Maybe Dane Cook just thought a dollar didn't buy what it used to. Or maybe he was too focused on his upcoming Nassau Coliseum gig on May 3, 2009. How else could the comedian explain not knowing that his half brother was allegedly embezzling perhaps in excess of a million dollars from him?
Comedian Dane Cook discussed with Larry King the "terrible betrayal" by Darryl McCauley, his half brother, who is accused of embezzling from him. Cook's half brother allegedly did the embezzling while he was the comics manager. McCauley was arrested in December and faces larceny, forgery and other charges in Boston. McCauley allegedly transferred Cook's money into his own account. He is also accused of forging a $3 million dollar check written on Cook's account. The Massachusetts attorney general's office is pursuing the investigation. Meanwhile, McCauley is incarcerated awaiting trial. McCauley denies all wrong doing and has plead not guilty.

I may just show up at his gig. He sounds like he could use the money and I could use the laughs.

Winners, losers. Sibling rivalry. This has the makings of a pilot spinoff of Everyone Loves Raymond...
Dance your way to the poor house
Thats a lot of cash!
Seems to me that Dane may have turned a blind eye to the matter for a while. It reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend.
Me: Dude, you see your wife over there holding that big handsome man's hand?
Him: Yes, I have seen her with that gorilla several times.
Me: You gonna do something about it?
Him: Yes, but I am waiting for the right moment.
Me: Dude, right moment? What are you talking about.
Him: You know, the moment when she is with a much smaller guy.
Maybe his brother just felt a feeling of entitlement. You know, he thought Dane was not as funny as he and therefore he deserved a big cut of the profits.

What a great source of comedy jokes...
"Take my brother... literally take him away in chains."
"Now take my brother for instance... no you can't. The State of Massachusetts's has him."
With the potential new gags, maybe his brother really was entitled to compensation.

Yup reward a crook cause someone may of stole a joke?
Well, like Ellen and Mr. Bojangles, dance....
He looks like he needs a shave. Maybe the money is in his razor case!
Sounds like McCauley "danced" away with his brothers money.
Wonder if the IRS will come knocking next?
Maybe its karma......for Dane stealing Louis CK's set.
Joke thieves pay one way or another!
