OJ Simpson

We all remember O.J.  Looks like he's got more problems, poor, poor, O.J.   

MIAMI — Like tens of thousands of other Florida homeowners, imprisoned former football star O.J. Simpson is in danger of losing his house to foreclosure.

Miami-Dade Circuit Court records show that JPMorgan Chase filed for foreclosure in September on the four-bedroom, four-bath house south of downtown Miami. Simpson's attorney has since filed a motion to dismiss the case, but there has been no further action since November.

Simpson bought the 4,233-square-foot house in 2000 for $575,000, property records show. Its current assessed value is $478,401, with property taxes of about $9,000. The 2011 taxes were paid in December.

The 64-year-old former football star and actor is serving a nine-to-33-year prison sentence stemming from a 2007 armed confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas casino hotel room. Simpson was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges. He is appealing the conviction.



Good thing he will be in prison for a long time. At least he's getting three hots and a cot. No need to worry about him being homeless on the streets.  

There's another foreclosure that's been reported which is far more interesting! Unfortunately, I've only seen one source reporting it, so will see if I can confirm it. One hint: it's a house in Chicago. Haha.
