Getting some measure of justice is proving difficult -- yet again -- for Fred Goldman.
The Goldman's lawyers seized a watch from O.J. (after seeing it on TMZ) to pay off the $33.5 million wrongful death judgment against him. But it isn't a Rolex like they hoped -- it's a knock-off from China, worth about $100.
If the watch were a genuine Rolex, it would have been worth as much as $22,000. But now they have to return the watch to Simpson, since it falls under an exemption in the judgment -- for jewelry worth less than $6,075.
Goldman recently won the rights to O.J.'s hypothetical confession book, "If I Did it," which has gone on to become a New York Times bestseller.
My dad got his Rolex off a man standing on a street corner for seven dollars (talked him down from ten).
If he can kill a wife, he can pull a fake watch out of his azz and hide the real one next to the knife.
The red ‘breaking news’ banner. LOL.
I hope O.J. paid $22,000 for it.
Didn’t he retitle his book “I Did It?” I know 100% that I saw a photo of “I Did It” on either MSNBC or FOX last week. I was shocked because the word “if” was missing from the title.
Pretty smart... sending the fake instead of the real one.
[snicker]
Next time, I'll send him out for a Chanel purse, Gucci scarf, and Tiffany charm bracelet.
But if it's a fake, isn't he breaking the law by buying counterfeit goods?
hilarious
ROTFLMAO—the quickest way to tell whether a Rolex is fake is by watching the second hand.
I think on the book’s cover they sorta hid “if” in small script on top of another letter.
How the heck did they come up with that figure? Why not $6,050?
Probably started originally at $6,000 and now it’s adjusted for inflation...Total lunacy.
That is a seriously valid point. An appraiser could determine a market price for "the watch that OJ was forced to turn over" and surely it would fetch a handsome price.
Yah? How so? I don’t know nuthin’ bout dem rolexes.
I think that nomatter how wealthy I might ever become I will always have something better to do with 10 or 20 thousand than to buy a freakin’ watch.
“the quickest way to tell whether a Rolex is fake is by watching the second hand.” ............ The second hand on the good self wind fakes don’t stagger they go around without stopping. The high end fakes look as good as the real one. They call them replicas now. In OJ’s case he probably had someone switch the real one for the fake.
somehow, “phoney Rolex” just has a new meaning now
