Posted Aug. 8, 2007 – O.J. Simpson can count any money made from a video featuring his likeness as gone.

A judge ruled on Tuesday that Simpson must pay the family of the late Ronald Goldman any earnings from the game, "All-Pro Football 2K8" to fulfill a $38 million wrongful death judgement. The video stars Simpson playing as one of 240 former football greats.

The judge also ordered Simpson to turn over all correspondence, documents and contracts with the video game's publisher, Take-Two Interactive Software, to the Goldman family. The court's order did not detail how much money Simpson might have earned from the deal.

Last week, a federal bankruptcy judge in Miami awarded the Goldmans rights to the never-released "If I Did It" book Simpson wrote based on the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman.
