Alec Bohm declines to comment on report he is suing his parents

Alec Bohm declined to comment on his lawsuit against his parents after the Phillies’ 5-3 Opening Day win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday.

“I’m not gonna address any personal matters right now,” said Bohm, who went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run, when asked about the lawsuit, first reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Bohm, according to the Inquirer, is “alleging (his parents) defrauded him of millions of dollars under the guise of managing his financial affairs.”

Alec’s parents, Daniel and Lisa Bohm, are alleged to have used limited liability companies to take money from his personal financial accounts to use for themselves. The suit was filed on Wednesday in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, reports the Inquirer, and “seeks a judgement of at least $3 million, as well as an accounting of the funds in question, among other relief.”

Daniel and Lisa denied wrongdoing through their attorney, according to the Inquirer.

Alec’s parents set up a pair of LLCs in 2019, which is when this is all alleged to have started. The companies were started to contain the money and assets Alec made from being a professional baseball player.

The lawsuit says Daniel and Lisa eventually gained access to Alec’s personal financial accounts after telling him they needed to take a 10 percent interest in the LLCs to be authorized representatives of his interests, according to the Inquirer.

Daniel and Lisa are alleged to have limited the amount of money put into Alec’s personal accounts while transferring the rest of the money into the accounts under the companies’ names, which they legally had access to. Alec’s parents assured him he would retain everything the companies’ accounts contained.

According to the Inquirer, “the lawsuit alleges that Bohm’s parents ‘converted to their own use’ an undetermined amount of money from those accounts, and used money from the Alec Bohm Foundation — which they also established — to ‘pay their own personal expenses.'”

Daniel and Lisa created two more limited liability companies in 2024 and took more money after Alec purchased a property. According to the Inquirer, the suit says Daniel and Lisa mentioned the cost of liabilities related to the property and that they had been paid for. But Alec now thinks those costs were stated as being more than they actually were to “misappropriate a portion of monies.”

After Alec asked his parents to give him information regarding his finances in January, Daniel and Lisa “engaged counsel”, according to the Inquirer. They allegedly later indicated they would bill Alec for the times they worked on their son’s affairs.

Alec is now asking the court to order his parents to give back any money they used for personal purposes and to “pay a sum certain to Alec to make Alec whole,” according to the Inquirer. He also wants full control of all the LLCs involved and for a certified public accountant to determine all damages sustained throughout the time period.
