A considerable creditor’s claim has been lodged against O.J. Simpson’s estate by Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman. The claim, valued at $117 million, is part of the ongoing probate case involving O.J. Simpson.
Fred Goldman is asserting his creditor status based on a judgment from 1997 involving the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994.
Despite being acquitted in the criminal trial, a civil suit by Fred and Nicole’s family resulted in a $33.5 million jury award against O.J. Simpson.
Over time, this judgment has grown significantly due to accrued interest.
In a recent filing, Fred Goldman claims that O.J.’s estate owes him $117,041,675.27.
The document states, “I affirm that the amount of the claim…is justly due.”
O.J. Simpson passed away at 76 earlier this year.
A family statement announced his passing due to cancer, and Fred Goldman reflected on the impact of O.J.’s death on the case.
Malcolm LaVergne, O.J.’s attorney, expressed changes in approach regarding the Goldman family and the estate’s financial challenges.
