Vick Files For Bankruptcy

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

(Sports Network) - Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick filed for bankruptcy protection Tuesday.

The imprisoned Vick, who is currently serving a 23-month prison sentence in Leavenworth, Kan. on federal dogfighting charges, filed Chapter 11 papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News on Monday claiming to owe between $10 and $50 million to various creditors.

The debt includes a $3.75 million pro-rated signing bonus that the Falcons are attempting to recover.

After pleading guilty last year to financially supporting a Virginia-based dogfighting ring, the disgraced Vick was subsequently suspended indefinitely by the NFL without pay and lost all his major corporate sponsors.
