Michael Vick Bankruptcy – Former NFL star Michael Vick filed bankruptcy today from Leavenworth federal prison, citing debts between $10 million and $50 million.

Michael Vick files bankruptcy and loses almost everything

The Michael Vick bankruptcy was expected because the disgraced quarterback had already lost two creditor lawsuits and faced several more large claims against his assets.

Vick also moved his legal residence to Florida where bankruptcy laws allow an individual to exclude his home from bankruptcy claims.

Michael Vick bought an $8 million condo in the “Icon” a luxurious high-rise in Miami’s South Beach, the same building where Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade lives, back in October of 2007.

According to the filings, Vick’s other debts include $4.5 million owed to Richmond-based Joel Enterprises Inc., and $550,0000 owed to Radtke Sports Inc. for breach of contract.

Dogfighting charges led to Michael Vick filing bankruptcy

In May, a federal judge ordered Vick to repay about $2.5 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan. The Royal Bank of Canada sued Vick in September, arguing his guilty plea to a federal dogfighting charge and loss of his career prevented him from repaying the loan.

A default judgment for $1.08 million was also entered in January against Vick and a business partner in a lawsuit brought by Wachovia Bank over a loan for an Atlanta-area wine shop and restaurant.

And that’s the latest news on the Michael Vick bankruptcy.
