faces massive debt
(Yahoo Sports Blog by Chris Chase)
Michael Vick paid his debt to society. Now he's trying to pay back his
massive debt to creditors.
Despite earning $4.1 million since signing with the Philadelphia Eagles,
Vick lives on a shoestring budget set for him by a court-appointed trustee.
Most of his salary goes toward paying back creditors Vick owed before
entering federal prison. Those creditors, which include banks, former
business colleagues and former endorsement partners, were protected
because of Vick's 2008 filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
A 112-page, court-approved document serves as Vick's "reorganization
plan." It was uncovered by ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson.
Among the facts Munson discovered in the plan:
• Two-thirds of every dollar Vick earns goes to creditors and taxes.
• The rest of the money is strictly controlled. Think of it as an allowance.
