
Making WCW and ECW look like NWA and AWA in comparison.
The BOSS decides how to use his toys if he wants to buy them and leave them in the box that's his choice
@@danpietila6555Yep it's his choice. Pretty sure everyone understands that. See the point is that the choices Tony makes tend to be dumb as fμ©k.
He is just the spoiled son of a billionaire with no experience managing any company he has positions wiith the soccer and football teams they own and from all accounts is not good at them either. Plus even if he had experience in the wresting business he has way too much he is involved in and his ego is so huge he will not hire the right people with the right experience to help him. All the people around him are either woefully inexperienced or just using him for a paycheck
The defendant Patel, allegedly went by the Alias "Orange Cassidy" to avoid suspicion from the Khan family.
The Bucks only take 2 mil a year each from Tony but this guy takes theft to the next level.
Their getting 2 mil EACH a YEAR???!!!!!?????
@@jroc133 I'm surprised it's only that much, to be honest.
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma - true...
I don't think this guy that they're talking about is the only one who is lining his pockets at the Khan's expense. I didn't realize but I think it is a systemic problem.
That guy must be a better hugger than the Bucks
So what someone stole $50 million from Tony Khan and said they made a video game with it.
90% of the wrestlers in AEW are stealing from Tony Khan. So that guy just figured that he should partake in it as well
It’s crazy how much money there is in the NFL that it took them this long to notice
I read somewhere in the nadir point of the Detroit Lions, they could still make money even playing a completely empty arena because of all the lucrative cable/PPV deals (revenue sharing of sorts in the NFL & other deals). Players union also fold like a cheap suit likely plays a factor.
@tomvu1470 Makes sense, NFL games were 82 of the 100 most watched TV broadcasts in America in 2022
@@tomvu1470 Every NFL team turned a profit in 2020 with no fans.
A perfect example of how lucrative ownership of a NFL team is just look at the sale price of the Washington Redskins/commanders and the Denver Broncos
@@gullreefclubmy Carolina Panthers are terrible this season and you should see how the fanbase complain about pricing for the record we have.
Is this why they couldn't pay their DirectTV bill?
It’s not “he didn’t think Anyone would notice.” It’s “he didn’t think Tony Khan would notice.” 2 EXTREMELY different circumstances.
Tony Khan could have used that $22 million for his cocaine budget...for approximately a month. lel
You know Shad Khan is rollin in it when the jacksonville jaguars is his side hustle.
80% if sports franchises are either a long term investment or a passion project. The Jags are Shad's AEW.
He also has a soccer team with tony
SHAHID
fwiw, for most owners in the NFL, their teams are side hustles
Tax shelters
He was able to get away with it for so long because they thought that lost money was from money spent on aew
Yes! He probably just said that was his salary for wrestling on AEW Dark? Nobody could prove he DIDN’T?!
Perfect!😂😂
He didn't think anyone would notice 22 million dollars missing? 🤣🤣
He got away with it for this long so pretty much lmao
Tony khans dad is a billionaire it’s nothing to him
@@zachaddington5264 even for a billionaire 22 million is something. 22 grand is nothing.
@@TheFailedmessiah22 million dollars is nothing to a billionaire. It's like the average American losing 22 cents.
@@catsabotage3362 false. They’ll feel it. Out it in perspective. Let’s say you have 5 billion dollars, that’s 5000 million. Now break that down in regular people dollars, say you have 5000 dollars in your bank account, if you lost 22 dollars would you notice? Now that I spell this out, maybe you’re right. Hence why it went unnoticed but it’s not like 22 cents to them, it’s more like 22 dollars. Lol
I'm dying at the picture of Tony & Shad on the wall LMAO!!!!!!!
Shad looking a little like Saddam Hussein though. 😂
Glad to see someone getting back some of what the Jaguars stole from me as a Season Ticket Holder for twenty some years.
In 5 years he stole 22 million?
Well.... well done. Not bad, I gotta say.
I'd agree, but for the simple fact that he got caught.
@@MaggieKeizaiyeah after 3 or 4 years he should've emigrated. Changed his name. Amateur lol
@@MaggieKeizaiif he stashed some of the cash, it's still worth it.
So... he's stolen almost as much as Balding Buck and Road Warrior Buck?
@@lanceortmann4157 The Prematurely-Balding Middle Aged Bucks stole more than that. They even stole Tony's heart.
You just wait till the disciplinary committee hears of this.
You mean the discipline committee the doest really exist? Yeah those guys will do a WONDERFUL JOB
I can guarantee you Omega pocketed some of that video game money...
I don't see how it would of ended up in his personal bank account beyond the money he got paid to help develop it.
@@SteelSundaythere are ways to squirrel money away
Im sure theyre stealing more in AEW with all those contracts
Is Danielson going to fine someone for this?
