Beardsley isn’t afraid of OJ. It seems like Beardsley is afraid of an IRS/criminal investigation into his business relationship with Mr. Simpson.
It also looks like what got OJ so enraged is the dealer’s collaboration to sell the suit and other items to help the Goldmans. They ‘betrayed’ him. The timing of this and the release of the book is no accident.
Maybe that’s true, we’ll see. I have no clue how these people think, wheel and deal.
