Baker Mayfield Sues Father’s Company Over $12 Million in Alleged Misuse of Funds

The NFL quarterback claims his father’s firm breached a settlement agreement to repay millions allegedly taken without authorization.

Baker Mayfield and his wife, Emily, filed a federal lawsuit against Camwood Capital Management Group, a company run by his father, James Mayfield, and brother, Matt Mayfield.
The lawsuit alleges that between 2018 and 2021, over $12 million was transferred from the Mayfields' accounts without authorization and used for operating expenses and acquisitions.
A January 2024 settlement required Camwood to repay $11.7 million plus interest, refinance an existing loan, and provide access to financial records, but none of these obligations have been met according to the lawsuit.
The Mayfields claim the defendants obscured information, avoided inquiries, and provided false explanations regarding the missing funds.
The legal dispute includes multiple companies tied to Camwood, with the Mayfields seeking repayment, interest, attorney fees, and additional costs.
