Overview
- Court papers filed this week show the estate accepted Fred Goldman’s creditor claim for $57,997,858.12 plus ongoing judgment interest.
- The approved sum reflects a negotiated reduction from Goldman’s bid for more than $117 million tied to decades of accrued interest.
- Executor Malcolm LaVergne says payments will come from auctions of Simpson’s possessions and efforts to recover stolen memorabilia.
- The estate has accepted only Goldman’s claim and an IRS claim, with most others rejected; California would need to sue to pursue about $636,945.
- LaVergne plans to ask the court to award Goldman an administrative fee, marking a reversal from his earlier vow that the family would receive nothing.
