When the guy being trusted to manage money is the one mismanaging it... not that difficult to understand how it happened.

If it says anything about the franchise, it says that some execs on the business side made a poor decision to hire a man with a gambling problem to work in the teams finance department. And little else.

I think you're minimizing this too much.  Having this happen is a serious black eye for the people who are supposed to be managing the Jaguars' business operations.  No one should be given the ability to do what he did without it being detected way before it got to $22 million.  This is a serious lack of internal control.  

If you have somebody managing the money, then you need someone to watch the person who is managing the money.  Could be internal auditors, or external auditors.  Trust no one when it comes to money.
