Dane Cook: Half Brother Going to Prison for Embezzling Millions from the Comedian

Dane CookEmbezzlement is no laughing matter.  Especially not after you get caught.

Dane Cook’s half brother, Darryl McCauley, will serve 5 to 6 months in prison for embezzling millions of dollars from the actor and comedian while he worked as his business manager.

The Boston Globe reports [via PEOPLE] that “Darryl McCauley pleaded guilty to 27 counts of larceny over $250, three counts of forgery, embezzlement and other charges.”

At one point Darryl even wrote himself a check for $3 million from Dane’s account.

Darryl first began transferring Dane’s money to his personal accounts in 2004, though he served as the comedian’s business manager from the early 1990’s until 2008.

A former corrections officer, Darryl will soon be spending time inside a cell, and will serve another 10 years probation after his release from jail.   He must also make restitution to Dane.

Dane Cook has not yet commented on his half brother’s sentence.
