Barkley Bounces More Than Basketballs

Posted May 20th 2008 12:10PM by TMZ Staff

Charles Barkley's mouth is writing checks his wallet apparently can't cash. Last night the baller announced he's finally paid back the $400K he owes the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Vegas. Only he hasn't.

Immediately following Barkley's proclamation that he was paid in full, Clark County D.A. David Roger told the Las Vegas Sun, "We have no evidence to suggest that he has made any payments. We have neither heard from Mr. Barkley nor received restitution from him."

And get this -- Barkley not only has to repay the Wynn, he also has to pay an extra 10% fee -- $40,000 -- to the bad check unit.

He could be charged with a felony if he doesn't pay up.

12. And this guy wants to run for the Gov. of Alabama? Nicker Puhleeze, you cant even manage your own money how you going to manage ours?

Radio is reporting a few minutes ago he might be broke or have very very little money left from the millions he has made.

Best he keep that TNT gig and ask for a raise. I think he has the Jon Dailey habit...

going around insisting people call him SIR...man what a throw back Nicker to the days of Step N Fetch It. A disgrace to his culture.
