The death of O.J. Simpson is still fresh in the headlines, but there are already various reports related to the celebrity’s finances at the time of his passing. One of his so-called friends claims the former NFL player hid millions in offshore accounts to avoid paying over $100 million to the families of his alleged victims Nicole Brown, his ex-wife, and Rob Goldman.

An audio recording, obtained by The U.S. Sun, reveals Simpson's long-time confidant Bruce Fromong admitting to aiding the controversial athlete in establishing "offshore accounts."

O.J. Simpson's fame, NFL success, and infamous trial define his complex legacy. Recent estimates put his net worth at $3 million.

"Nobody puts a gun in my f------ face," he said. "I stood up for the m----------- while he was in jail, I stood up for him in the press, I stood up for him on the stand. I helped him set up his f------ offshore accounts. Don’t f--- with me. It’s not over. It’s not f------ over."

Fromong and Simpson have a long, complicated history. Despite their friendship, Simpson robbed Fromong at gunpoint at the Las Vegas Palace Station in 2007, for which he later did jail time. This came over a decade after he was found not guilty of Brown and Goldman’s murders.

Fromong testified against Simpson during his 2008 trial, though he later advocated for the NFL star’s 2017 parole release, insisting he’d forgiven him.

Despite being acquitted in his ex-wife and her lover’s murder trial, Simpson faced a significant setback in a wrongful death civil suit brought forth by the Goldman and Brown families. It resulted in a court order demanding the controversial celebrity to pay $33.5 million in damages, a figure that ballooned over time due to accruing interest.

Notably, though Simpson allegedly never directly fulfilled his financial obligation, the families received compensation through proceeds generated from Simpson's controversial 2007 book, If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.

Now, Fromong claims Simpson’s alleged offshore accounts were part of his strategy to avoid paying the million court settlement. Simpson reportedly died with a net worth of $3 million, which was significantly lower than the tens of millions he was worth earlier in his life.

Reports say O.J. had an annual income of $42,000 from Social Security, supplemented by a pension from the Screen Actors Guild, and a substantial NFL pension ranging between $125,000 to $300,000, stemming from his past career.

It appears what’s left of his estate will be inherited by his four surviving children: Sydney, Jason, Justin, and Arnelle Simpson.
