HOLLYWOOD - The father of Ron Goldman yesterday filed a lawsuit aiming to seize all monies O.J. Simpson was paid for a book in which he hypothetically places himself at the scene of the murder of his ex-wife and Goldman.
Fred Goldman's attorney Jonathan Polak filed legal papers in California accusing former football star Simpson of "fraudulent conveyance."
The documents allege Simpson received $1.1 million for the now scrapped book If I Did It, and a planned TV show, through "shell corporation" Lorraine Brook Associates, in a bid to dodge making payments under a previous civil lawsuit.
Simpson was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Simpson and her friend Goldman in 1995 in a criminal case, but was later found liable for their deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the families of the victims.
Polak says, "The question in this lawsuit is not about what's in their bank account right now.
"The issue is, can we unwind this series of transactions and hold those we believe truly are responsible accountable financially?"
