It's March 27. This is Durham News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the story. Philadelphia Philly's third baseman, Alec Bohm, has filed a lawsuit against his parents, seeking millions and damages. He claims they move large sums from his personal accounts into ones they controlled, and then spin some on their own needs. The suit says his parents set up four limited liability companies back in 2019 to handle his investments, like securities, in real estate. By the time Bohm asked for details, they had already shifted millions into those accounts and cut off his access. Bohm's parents strongly deny any wrongdoing. Their lawyer says they've always acted in his best interest, that he had full access to the money, and they're even covering his current expenses with their credit cards. The lawsuit points out that the parents took a 10% stake in the accounts for administrative reasons and used funds from Bohm's foundation for. Personal costs Bohm, who is 29, wants at least $3 million back, full control of the accounts, and a full

accounting of every transfer. Meanwhile, the parents live in a recreational vehicle and travel full time. Bohm wouldn't comment after his team sees an opener, and both sides are gearing up for a fighting court.
