Bankrupt Murderer Michael Vick is Free, Moving into New $2 Million Home

Michael Vick has completed his home confinement on Monday morning and is now free on probation. Vick had served a 23 month federal prison term for running an illegal dogfighting ring and murdering dogs. He was also given a 3 year suspended prison term from the state of Virginia as long as he stays on good behavior.

Vick is also in the midst of filing bankruptcy. In an April court filing, Vick claimed he was down to $210,000 in cash, along with legal bills of $4.7 million, plus another $12.8 million he owes to 7 different debtors. Vick's bankruptcy court visit in April also revealed that he is living in a home in Hampton, Virginia valued at $748,000, while he is also have a new $2 million home built in Suffolk, Virginia.

How does a person with no job, several felony convictions, and who is -$4.5 million in debt AND filing bankruptcy have a $2 million house built?

Vick is also being sued by the federal government for allegedly stealing $1.35 million from an employee pension fund of a company he owns.

As I've said before, the scumbag has the right to earn a living, but doing so in the NFL should be out of question. He can get a blue collar job and find out what it's like to actually work for a living. Playing a professional sport and being rewarded with a multi-million dollar salary is a privilege, not a right. The fans will ultimately decide if he is accepted if he is reinstated and signs with another team. Hopefully it never gets that far. Any team thinking of signing him has to be fearful of the backlash such a move would create. Animal lovers across the country will boycott that team, no matter where he signs, and bloggers such as myself will join them.

One thing I do know: Vick can't afford two houses worth almost $3 million with his $10 an hour construction job, or a boys and girls club job he is reportedly working now.
