Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox, allegedly lost millions of dollars to his personal assistant

According to a recent report, Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford reportedly lost more than $ 3 million to an assistant who had been working for Pitchford and his wife for only a few years. According to the charges, John Wright Martin is the man in question and he fears a lot of money that would have been stolen from a lot of people. But the judicial process is at a standstill because the type can not even be found.

This turbulent story comes from Dallas News, who reports that John Wright Martin is accused of stealing millions of dollars from several unfortunate parties, to finance his lavish style of expensive clothing, furniture, travel and holidays, not to mention a house nearly $ 600,000. Randy and Kristy Pitchford are on the list of reported victims. Randy Leads Gearbox Software, The Studio Behind Success Borderlands series, misfortune Warrior-born and more. Kristy is the driving force behind Nerdvana Frisco, a café she owns and operates in Frisco, Texas.

In 2014, the Pitchfords hired John Wright Martin as a personal assistant, earning him $ 45,000 a year. According to the charges, it was only a fraction of the money that Martin would have gotten from the couple over the next few years. According to the records, Martin started using the Pitchford account for his personal expenses during his first year of work. Among the items listed, you'll find everything from movie rentals to designer clothes, electronics, vacations, and more.

In fact, in the first year, John Wright Martin purchased the $ 591,000 worth of the aforementioned house, and additional funds were spent to organize expensive evenings and expensive evenings. One event mentioned in the reports was a mere bar tab of $ 657 that resonated he shot the movie ready to buy a photo of alcohol for everyone in the building.

According to Randy Pitchford, the couple still discovers expenses for which Martin used his account. He says the situation has not "ruined" his family, but that their initial estimates of $ 700,000 of misused spending were wrong and that their total amount actually exceeds $ 3 million.

According to the initial report, Martin was contacted by the Pitchfords and told them that there was a simple confusion of account and that he would refund any money lost to them because of snafu. That money never came, and Martin has since gone off the radar. And the couple is not the only group of alleged victims, and this story is full of other people who have experienced similar experiences and who would have lost significant sums of money to profit from Martin. What is rather positive is that Martin would have given important chunks of change to some charities, but, as the Dallas News points out, it was not his money to donate.

Martin only worked for the Pitchfords for a few years and he was already out of their lives when a recent pay error occurred, stating that their accounts were unable to cover everything. That's what led them to look at the numbers, that is to say when they discovered all these nonsensical charges that, it seems, came from Martin who had misused their funds.
