From 2013-2019, a USGA employee in the ticketing department stole 23,000 tickets worth $3.4M and sold them (himself) to a pair of eastern PA ticket re-selling companies.

U.S. Open tickets worth $3.4M were stolen by an employee who resold them for profit, feds say

Federal prosecutors said Robert Fryer, a former assistant director of open admissions for the USGA, made more than $1 million by reselling the purloined tickets.

This happens with concerts all the time. It doesn’t surprise me, but it is infuriating because prices just go up.