"It's only money."---The Elite and Chris Jericho
It's always people with money who say that
The guy who did this was put in charge of their virtual credit card program with NO oversight by anyone in the organization. NONE. This was a recipe for disaster.😂
He got too greedy
@@royalty843 Who wouldn't?😂
Be but he was a really GREAT friend doing GREAT work until he got caught by the GREAT inspector Khandget.
I could be worth 100 billion and you better believe I'd still notice $22 million just walking away
And they aren’t worth 100 billion.
Notice 22 cents
@@xoynialedmcesoentill6034 exactly
actually, if you were worth 100B, you WOULD NOT notice 22M missing. Don't be absurd. 22M is barely a grain of sand compared to 100B.
@@Kalbuir66 No, I'd definitely notice because I'd be paying a third party to check up on this shit for me. The Jags have a reputation of being cheap as fuck and this is another example, either they didn't hire an independent accountant to go over their books or they hired some job guy accountant. Shahid Khan is the AFC's Dan Snyder.
Jim hit the nail on the head about using a cart in every damn stadium match 😂
Dude probably had a couple carts to cart the millions away
"Someone in FL turned down a golf cart" - Brian Last... Let me just say that Jacksonville is a different world than North Cuba (South Florida)
And he used the team 's golf cart to carry the money to his condo 😂
TK got so many problems it’s unreal
That man has a curse over his head, I swear.
@@jakebreaker sounds like your garden variety trust fund kid with a wealthy father
@@jakebreakernah just bad decisions.
@@evanclealand9231dude stealing 22 mil from you is bad luck tho
When a Kid does a man's job.
Brian Last hit the nail on the head about the problems with AEW. For Shahid Khan, he doesn't need to run AEW like a business. So touting ticket sales yet AEW as a whole having lower attendance is not a problem. So losing CM Punk back to the WWE or losing $22 million for financial fraud won't affect Shahid Khan and his ownership of a patent. Until Khan loses his patent, Tony Khan will continue to run AEW as he is now.
AEW is a tax write off, a cost center if you will, to daddy khan. But at some point, he’s going to want to see some positive results. I’m sure he’s not in it to always lose money. Then again, maybe it’s how he keeps his coked up son from getting into real trouble. This is how he keeps him busy
To give more background, despite Brian making a joke about the writers’ names, there are very few people I would want writing a story about my organization less (yes, I mean less) than Katie Strang. She’s an exceptional investigative sports journalist and has written some absolute bombshell pieces. Her integrity has been outstanding, so if her name is on the piece it’s been thoroughly researched before publication.
She's been on the cutting edge in hockey for a long time, a real one for sure.
No, you meant 'more', unless the statement you made should've read "...there are a lot of people I would want less". Saying there are few people you want less implies that you really don't want the person to whom you're referring. It's a comparative statement saying that few others are as unwanted as this person.
And yes, Katie Strang is indeed an exceptional sports journalist.
@@nickcrawford2456 hey man. Obviously he meant that "Katie Strang exposes awful shit" therefor, if she's writing a piece on your team, it means bad news for your team.
@@nickcrawford2456 what you said is exactly what I intended. She’s reported numerous instances of various sports professionals doing awful things, so she’s one of the last people I’d want investigating my organization because it means I or someone else has done awful things while working for it. For the Khan family, at least this wasn’t about wrongdoing on their part and more embarrassing than anything else.
@@flyervoracek5954that’s why she’s the last person you want reporting on your franchise. To millionaires, bring embarrassed is worse than losing money.
" Football Field Fuckery" classic
Malakai Black then ran up to the QB and shouted “NO ONE IS COMING FOR YOU!”
12:09 Patel: "Everything looks good this month, Tony" 😁👍
this guy made more effort than the young bucks for the same money taken
Assuming this dude gets caught, somebody should reach out to CNBC & have an episode of 'American Greed' done on these allegations/accusations.
This artwork is making me laugh. Shahid Khan looks like Rick Rood with a goofier mustache 😂😂😂😂
This dude pulled a Dan Mahoney. Mahoney was a young banking executive in Toronto in 1980 who started embezzling money to cover his gambling, and stole 10 mil. Great movie called owning Mahoney with Phillip Seymore Hoffman. Dude on the Jags went even bigger.
Nah, $10,000,000 in 1980 money is $39,546,401 in 2023 dollars. He's got to pick it up a bit.
Brian’s asks where all the money is going in AEW- I wonder if Colin Thomson manages their online presence? 😂
Colin Thomson dodging questions harder than TK on CM Punk
You don't even have to be an indie wrestler to trick TK out of his lunch money.
