Jack Johnson of the US National Hockey League (NHL) has filed for bankruptcy.
The Daily Beast carries
this report:
Despite earning more
than US$18 million so far in his career, and US$5 million this year, Columbus
Blue Jackets player Jack Johnson has filed for bankruptcy.
The reason: his
parents. While Johnson only said in a statement, that “I picked the wrong
people who led me down the wrong path,” those wrong people were reportedly his
parents. After dumping hockey super-agent Pat Brisson in 2008, Johnson turned
over control to his parents. His mother, Tina, reportedly took out at least US$15
million in high-interest loans from non-conventional lenders against her son’s
future earnings.
Johnson’s parents also
reportedly bought a multi-million dollar home in Manhattan Beach, California
and spent more than US$800,000 on upgrades.
Johnson now claims assets of “less than US$50,000” and debts of “more than US$10 million.” He has reportedly cut off all contact with his family.
