Baker Mayfield sues father for $12 million over alleged fund misuse

Baker Mayfield is suing his father, James Mayfield, for $12 million, claiming that an investment firm misused funds from him and his wife. The lawsuit alleges that over $12 million was transferred without authorization from 2018 to 2021. The complaint, filed in Texas, names several defendants, including Mayfield's brother, Matt. It accuses them of failing to provide proper documentation and avoiding inquiries about the missing funds. Mayfield, now the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, alleges that he was the main source of funding for the firm but received nothing in return. The lawsuit claims that the defendants have been deceptive in their explanations regarding the financial misconduct.
