SBF says he only has at most $100k. At this point that's probably all gone especially considering hiring daily private security squads. How can he afford all this litigation?

The same way he afforded bail.

His parents used the house that he bought for them as collateral, and a few unnamed benefactors also contributed.

Looks like the court just named them today, though. Larry Kramer and Andreas Paepke, heavyweights from the Stanford clique who might be friends of his family:
