OJ Simpson secretly hid his money in offshore bank accounts prior to being jailed for kidnapping and armed robbery, a bombshell audio recording obtained by DailyMailTV reveals.
And lawyers for the family of Ron Goldman, the friend of Nicole Brown Simpson who was murdered along with OJ's ex in 1994, believe the disgraced NFL star could have millions of dollars tucked away ready for his release on as soon as Monday.
Simpson was famously acquitted of the double murder of Nicole and Goldman in 1995, but a civil court jury in 1997 found Simpson liable for their deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5million in damages to their families.
Enforcement lawyer David Cook, who represents Ron's father Fred Goldman, has been unsuccessfully trying to access the former star's assets ever since.
The audio tape sheds doubt on whether the 70-year-old nicknamed 'The Juice' has been truthful about his financial situation over the years.

Cook, 68, suspects an offshore account exists and he vows not to stop until he finds all of Simpson's alleged hidden assets.
'We've heard about that over the years and I have asked OJ about his assets and he didn't disclose any offshore bank accounts, but that doesn't mean anything,' Cook told DailyMailTV.
'Do I think he has an offshore bank account? That's a good conclusion. How much does he have in it? God only knows,' he added, acknowledging the figure could potentially run into millions of dollars.
'Mr Simpson has made it very clear that he will not work for Fred Goldman, he has no interest in compensating Mr Goldman, he is in a state of complete denial, which is a continuing affront to all justice.
'Whatever hole Mr Simpson hides his money in, I'll find it.'
The bombshell recording that mentions the offshore accounts was captured seconds after the robbery in Las Vegas when Simpson and his gun-toting entourage burst into a hotel room to retrieve sports memorabilia the star believed had been stolen from him.
In the recording, memorabilia collector Bruce Fromong, a long-time friend of Simpson, can be heard speaking with fellow collector Alfred Beardsley, who has since died, about the violent incident that had ended minutes earlier.
Fromong was furious and in a rant, during which he threatened to kill Simpson, he let slip that he had personally helped the star set up offshore accounts.
He is heard saying: 'Nobody puts a gun in my f***ing face. I stood up for the motherf***er (Simpson) while he was in jail, I stood up for him in the press, I stood up for him on the stand.
'I helped him set up his f***ing offshore accounts. Don’t f*** with me. It’s not over. It’s not f***ing over.'

MEMORABILIA COLLECTOR CLAIMS HE HELPED SIMPSON SET UP OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS IN TAPE
Bruce Fromong: 'I don't know who it is. I swear if I find out who the f*** set me up, there will…'
Alfred Beardsley: 'Bruce, it's not me.'
Fromong: 'I didn't do f***ing time in Nam for no s***. We get the f***ing first guy, I'm done.'
Beardsley: 'Bruce, you know how I do business.'
Fromong: 'I told you we shouldn't have brought the s*** in. I told you... other place...'
Beardsley: 'You know how much money you're getting paid?
Fromong: 'I don't give a s***. Nobody puts a gun in my f***ing face. I stood up for the motherf***er while he was in jail, I stood up for him in the press, I stood up for him on the stand.
'I helped him set up his f***ing offshore accounts. Don't f**k with me. It's not over. It's not f***ing over. I'll have Inside Edition down here for us tomorrow. I told them we want big money. I'm going to get hold of Leah...'
Beardsley: 'You press charges, Bruce…'
Fromong: 'Oh, I am. No.'
Fromong: 'My card still works…It doesn't matter, because I'm supposed to be going down to my girlfriend's tomorrow morning to buy stuff. That's why I wasn't going to be here any longer. I'm leaving my wife…'

The lawyer speculated Simpson could have hidden millions away in offshore accounts, adding: 'Whatever hole Mr Simpson hides his money in, I'll find it'
He claims Simpson hopes to revive his fame and cash in on his celebrity and mind set.
'OJ Simpson has missed a lot of things over nine years - the limelight is part of that.
'It would be sad to see him back running around with crazy people, doing weird deals, but that is what I am hearing is happening. I am hearing he wants to do a reality show.
'They are supposed to give him $1 million up front, but again it would be feeding into his narcissistic camera star type thing again.
'Producers are figuring out a way to get the money set up, so his family get money not him. And that way the Goldmans cannot take the cash.'
On Fromong's alleged role in setting up offshore bank accounts for Simpson, Riccio said: 'Bruce said that he hid money for OJ and he bragged about it on many occasions to people that we were around during that time. He told me to my face that "I have hid his money from the Goldmans".
'Bruce was involved, and he knows he was part of the reason that the Goldmans did not get their money from the civil case.
'If he wants to sue me, I am here. I have no problem being on the record about this.'
