Shamed American football athlete OJ Simpson has had his fees for Take Two's All-Pro Football 2K8 seized in order to satisfy an outstanding judgement for wrongful death, reports Reuters.
Simpson's likeness features in the game, which also includes a team called The Assassins, whose hooded mascot wields a knife when the team scores.
Simpson does not necessarily have to be assigned to the Assassins, but recent trailers have shown the ex-footballer as part of the team.
Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1995, but later found responsible for their deaths in a civil court two years later.
The fees, royalties and other compensation that Simpson was paid for appearing in All-Pro Football 2K8 will now go towards paying the USD 33.5 million judgement won by Goldman's family in 1997.
