An LA judge has banned OJ Simpson, at least for the time being, from spending any of the $1 million advance he received for his book, 'If I Did It'. The book was scrapped by the publisher, and was about the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

The ruling is brought about by a January restraining order sought by the victim's father, Fred Goldman. Goldman and his family won a $33.5 million judgement against Simpson in a civil suit back in 1997, and have yet to see a dime. Simpson, for his part, has publicly vowed to never voluntarily pay on that judgement.

So far he has been successful in hiding any earnings he has made, and has claimed that he is broke.

Rosenberg's new order stops Simpson from "transferring, conveying, expending, liquidating, encumbering, hiding, concealing or otherwise disposing" of proceeds from book, media or movie deals. He made an exemption for the payment of "ordinary living expenses."
