According to a lawsuit filed by her employer, a Los Angeles attorney stole $10.2 million from her law firm to fund a six-month gambling and partying frenzy in Las Vegas.
Sara Jacqueline King falsified multimillion-dollar loans from British Virgin Islands firm LDR International Limited between January 2022 and October of that year, according to the lawsuit filed in California earlier this month.
The money was supposed to go to fictitious third-party borrowers, the lawsuit says.

“King Lending’s alleged loans to the third-party borrowers were allegedly secured by various types of collateral, including but not limited to luxury automobiles, boats, yachts, jewelry, watches, bullion coins and the proceeds of guaranteed professional sports contracts,” the lawsuit reads.
King used the money to move into the Wynn Las Vegas resort, lived there for six months and “gambled around the clock,” the lawsuit says. It said King’s former husband, Kamran Pahlavi, “confirmed” LDR’s claims and fled to Morocco.
Included in the complaint are photos of King with high-profile athletes, including retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady and NFL stars Aaron Rogers, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
The images were “part of King’s efforts to build the plaintiff’s trust in King regarding her connections, her lifestyle and her ties to high-profile athletes as part of her fraud and scheme,” the lawsuit says.

“They showcase the lavish lifestyle she led, jewelry, cars and the image she wanted to portray, and she is a successful California Attorney,” the filing reads.

“Additionally, King recently presented evidence that she only has $11.98 in her name,” the statement said.
As of February, King is still asking the law firm for money to return funds it allegedly stole, sources said.
