Allen Iverson Gets His Wages Garnished To The Tune of More Than $800,000!!!
Posted by Media Outrage on January 31st, 2012
It’s never a good idea to take merchandise without paying for it especially when you’re a superstar athlete who has the money to pay for it a million times over. Well that’s exactly what Allen Iverson did a few years ago regarding a jewelry tab:
Via TMZ
Allen Iverson‘s bank account has been commandeered by a Georgia judge … who’s garnishing the former NBA star’s earnings so A.I. can repay a 6-figure debt to his flashy GA jeweler.
According to court papers obtained by TMZ … Iverson was sued back in 2010 for allegedly stiffing Aydin & Company Jewelers on a $375,000 bill.
The records show … A.I. never responded to the lawsuit … so a default judgement was issued in favor of the jewelry store … allowing A&C to collect $859,896.46 for the bling, court costs, interest and attorneys fees.
But A.I. still didn’t pay … so earlier this month .. the judge signed off on an order which allows the store to recoup their loss directly from Iverson’s Wells Fargo bank account.
Mediaoutrage- It completely escapes us as to why rich celebrities do this kind of isht….

If this story is true it makes no sense at all why he would let something like this happen. Would like to hear what Allen has to say.
