Delivery driver pleads guilty to stealing $2.5m from DoorDash
Briefly

Sayee Chaitanya Reddy Devagiri pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy in a significant scam involving DoorDash. Along with three co-conspirators, he exploited customer accounts to make high-value orders and manipulated DoorDash's software to indicate these orders were delivered, despite no deliveries taking place. This fraudulent activity, which occurred between 2020 and 2021, resulted in losses exceeding $2.5 million. Devagiri, facing a potential sentence of 20 years, is one of multiple defendants involved in this large-scale conspiracy against the food delivery service.
Devagiri and his co-conspirators fraudulently reported non-existent deliveries, manipulating DoorDash's system to extract over $2.5 million through wire fraud.
The scheme involved using customer accounts to place orders and then hijacking delivery statuses to improperly pay fraudulent driver accounts for deliveries that never occurred.
