Breaking news: Baker Mayfield sues own father, claiming he…..

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield filed a lawsuit against his own father for $12 million stemming from an apparent contract issue with his dad’s company.

Mayfield accused his father’s company, Canwood Capital, of transferring the money from Mayfieldand his wife “without authorization” from 2018 to 2021.

According to the lawsuit, the two parties reached a settlement in January in which Mayfield’s father, James, would pay nearly all of it back, but Mayfield says he has not received any of it.

The first payment of $250,000 was due on Sept. 30, but Mayfield never got it, the suit says.

“Once Plaintiffs began to uncover Defendants’ misconduct and sought answers to explain the taking of their assets, Defendants attempted to obscure the relevant information, avoided Plaintiffs’ inquiries, and invented fictional explanations for their actions…” the suit read

It is now clear that Defendants had no intention of making Plaintiffs whole when they entered into the Settlement Agreement. To date, Canwood Capital has not repaid even one dollar under the Settlement Agreement, Defendants have failed to refinance their existing loan, and Defendants have not provided Plaintiffs with access to their books and records… In other words, Defendants have satisfied none of their obligations and have refused even to respond to Plaintiffs’ outreaches about those breaches.”
