Or he could have put it into the Widener Trust and Savings. Interest he would draw is low but I would take good care of it.

O.J. Seeks Bailout
Juice: Incarceration Would Hurt Cable Nets' Bottom Line
Minutes after being convicted of robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas, former
football great O.J. Simpson said he would seek government intervention,
claiming that his imprisonment would cost the nation's cable news networks
untold billions of dollars.
"My three trials have generated billions of dollars for the cable TV industry,
not to mention the tabloids," Mr. Simpson told reporters outside the Las Vegas
courthouse. "All those billions go away if I go away."
Mr. Simpson made his case for the government bailing him out of jail, arguing
that as long as he is a free man he is likely to become involved in other
criminal cases that could generate much-needed television revenue.
"As long as the Juice is loose, there's no telling what trouble I'll get into,"
he promised. "And that means one thing to the TV networks: cold hard cash."
The former Heisman Trophy winner said that with the nation's economy teetering
on recession, the U.S. could ill afford "putting a major financial asset like
O.J. Simpson out of circulation."
"You'll see, the cable networks will miss me, and their bottom lines will show
it," he said. "They can't keep reporting about Lindsay Lohan being a lesbian
forever."
At the University of Minnesota's School of Law, professor Davis Logsdon said
there is "a valuable lesson to be learned" from Mr. Simpson's
conviction: "Apparently, in America it's easier to get away with murder than
stealing sports memorabilia."
