Overview
- Executor Malcolm LaVergne filed paperwork in Clark County on Nov. 14 accepting a $57,997,858.12 claim plus judgment interest.
- The figure is a negotiated amount after Goldman initially sought more than $117 million based on decades of accrued interest.
- LaVergne says the estate aims to raise funds through auctions of Simpson’s possessions and by recovering items it alleges were stolen.
- He has accepted only Goldman’s and the IRS’s claims, with federal taxes taking priority and California’s $636,945 claim potentially requiring a lawsuit.
- Goldman family attorney Michaelle Rafferty notes acceptance is not payment, while LaVergne plans to ask the court to grant Goldman an administrative fee for his assistance.
