O.J. Simpson seemed to be messing with his victims’ families until the very end.
The fallen football star famously skated in the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. However, he was found responsible for both deaths in a civil trial in 1996 and was to pay $33 million in damages to his families.
Most of his income was supposed to go toward paying off huge amounts.
However, Page Six reports that while Mr. Simpson was making a decent living after his release from prison on unrelated charges in 2017, he made large, all-cash deals that effectively cost the Brown and Goldman families. He reportedly paid nothing.
The former NFL and Hollywood star primarily made his money by doing private autographs, demanding hefty bills for things like podcast appearances, and charging people to play golf with him. It is said that.
“He will sign anything except anything related to a trial or murder,” we are told. “The condition was that we always had to pay in cash.”
Simpson, who died Thursday after a battle with prostate cancer, remained heavily in debt to his family.
In fact, he reportedly only paid $123,000 of the balance. “There was no way to document how much money he had access to, as it was all paid in cash,” we are told.
Simpson’s Heisman Trophy was sold to settle his debt, and the proceeds from this abandoned book, “If I Did It,” may have also been applied to that amount.
However, any serious earning power he may have had ended with a 2008 conviction for armed robbery related to a dispute over sports memorabilia.
