Simpson leaving the courthouse in Las Vegas in 2008 (Click on the photo for the South Florida homes of celebrities)
Memo to JP Morgan Chase Bank: O.J. Simpson‘s safely tucked away in a Nevada prison.
So, if you need to serve him about foreclosing on his South Florida house, send your process server to 1200 Prison Road, Lovelock, Nevada!
Showing once again the ridicule in mass foreclosures, JP Morgan’s process server tried to hand their filing to the fallen NFL icon on a daily basis at the former running back’s homestead on SW 112 Street in Kendall, according to court records.

Couldn’t find the former Buffalo Bills running back at home.
Maybe that’s because The Juice is dwelling in a desert prison the next 33 years after being found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping in 2008?

Somehow, Simpson figured out the bank was after him and decided to fight the attempt to have the ranch house sold on the courthouse steps!
Records show Simpson, 64, took out a mortgage after he arrived in Florida in 2000. At the time, he avowedly moved here to escape paying a $33.5 million civil judgment to the family of Ron Goldman, the man he was accused of killing along with his ex-wife Nicole in 1994. While he was found not guilty of the murders, Simpson was found liable in a civil trial.
Simpson eventually settled on the four-bedroom crib in Kendall after several gated communities rejected him.
And he took out a $592,000-mortgage to buy the $575,000-house, according to property records.
The former Heisman Trophy winner, however, quit making payments in March 2010, according to the filing. By then, he’d been in prison for nearly two years.
He currently owes $724,354.15, including interests, fees and penalties. And attorney Leonardo Starke reps Simpson.
Starke didn’t return calls but his pleadings deem JP Morgan’s filing “ambiguous and vague.” While JP Morgan’s going after him, the loan was made with the defunct Washington Mutual.

This is all about money. The process servers were probably getting paid per attempt and knew damn well he wasn’t there. But they wanted to collect their few hundred dollar fee.
Either that, or the server is even dummer the OJ!!!!
I can not see why he is guilty for trying to recuperate his belongings and who was kidnapped? Then he was freed for killing Nicole and Goldman. Are the courts crazy?
they weren’t his belongings anymore. they were seized assets, to be auctioned off as part of the civil suit against him. and when you go in with guns and keep people from leaving-that in some states can be called kidnapping, yes. seems more like false imprisonment, but these things vary.
either way, this is what can happen when you literally let people get away with murder.
He goes to Holligans aroun5:00pm for Drinks on US 1
Hes been in jail in NV for years?
@ Maria Regalado – he wasnt convicted for “trying to recuperate his belongings” as you put it. He was convicted for ARMED robbery and Kidnapping. BTW … Hold someone against their will in an illegal manner and it is called Kidnapping.
you must hate black people!!
… and you must really (and I mean really) be an idiot.
What is wrong with you? There’s a vast difference from going
To get your things and doing it at gun point.
Id like to see you go to your bank and with a gun and ask for the money.
@Maria ………… No Maria. You are crazy! ! ! ! !
