DoorDash Deception: Ex-Driver Admits Role in $2.59M Fake Delivery Scam!
A former DoorDash driver, Sayee Chaitanya Reddy Devagiri, has pleaded guilty to a scheme using fake accounts and insider access, netting $2.59 million for food that was never delivered. Clearly, this delivery was way more expensive than anyone anticipated!

Looks like this DoorDash driver took the phrase “delivering success” a bit too literally! Who knew a side hustle could come with a side of wire fraud? While some people are busy dreaming about free delivery, these folks were busy delivering free dreams. Maybe next time they’ll just stick to delivering pizzas!
