Celebrity Justice
Vick Wined then Fined

Posted May 14th 2008 7:06PM by TMZ Staff

They just keep piling it up on Michael Vick. Now he's been ordered to fork over more than a million bucks for a failed wine bar he tried to open.

Court docs allege Vick and buddy Gerald Jenkins borrowed more than $1.1 million in May of 2006 from Wachovia Bank to open a joint called Atlantic Wine & Spirits. In August of '07, Vick and his cohort failed to make the $8,000 monthly interest payment. Wachovia then declared the loan was in default because "the prospect for repayment was substantially impaired."

A 23-month sentence definitely puts a cork in Vick's ability to pay those bills.

4. Yet other sport stars kill their girlfriends, some drive drunk and kill people,
and some get arrested for dealing drugs, and they walk.
Why not make an example of them?

8. This ass will "never" be on another football field playing professionally! I wonder if he will come out of prison alive?

9. What Vick did...paid for, coordinated, participated in and turned a cold heart to the suffering of those poor dogs should have earned him about 6 or more years in prison. I can't even imagine a population of sports fans that would ever let that Vick back on the field, no game can be that needed.
I hope Vick has found a nice inmate, by now, and has become the perfect "bride" to some really brutal convict also serving time. Just maybe it will remind him of the "rape stands" he had built on his property for the helpless dogs!

10. Wachovia Bank has bigger fish on the line this idiot...like probably about a million defaulted mortgages they approved without ever checking out the people or the properties.
