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.

19. TMZ - Are you desparate for a story. He is in JAIL and can not make the payments. He is like many Americans who live on credit and do not have enough money to make the payments for 2 years...What's in your wallet!

20. You people are terribly insensitive to this young man. Owning a million dollar wine bar is part of his culture. I feel like he is being singled out.

22. I WISH EVERYBODY WOULD STOP RAGGING ON MY HOMEBOY, HE'S DOING TIME, LET HIM PAY HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY. SO HE AND A FRIEND TRIED TO OPEN UP A LIQUOR JOINT AND COULDN'T PAY THE LOAN.... SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL. I SWEAR IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERYBODY THAT RAGGED ON MICHAEL VICK MY FINANCIAL WORRIES WOULD BE OVER.

23. the real reason vick settled wasn't fear of jail, fear of loosing endorsments, etc. those just give him street credbiity and will keep his real fan base. but th feds wiretaps reveal vick had MALE significant other. that would have ruined him when played in court.

24. This man is serving his time, let him the hell alone, dumb asses, I'll bet the one's who are making these ugly remarks, have meth addicts, (probably one yourself), abusive child molesters in your family or are one yourself, and probably went to a dog fight or two yourself. there is something in your life that ain't right and now you want to point your white ass fingers.

Just to let you know (many friend and I have discussed) we are going to your site less and less because you're falling down on your job....or what we've come to expect. You don't update nearly as often and there's hardly anything we can't find first on TMZ. Now I'm a die hard fan, but I keep finding myself disappointed when I click to your site and don't see anything new posted for hours even a day. I am sure you are busy with your many ventures, but if you lose this fan base all the rest will go the same.
Don't disappoint....keep us posted we're a fickle bunch.

29. Keep piling it on this monster. He deserves everything he gets. It is obvious he is a sick POS to have participated in this vile disgusting blood sport for over SIX YEARS. I hope the VA charges land him in prison for at least 6 more years. Not like, considering it is another POS who will be prosecuting him, Poindexter, but one can only hope. Regardless, he will be the most hated man in the US for a very very long time. IF he returns to the NFL, he will face fans booing and throwing trash on the field in his direction, and we all know that Vick can't handle rejection. May he rot in jail, it's what he deserves.
