Bankruptcy records detail Vick's lavish spending
Those associates include three co-defendants who also were sentenced to prison for their roles in the dogfighting ring. Vick paid $150,000 to each of their lawyers. As would be expected in such a high-profile case, the records also show millions of dollars for Vick's defense and bankruptcy legal teams.
Charles W. Reamon Jr., the recipient of the Infiniti and the two boats, had easy access to the player's money and tapped one account for more than $1.1 million between October 2006 and December 2007. Entry after entry lists "cash out" transactions ranging from $1,000 to more than $88,000.
Reamon, listed in court papers as Vick's "personal assistant and friend," is Vick's partner in a Virginia horse farm where one of their two jointly owned yachts -- combined value about $225,000 -- is stored. But Reamon is now listed as one of several potential defendants in lawsuits Vick is considering filing, alleging mismanagement of his money.
Among the others are former financial advisers Mary Wong and David Talbot. Wong was recommended to Vick by his former teammate, Demorrio Williams. Vick's lawyers now believe Wong owes him at least $625,000.
Vick later hired Talbot but fired him after he was charged with securities fraud in New Jersey. Talbot has returned an $80,000 Mercedes that Vick gave him as payment but still could face suit for "breach of fiduciary duty and conversion," according to Vick's financial disclosure statement.
"Mary Wong categorically denies that she has ever wrongfully taken one penny from Michael Vick," said Wong's attorney, James Mitchell of Omaha. Any suggestion to the contrary is "unbelievably outrageous," he said.
Mitchell said Wong did not charge for her services. Wong already has accounted for some of the funds entrusted to her by Vick while holding power of attorney and is in the process of accounting for the rest, Mitchell said.
Reamon did not return a message left with a person who answered the phone listed in Charles Reamon's name in Newport News, and efforts to locate Talbot were unsuccessful.
"There were a lot of people with his or her hands in the till," one of Vick's lawyers, Peter Ginsberg, said at a recent bankruptcy hearing.
Talbot also briefly possessed jewelry worth about $100,000 to $150,000 that Vick gave to his brother. The jewelry has since been returned to an Atlanta jewelry store because there is a dispute over ownership.
The bling included diamond stud earrings and a charm with the inscription: "World Is Mine."
