OJ Simpson was screwing the families of his victims ’til the very end, it seems.

The fallen football star famously skated for the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. But the year after his 1995 criminal trial, he was found liable for both deaths in civil court, and he was supposed to pay the families $33 million in damages.

Most of his income was supposed to go toward paying off the vast sum.

But Page Six is told that Simpson made a decent living after his 2017 release from jail on an unrelated charge — but paid the Brown and Goldman families virtually nothing by running a substantial ring of all-cash Business dealings.

We’re told that the onetime NFL and Hollywood star mostly made his money by doing private autograph signings and demanding stacks of bills for things like podcast appearances — and even charging people to play Golf with him.

“He would sign anything except anything that had to do with the trial or murder,” we’re told. “The stipulation was always that he had to be paid in cash.”

Simpson, who died Wednesday after a battle with prostate cancer, still owed a massive amount of money to the family.

In fact, we’re told he had only paid $123,000 of the balance.

“With being paid everything in cash, there was no way to document how much money he had access to,” we’re told.
