Part 2/5:
In an interview with People magazine on March 13th, Malcolm Lever, the executive in charge of O.J. Simpson's estate, explained the reasoning behind the rejection. He stated that the offer was not substantial enough, considering the existing contract with the court to auction the item. Lever remarked, “Why would I spend $15,000 of estate money... to sell it to Kim for $15,000?” The costs associated with contesting the auction contract exceeded the amount Kardashian was willing to pay.
