Bruce Fromong was first rushed to a hospital in the week following the robbery. Since then, he claimed to suffer further health problems and sued for infliction of emotional distress, negligence as well as assault and battery.
His lawsuit names Simpson, five men who accompanied him during the 2007 robbery, and Thomas Riccio, who led Simpson and the other men to the room at the Palace Station hotel. Fromong claimed Riccio, who secretly recorded the robbery, intended to create a “dangerous and explosive” situation with the intent on selling it to the highest bidder.
Simpson is serving 7½ to 27 years for robbing Fromong and another sports memorabilia dealer at the Palace Station hotel in 2007. He is appealing the conviction, but was recently denied bail by the Nevada Supreme Court
