He's blowing it before they get it. Brilliant. Now when he gets out of prison, he'll have no money at all. I'd have converted to cash and buried it somewhere in the Rocky Mtns; maybe a bank in Caymans or Geneva or something. ANYTHING but spend it stupidly.

I believe Vick may have ended a nasty divorce, and the malicous ex (oxymoron) wanted it all.

His latest fiscal adventures are merely to ensure the "b!tc# gets nothing"!

Shades of OJ. Crashing and burning.

Maybe he should have gone to see OJ to learn how to better hide his assets. I got the impression OJ came out of that whole lawsuit for murdering his ex wife and Ron Goldman-thing with plenty of his assets intact, but somewhere "off the radar."

Am I mistaken?

I remember seeing a book a few years ago called How To Hide Your Assets and Disappear. I was intrigued by the title and wanted to read it, but never did. Has anybody here ever read that?

Bankruptcy proceedings are available to creditors who want to dispute suspect pre-filing transfers by the debtor.
