EV startup Faraday Future paid $7.5M to company tied to founder Jia Yueting

Faraday Future disclosed about $7.5 million in 2025 payments to FF Global Partners, a company tied to founder Jia Yueting.

The filing says the amount included consulting fees, a bonus, and loan repayments, with the remainder not clearly explained.

The disclosure revives scrutiny over related-party transactions, governance, and control at the EV startup.

Jia has regained control as Faraday Future’s sole CEO, keeping the company closely tied to its founder despite past SEC probes.
