On the internet, news has arisen that Dane Cook’s half-brother, Darryl Mccauley, has died. It’s just a hoax.

Darryl Mccauley is most known for being Dane Cook’s half-brother, who was charged with fraud.

Dane is a well-known stand-up comedian and film actor from the United States. ‘Harmful If Swallowed,’ his debut comedy album, debuted at number two on the Billboard Comedy Album rankings in 2003. Over the following seven years, he followed up that triumph with four number one albums and another number two.

With money like that rolling in, Dane needed someone he could trust, and his brother Darryl was just the person he needed.

Later, though, he learned something about his half-brother Darryl that prompted the comedian to imprison his own family.

Darryl Mccauley: Dane Cook’s Brother Story

Dane Cook entrusted Darryl with his money management throughout the height of his success until 2008, when it was found that Darryl and his wife had embezzled millions of dollars from Dane.

Following that, the Boston Globe reported in 2010 that Darryl pled guilty to embezzling millions from his renowned half-bro while acting as his business manager. He was sentenced to five to six years in a Massachusetts state prison for this offense.

According to the Attorney General in a statement released following the trial. Darryl easily moved money from Dane Cook’s bank accounts to his own or just wrote huge cheques to himself,

Darryl poured millions of dollars into his own accounts during that period. Darryl was then forced to reimburse Dane $12 million by the court.

In the meantime, Darryl was sentenced to five to six years in jail. His wife received a sentence of a few years in jail as well.

Despite the fact that his brother cheated him out of millions of dollars and despite the fact that he is still doing well financially. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he still has $35 million in the bank.
