Dane Cook is short $3 million, and his manager/half-brother is coincidentally $3 million richer.
Brother Darryl McCauley, 43, is facing charges of larceny by continuous scheme and forgery, for allegedly stealing millions from comedian/actor Cook, reports The Boston Globe.
The attorney general's office announced the charges against McCauley without identifying the "national entertainer with local ties" he allegedly bilked.
The Boston Globe reports that a friend of Cook's confirmed that McCauley was Cook's manager and state records identified McCauley as an official in Cook's company, Great Dane Enterprises, Inc. Cook's attorney Joseph Zwicker provided no comment, but said he planned to attend McCauley's arraignment on Wednesday, Dec. 31 in Woburn District Court in Mass.
McCauley was arrested Tuesday, Dec. 30. without incident at his home and assigned to the attorney general's office. The office said it began an investigation about two weeks ago.
McCauley allegedly stole money beginning in July 2007 up until this month -- once even forging a $3 million check from his client's account to himself, the attorney general's office said.
