For an observational comedian, Dane Cook doesn't have a very good eye for certain situations.

Like, say, when his own brother is robbing him blind.

The Boston Business Journal and TMZ report that Cook's brother/manager, Darryl McCauley, was arrested by Massachusetts state police today after allegedly stealing millions from his brother/client.

McCauley, a 43-year-old resident of Wilmington, Massachusetts, is scheduled to be charged with two counts of larceny over $250, forgery, and larceny by continuous scheme. He had handled Cook's business affairs from the early 1990s until this month. The arrest came after a two-week investigation by the Massachusetts Attorney General's office.

According to investigators, McCauley took his famous sibling for millions. In one instance alone, he's believed to have forged a $3 million check and deposited it in his own account.

In other news, Dane Cook has somehow made at least $3 million. McCauley will be arraigned tomorrow in Woburn District Court.

It's doubtful that 36-year-old Employee of the Month star Cook is finding the humor in the situation.

“We’ve all felt cheated by Dane Cook over the years, as he robbed so very many of us of our good moods and laughter, so it only seems fitting that someone would rob him too.  Except in this case they didn’t steal millions of smiles, they stole millions of dollars.…”
