Overview
- Executor Malcolm LaVergne formally accepted Fred Goldman’s creditor claim for $57,997,858.12 plus judgment interest, according to Nevada court documents filed Friday.
- The amount reflects a negotiated reduction from Goldman’s initial request of more than $117 million as both sides work to reconcile interest under Nevada’s variable judgment rates.
- Acceptance does not equal payment, with the estate valued at roughly $500,000 to $1 million and federal tax obligations taking precedence over any distribution to Goldman.
- The estate plans to auction Simpson’s possessions and pursue recovery of allegedly stolen memorabilia to raise funds, and the executor may seek an administrative fee for Goldman’s assistance.
- Probate will proceed with ongoing interest accounting and a January court date, marking a shift from the executor’s earlier public vow not to pay the Goldman family.
