O.J. Simpson’s Attorney Claims He Had ‘Less Than Millions’ In The Bank Before His Passing

Looks like O.J. Simpson’s bank account didn’t hold as much money as one may think.

The late football star’s attorney recently revealed that his client’s estate doesn’t appear to be worth anything near the $100 million debt he owes, but said the money will be paid out nevertheless.

O.J. Simpson’s longtime lawyer and estate executor Malcolm LaVergne spoke about his client’s financial standing during a recent interview with TMZ. He explained that while O.J., real name Orenthal James Simpson, was being paid the maximum amount of social security and was receiving pensions from his NFL and acting careers before his passing on April 10th, the total of those payments was less than the $400,000 that’s been reported in the media.

Additionally, Malcolm LaVergne claimed that as far as Simpson’s bank accounts are concerned, there’s certainly not “millions” available. He stated:

“There’s a Florida bank account that Simpson has…that’s undetermined. I have the exact dollar amount of his Nevada account…it’s less than 5 figures.”

The lawyer went on to state while Simpson did live comfortably in Nevada post his incarceration for armed robbery, many of his revenue streams would likely end abruptly with his passing, as did his pension checks. However, LaVergne said despite the uncertainty about exactly how much Simpson left behind, he’s confident that the debt the athlete owed to the families of his murdered ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman will be paid. As we recently reported, LaVergne retracted his previous declaration to fight Fred Goldman’s attempt to collect on Simpson’s estate.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Simpson lost a wrongful death lawsuit against the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson back in 1997, though he was acquitted of their murders. Initially, the families were awarded $33 million, which Fred Goldman claimed has since risen to nearly $100 million with interest.

Though Simpson famously vowed not to and didn’t pay much of anything on the debt while he was living, LaVergne said he had a legal obligation as an executor to ensure Fred Goldman’s claim was accepted.
