FDLE: Greed led Olympus Pools owner James Staten to steal $1.5 million

The FDLE said Olympus Pools owner James Staten stole $1.5 million from his customers between 2020 and 2021 and used the money to fund a high-roller lifestyle. FDLE Special Agent in Charge Mark Brutnell said Staten spent between $50,000 and $70,000 every month on trips and jewelry and paid more than $50,000 for Super Bowl tickets. “We were able to determine Staten moved money from his business accounts to his personal accounts to live a very lavish lifestyle,” Brutnell said.
