In the case, O.J. was found liable in wrongful death lawsuits brought by Ron and Nicole’s families — after being acquitted in his criminal trial. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages in the civil case.

Over the years, Ron attempted to collect any assets or profits that Simpson earned. After OJ was released from prison for an armed robbery, he started selling autographs and merchandise. Ron tried to seize the money in 2018. ...

In 2021, he revealed that Simpson only paid off $132k of the judgment. At the time, the $33 million had grown to $70 million due to interest.
