Phillies 3B Alec Bohm reportedly sues his parents for $3 million, alleging they funneled away money while managing his finances
Bohm filed the lawsuit the day before Opening Day.
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is suing his parents over allegations they defrauded him out of million of dollars while managing his finances, according to Nick Vadala of the Philadelphia Inquirer . The lawsuit was reportedly filed on Wednesday in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, one day before Bohm and the Phillies began their season with a 5-3 win over the Texas Rangers . Bohm went 1-for-3 with a homer and a walk.
In the lawsuit, Bohm reportedly alleges his parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, used a series of limited liability companies (LLCs) to funnel money out of his personal accounts, which they then “converted to their own use. ” Bohm is reportedly seeking a judgment of at least $3 million and, among other relief, an accounting of the funds in question. The elder Bohms denied the allegations through their attorney, via the Inquirer: “Mr.
and Mrs. Bohm love their son very much and have always acted in his best interests, both personally and professionally and still do so to this day,” said Robert Eckard, the pair’s attorney. “They are deeply saddened by the allegations made against them in this lawsuit and the sensational false narrative painted here, which they believe are entirely without merit.
” Bohm originally joined the Phillies as the third overall pick of the 2018 MLB Draft, signing for a bonus of $5. 85 million. Per Spotrac , he has made a total of $19.
