A man who used to deliver food said he did something bad. 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. This is what the police said.

Sayee Chaitanya Reddy Devagiri said he was guilty of a crime in court, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

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

The police said Devagiri used customer accounts to order things. Then, he used a worker's password to get into DoorDash's system. He changed the orders to go to drivers he knew. These drivers said they delivered the orders, but they didn't. Devagiri changed the system to pay these drivers for deliveries that never happened, the police said.

Devagiri used the DoorDash app. He changed orders to say "not done" and gave them to drivers he knew. Then, they did the orders again, said the police.

The person who did the scam said they were wrong in court. This was in November 2023. They said they helped with the scam, police said.

Devagiri is the third person found guilty in this plan. He may have to stay in jail for 20 years and pay $250,000. He will come back to court on Sept. 16.
