29. But OJ had money
Fri Nov 19, 2021, 02:49 PM
Nov 2021

this 18 year? Not a nickel.

This is his likely game plan:

File Ch 7 bankruptcy.
Wipes his credit cards and legal debt.
wipes any liability to the families as they will be listed as possible debtors
Loses any assets. Like his rifle and maybe beat up old car.

6 months later his case is closed.

Then sign the book and movie deals.
