COOK BREAKS SILENCE ABOUT HALF-BROTHER'S 'TERRIBLE BETRAYAL'

Comedian DANE COOK feels 'betrayed' by his half-brother after he was charged with embezzling millions of dollars from the star.

Dane Cook at Fallout 3 Videogame Launch Party held at LA Center Studios. Los Angeles, California USA - 16.10.08

Darryl McCauley, who worked as the funnyman's business manager, was arrested in Massachusetts in December (08), accused of siphoning off funds from Cook's fortune and forging a $3 million (£2 million) cheque to himself.

He has pleaded not guilty to eight counts of larceny over $250 (£170), forgery and larceny by continuous scheme and is currently being held behind bars as he awaits a pre-trial hearing.

Breaking his silence for the first time since the incident hit the headlines last year, Cook admits he is still in disbelief about McCauley's alleged actions - and is anxious for the case be over so he can move on with his life.

He says, "It's a terrible betrayal. I worked with my only half brother for several years. Woke up one day and a lot of stuff was missing. There is a good chunk of money that is certainly not accounted for. That's all I can say about it at this point.

"But hopefully justice will be served and I can move on with my life."
