Roxy’s Arcade, a popular gaming spot in Cambridge, said Monday it would close until further notice after revelations that an employee allegedly “misappropriated tens of thousands of dollars” and left other bills unpaid. James DiSabatino, the owner of Roxy’s Grilled Cheese & Burgers, the Central Square restaurant which has hosted the speakeasy-style arcade in back of its shop since 2017, wrote on social media that a senior manager had been terminated after the alleged financial issues came to light.