These thumbnails always get me. Travis is the GOAT
There's an engineering firm that I do work for where the secretary that had been with them for close to 30 years since they started had embezzled over $2.5 million dollars in a few years, and they stopped counting because it was more. She was the businesses check writer. So if the company bought plane tickets to send someone to a worksite she'd put it on the ledger twice as two different transactions and then pocket that second check and process that to herself as payroll.
So if they bought plane tickets for someone to go to a meeting for $300 she'd put it down twice and pocket that $300 check. Then she would deposit it as part of her payroll check.
Thats what i believe is going on when i go to the Doctor's or Dentist's office, getting double charged and then when i ask why, the 2nd charge just magically goes away.
Travis brings the thunder once again. 😂
It's ironic that it took a Jaguar 4 years to catch a thief. They're supposed to be a lot faster than that.
Why would a banana grab another banana? Those are the kinds of questions I don't want to answer.
Well, it's a Jaguar. It can only go a couple hundred miles before the electrical system goes on the fritz.
Have you seen their draft picks?
@@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma This is scientifically true! Same with Cheetah's. Except Cheetah's only got 60 seconds worth of speed in the tank.
@@juicyfruit6311 Other than Trevor, not impressed.
The framed photo of Shad and Tony is brilliant stuff from Travis
Considering the fact that Kenny Omega got him for more money, for that game, I could see how they didn't notice.
A lot more common than we care to admit. Corporations spend obscenely on executive perks and those executives milk it for all its worth.
They need to audit the books at AEW😂😂
9:58 - Bischoff signed Bret Hart to "collect" him
There’s no doubt in my mind that Jericho has been taking advantage of Tony’s open checkbook.
$22M over 4 years?
Tony must burn through that with AEW every 6 months.
Financial Coordinator coordinating your finances straight to his pocket.
Papa Khan should have hired a CPA, they take an oath.
Tony's dipping into the savings again
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was Tony stealing money from the jaguars to finance AEW
Corny looks like the burglars in the mansion from cinnabar island. If you know, you know 😂
How, exactly do you manage to steal $22,000,000 from an NFL team & get away with it?...
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
The Jags have an annual revenue of $500M, or an average of $42M per month. $250K is a variance of 0.5% per month. At that level, that’s nothing. Take a chunk here and a chunk there and nobody is the wiser.
When you have 150 - 200 people in your roster that are "making 5 times more than they're used to" then that's where all the money is going. They're constantly paying people who aren't even working. Cut all the freeloaders.
The perpetrator may very well be a distant family member, by blood or by marriage. I've worked for a few first-generation Americans whose families emigrated from India, in the hospitality industry, and family is like glue for them.
Is it really freeloading if they aren't being put to work though
That explains why Danielson is administering fines. To recoup the losses.
As soon as I heard what Jim Cornette was reading around 4:33-4:42, I immediately thought to myself "Genius." & "Clever!...".
There's a precedent here: Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery. I haven't got to the end yet (and in all honesty, I'm going to tap out long before that point) but I reckon I've got a handle on this whole elaborate ruse.
Flair turns up dressed in a kaleidoscopic projected hologram and starts peddling energy drinks laced with zombie virus. Daphne's seen better days but I'd still buy her flowers. You've got a vampire cowboy drinking blood live on television. Wembley Stadium is an outlet for the mass importation of counterfeit bubblegum. The devil in the man-mask is none other than ...
Mr. McMahon?!?
And he'd have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those pesky, meddling mutts.
still a change compared to how many hundreds of millions of dollars AEW has lost
They'll get their money back plus more if they agree to invest in a podcast scheme.
So many "talents" in AEW have stolen millions for 4 yrs
There are people on the AEW roster that are stealing money too without even needing to pull a bunglary but instead just flipping around and no selling
AEW and now this. The hits just keep on coming for the Khans. At this point I wouldnt put them in charge of running a hotdog stand. I posted this news on a few wrestling posts yesterday and people were wondering what this had to do with Tony Khan(co-owner of The Jaguars) and AEW? I just laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed....
The Bucks has had Tony’s virtual credit card for years and TK hadn’t said or done a damn thing.
Patel was having the best run of his career😊
After hearing this, it's safe to say the Khan family thinks a banana costs $10.
This is crazy lol this is my first time hearing this lol Tony and shad Khan's face in the artwork as Jim is going to open the safe has me dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When Brian kept saying Where’s the money going? I was thinking about Chris Rock’s bit about the Jerry Lewis telethon- “Where’s the money going? Where the f***’s the money going? What? To keep Jerry’s hair black? Think about it. Frank Sinatra’s dead, Dean Martin’s dead, Sammy Davis Jr.’s dead. Jerry Lewis has a full head of black hair.”
honestly good for him. Corporate big wigs wipe their ass with 22 mil
Those were good ass wipes! The kind you could taste through your butt checks! With this setback Tony and Shaid were reduced to using cloth and paper like everyone else!
