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.

Wow, that's harsh. I bet all the money from his new book (released sometime this month and available at www.amazon.com) will go to them too.
