LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- O.J. Simpson planned to videotape his alleged holdup in Las Vegas as a fundraising venture, The New York Daily News reports.
The newspaper cites an FBI source who said David Riccio, a sports memorabilia dealer who was Simpson's alleged accomplice, told agents about their plans three weeks before the incident happened.
An FBI spokeswoman acknowledged that Riccio had mentioned plans to confront someone in Las Vegas that Simpson said was in possession of his property. But Laura Eimiller said Riccio did not say they would be armed or that anything illegal would happen.
Agents suggested that Riccio consult a lawyer to make sure he stayed within the law.
Riccio did make a recording of the alleged holdup that he has since sold. Three of the men involved have pleaded guilty and have agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
Simpson faces a number of felony charges.