@@insupportofjunhado 🤣
There's always a paper trail.
Your pfp is amazing
Wait…
WHAT?!?
22million?
I have to disagree with Brian...... There is absolutely no justification to give Moxley one million dollars.
Wait for Meltzer to blame this on CM Punk.
Tony over there dressing like Orange Cassidy, walking around game day with his wrestling booking notepad, some guy was probably thinking "I'm gonna soak these motherfuckas."
Brian Last poses a very good question around 8:44-8:47.
Jim Cornette, the Owners of the sports teams have been stealing money for years with local tax money paying for building their Stadiums, Stadium upkeeps, and Sports Complexes for years and years. $22 Million is just a drop in the bucket from what the Sports Owners have stolen from the local areas.
40 year old virgins are like, why even own a football team when you have rasslin?
Paul Heyman was quoted "good attempt, but amateur. No subtlety, no actual scheming."
There's got to be a few guys in TBS/Time Warner skimming money off the top of Tony. This guy has enough money to rent out basketball arenas constantly with 1/9th of their max capacity, and only 900k viewers. There's got to be some behind the scenes shakedowns to keep AEW going with guys lining up their pockets
Might be a front for money laundering. Which would make a lot more sense in AEW's case.

The funniest thing about that was hardly anyone in the crowd knew what he was talking about there! That’s how much AEW and the baby wrestlers matter to most actual wrestling fans!
I hate to pile on Tony, but how does that happen? At the company I work for, they would notice that $50 was missing within 24 hours, and would address it. This guy was stealing at least $100K at a time. How do they not notice that? That is absolutely amazing. Tony should definitely have a long talk with the person that does their accounting. Yikes.
Because the Jags franchise alone is worth $4B, and Shahid Kahn is worth $11B. You’re talking a variance of 0.0025%. That’s a rounding error at that level.
I work for a Fortune 250 company building forecasting models and algorithms. We have over $11B in income per year and a market cap of over $13B. I once made an error in a model that cost the company $350K in a day. The response from my boss, the director he reports to and the COO…”Clean it up for next time and don’t let it get you down. On to the next one.”
To an individual, yeah, that’s a pile of money. To a corporation that has billions of dollars in transactions annually, 100K is a rounding error.
Moxley does NOT deserve 7 figures. If he was doing more than playing with blood in the ring, then he would be. He felt like a placeholder every single time he had the title because all he did was fight random people and cut himself open.
Worst part is I actually liked him as Dean Ambrose, I thought he would do great in aew 😂
@@thegarbagefly I liked him in the Shield, but his career was dead as soon as he went solo. He blamed it on WWE, but he's been even worse in AEW. Him and Bryan have said many times that they're just there to play.
This is actually the least interesting thing that has happened to the Jacksonville Jaguars
I wonder if he would've gotten away with it if he would've stoped at 10 million?
Trevor Lawrence refused the cart joke was good😂🎉🎉
Record sales is based on extra revenue from WBD for Collision but the bottom dollar is net profit meaning this was the first year since day 1 they made a profit but still are in massive debt due to production costs, base salary and Tony’s salary
Same team that wasted money on Urban Meyer...
Drafted Leonard fournette with Mahomes available
@@terrencewesterman851 The goddamned Bills traded away that pick and instead drafted a turnover machine because he played in winter games at Wyoming. That's not even a Power 5 school.
Tony is becoming a bigger joke every week. He also called the company WCW. 🤣
If you're worth $11 billion you deserve to have a little money stolen here and there.
To answer Brian’s question about how the jaguars are run, in 2014 they had one of the best teams in the league. In 2015 they had 2 starters from the 2014 team on the roster.
Much like how the Marlins were run too.
If I heard a vague headline about someone fleecing the Jags for that much money, I'd think it was just another failed free agent signing 🤷♂️
Office space come to life
Lol, for a minute there I thought the other guy in the photo on the wall was Rick Rude.
I was thinking the other day when I was reading this that this revelation pales in comparison to what's going on in AEW.
Maybe Daddy needs to do an investigation into the goings-on of his son's business. Because for The last 5 years all of his employees in aew have been fleecing him.
The first person they need to handcuff and take away is Chris Jericho followed by the Young bucks, Mcfinger bang and the rest of the all friends wrestling.
Assuming this dude gets caught, somebody should reach out to CNBC & have an episode of 'American Greed' done on these allegations/accusations.
In fairness, I'm a big fan of 'American Greed' & I, personally would love to see an episode of 'American Greed' based off of said accusations/allegations, but, that's another story for another day...
