Michael Vick is a free man
MICHAEL VICK has been released from federal custody after completing the last two months of his prison term under home confinement in Virginia.
Michael Vick could be moved from a federal prison in the Midwest to a Virginia halfway house by Jan. 20.
He is currently serving a 23-month prison term for financing a dog-fighting ring and is scheduled to be released from federal custody around July 2009.
In addition to filing bankruptcy, Vick has received multiple death threats from self proclaimed "dog lovers" who are set on getting revenge.
Michael Vick’s Virginia house that served as home base for the dog-fighting enterprise that landed him in federal prison remains on the market.
One potential buyer claimed he could still see and smell blood in the backyard where the dog fights were held.
After several previous auctions failed, the new minimum bid is $590,000.
Michael Vick spent $201,840 of his money in the hours before beginning a nearly two-year prison sentence for his role in a dogfighting ring.
He bought a $99,000 Mercedes. He cashed four checks that totaled $24,900. He gave $28,000 to the mother of his oldest child. He paid a public relations firm $23,000 and gave a friend $16,000.
Vick’s currently filing for bankruptcy, so I guess he wanted to spend it before the bill collectors got to it.
