Bankruptcy Trustee Postpones Gardner Auction

Submitted by webadmin on

An Oct. 27 auction of 2000 gold-medal winning wrestler Rulon Gardner's most valuable belongings, which were seized by authorities to settle his debts, has been postponed indefinitely as a bankruptcy trustee decides whether Gardner can keep any of the possessions he treasures most, the Associated Press reported on Friday. Bankruptcy records show Gardner owes a major creditor nearly $3 million on a household income of $37,392. He disputes the debt, saying that he was defrauded by a recently convicted business associate into co-signing a loan to develop a hot-spring resort near his hometown of Afton, Wyo.
