A man who used to deliver food said he did something wrong. He worked with others to take money from DoorDash. They made DoorDash pay for food that was not delivered. They took more than $2 million, say the police.

Sayee Chaitanya Reddy Devagiri said he was guilty in court. He did something bad with money, the court said.

Devagiri, 30, from Newport Beach, California, said he worked with three friends in 2020 and 2021 to trick a delivery company in San Francisco, police said.

The police said Devagiri used customer accounts to make big orders. Then, he used a worker's password to get into DoorDash's system. He changed the orders to go to driver accounts that he and his friends had. These fake drivers said they delivered the orders, but they did not. Devagiri made the DoorDash system pay these fake drivers for deliveries that never happened, police said.

Devagiri used DoorDash. He changed the orders to say "not done". Then, he gave them to drivers he knew, officers said.

The worker said they were wrong about a plan to trick people in 2023. They said they did it with others, said the police.

Devagiri is the third person found guilty in this plan. He may go to prison for 20 years and pay $250,000. He will be in court again on Sept. 16.
