O.J. Simpson Allegedly ‘Ran A Ring Of All-Cash Business Deals’ To Hide Money And Avoid Paying Judgment Owed To Families Of Nicole Brown And Ron Goldman

O.J. Simpson is accused of “running a ring of all-cash business deals” in order to hide judgment money owed to the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman .
As we previously shared, on Wednesday (April 10), former NFL star O.J. Simpson died at age 76 after a battle with prostate cancer. His family broke the news via social media.
Taking to the former pro football star’s official account on X (formerly Twitter), the Simpson Family wrote , “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”
Following O.J. Simpson’s death, the family of Ron Goldman spoke out. Not only did his father, Fred Goldman , tell PEOPLE how Simpson’s death only caused him to think about how long Ron and Nicole have been gone, but a lawyer for the family also spoke out.
The Goldmans’ attorney, Dave Cook , told TMZ that “O.J. died without penance,” meaning he passed away without confessing any sins. He also added that despite Simpson passing away, he was still on the hook for money owed in a multi-million-dollar judgment. Before O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman in 1997, the victims’ families sued him for being liable for their deaths.
In 1996, the families were awarded a $33.5 million judgment but were ultimately only paid a fraction of that before Simpson’s death. He reportedly only paid $123,000 of the balance and still owed about $114 million, including interest. Subsequently, the Goldman Family is seeking to get the money and/or assets that Simpson may have left behind so that they can collect the remaining funds owed.
Since Ron Goldman’s family’s attorney spoke out, it is now being reported that O.J. Simpson allegedly “ran a ring of all-cash business deals” to hide judgment money owed to Goldman and Nicole Brown’s families. According to sources for Page Six , Simpson made a decent living after his 2017 release from prison, which stemmed from his 2008 conviction for armed robbery related to a dispute over sports memorabilia. Despite this, he reportedly paid the Brown and Goldman families hardly anything because he was operating on an all-cash deal regime.
Reportedly, O.J. Simpson mostly made his money by doing private autograph signings, podcast appearances, and by even having people pay him to play golf with them. He would then allegedly demand that people pay him in stacks of cold, hard cash for the deals.
A source said, “He would sign anything except anything that had to do with the trial or murder. The stipulation was always that he had to be paid in cash. With being paid everything in cash, there was no way to document how much money he had access to.”
Read recently NIcole's family encouraged her to.get back.with Simpson because they were benefitting financially from inside deals.with OJ and Hertz. Must hurt pretty bad to know you sold out your child. Brown family should get nothing in my opinion.
