 His financial troubles apparently resulted from bad loans taken
out by his parents.
"I'd say I picked the wrong people who led me down the wrong path,"
Johnson told the Dispatch. "I've got people in place who are going
to fix everything now. It's something I should have done a long time
ago."
Johnson had not had an agent since 2008.
His mother, Tina Johnson, borrowed at least $15 million in her son's
name based on his projected future earnings. Those loans resulted in
defaults.
Johnson's paychecks were being seized before he got them.
Johnson, who filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 7, has cut off contact
with his parents, according to the report.
