Michael Vick to Emerge from Successful Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

NFL quarterback Michael Vick has made arrangements to pay back the last of almost $20 million in debts to dozens of creditors, the Virginian-Pilot reported today. Vick's bankruptcy records show that he has paid about 75 percent of his debts. With this fall's salary from the Eagles and his endorsement income, he should be able to close out his case within months, his attorneys said. Kara Bruce, an associate professor of law at the University of Toledo Law School and the scholar in residence at the American Bankruptcy Institute in Alexandria, called it "impressive" for anyone to emerge from chapter 11 with creditors paid in full. While statistics are not available, "generally speaking, it's a rare situation," she said. "For most people, there's nothing to sell."
