Mike Nifong has filed for bankruptcy reporting $243,898 in assets and potentially $180 million in liabilities. Most of the $180 million comes from potential civil suit damages from the three indicted and several unindicted lacrosse players. Lawyers for the players will argue that Nifong willfully and maliciously injured the players, which if proven, would not allow the claims and damages to be discharged in the bankruptcy proceedings.
