George Yaffe of Massachusetts sank $100,000 into Shkreli’s hedge fund, Elea Alpha, in 2007 at the urging of his son, Lee, who was pals with the then-future felon, court papers state.

Shkreli was convicted in March of defrauding investors, and Yaffee is suing him in Manhattan Supreme Court for the dough. Shkreli’s lawyer declined to comment.
