O.J. Simpson Estate Formally Accepts Goldman’s $58 Million Claim

The executor describes the sum as a negotiated figure, signaling a cooperative path to repayment.

Overview

  • The estate filed court papers accepting Fred Goldman’s creditor claim for $57,997,858.12 plus judgment interest as an agreed amount.
  • Executor Malcolm LaVergne says Goldman first sought more than $117 million and contends the interest calculations were incorrect.
  • The estate plans to pay what it can through auctions of Simpson’s property and is working to recover items it says were stolen.
  • LaVergne says only the IRS and Goldman claims have been accepted, with federal tax obligations prioritized ahead of other creditors.
  • The State of California must sue to pursue an approximately $636,945 claim, and LaVergne will ask the court to grant Goldman an administrative fee for his guidance.
