Evander Kane, a forward for the Edmonton Oilers, has recently achieved a significant win in his longstanding bankruptcy case.
As reported by The Athletic, the presiding judge ruled in favor of Kane, thereby allowing him to dismiss a significant portion of his outstanding debts. This includes an $8 million dollar loan he owed to Centennial Bank.
Stephen Finestone, Kane's legal representative, shared his client's satisfaction with the ruling.
"Evander is undoubtedly delighted with the result, which he believes affirms his right to financial rehabilitation through bankruptcy. Many claims have been publicly made against him, but the courtroom has a way of revealing the truth."
"Now that the judgment has been made in Evander's favor, Ms. Parker can pursue her claim, insisting it shouldn't be dismissed."
The Ms. Parker, referred to by Finestone, is Hope Parker. She was previously involved with Kane and alleges that she is entitled to a $3 million dollar settlement, supposedly for multiple abortions insisted upon by Kane. In addition, there's another lender who maintains an active claim in this case.
Notable Gambling Addiction
Kane openly confessed that a severe gambling addiction led him to this financial downfall. At the time of filing for bankruptcy in early 2021, he disclosed debts exceeding $28 million, contrasting starkly with his assets valued slightly over $10 million. In his judgment, the judge elucidated his reasons for ruling in favor of Kane.
"Evander Kane's account of his financial distress might not have placated his creditors. However, his testimony was sensible, lucid, and aligned with the extensive evidence presented in this case." - Judge Stephen Johnson
Though the ruling is a victory for Kane, it's worth noting that Centennial Bank still retains the right to contest it. As of now, their intent to appeal remains uncertain.
