The bankruptcy lawyers for "7," aka Michael Vick, fully anticipate their client's return to the National Football League after his 23-month sentence is up at Leavenworth.
Dave Forster's article in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper relays information from papers filed with the US Bankruptcy Court Wednesday. Those papers detail the progress 7's attorneys are having getting to the proposed bottom of his legal and financial matters.
From the article... ahem... quote...
"In a disclosure statement filed Wednesday, lawyers for Vick said the Newport News native still has a contract with the Atlanta Falcons but needs to be reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to satisfy his contractual obligations and play again.
“The Debtor has every reason to believe that upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living,” they wrote."
7 is scheduled to show up for a hearing in Virginia on November 25th and plead guilty to state charges of animal cruelty and dog fighting in Surry County. But there is no immediate thought that the pleas will add to his sentence.
The sentence is supposed to end in July, but 7's attorneys are wrangling to get their charge in to a half-way house and cut the time even further. There are two other dates to be concerned with after the November hearing- January 15 and 16 of 2009. At that time, 7 is supposed to have his plan of action for reimbursing creditors in place and he is also going to be appointed a trustee to arrange his finances in a sound manner.
Sources close to the three-letter network HQ here are still wondering when the RICO statutes are going to be addressed for trafficking dogs across state lines for the purpose of fighting as well as the international charges around his debt to the Royal Bank of Canada.
Just axin'...
