Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and his wife are victims of a master con artist: according to Texas prosecutors, John Wright Martin stole millions from the Pitchfords after being hired as a personal assistant in 2014. Martin has a long criminal history, so It isn’t clear how he got the job. Police have no idea where he is.
By early 2015 Martin was charging his personal expenses to the Pitchfords' American Express business account. Purchases included designer clothes, jewelry, electronics, hotel stays, airfare and even Amazon movie rentals. He had a self-admitted "addiction to fine shoes and blazers." Photos on social media show him wearing top-of-the-line clothes in bold patterns and vibrant colors. In 2015, Martin bought a home in Frisco's tony Newman Village with a market value of $591,000.
