Alec Bohm, a third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against his parents, alleging that they embezzled significant sums of his money into accounts they handled on his behalf and then used some of the money for personal needs.
Bohm filed his complaint in a Philadelphia court on Wednesday after he started looking into his financial and personal matters in recent months. He claimed that his parents had denied him access to the accounts and the information he needed about them.
According to the lawsuit, they attempted to “freeze” him out of four accounts that were set up as limited liability corporations. He now feels that they “converted a sizeable amount” of his money from those accounts “to their own use.”
According to the lawsuit, his parents had already moved millions of dollars from his personal accounts to the accounts under their control by the time he sought the information.
Daniel and Lisa Bohm, Bohm’s parents, denied any wrongdoing and stated through their attorney that they are “deeply saddened by the allegations” and will vigorously defend themselves.
According to a statement from their attorney, Robert Eckard, Alec Bohm has complete access to the accounts and his parents are using their personal credit cards to cover his costs.
Eckard stated:
“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,”
Bohm declined to react to media following Thursday’s 2026 season opener, stating:
“I’m not going to address any personal matters right now.”
According to both sides, the initial account was opened in 2019. According to Bohm’s lawsuit, his parents informed him that Bohm was the “true” owner of all the LLC’s assets and that they had given themselves a 10% ownership, just for administrative purposes.
