NHL star Robin Lehner has filed for bankruptcy after investing in exotic snakes - with the world-renowned breeder reportedly murdered by his wife.
According to a filing in the District of Nevada, the Las Vegas Golden Knights goalie filed for bankruptcy with liabilities of up to $50million, with the NHL and the Sin City franchise listed as interested parties in the case. Lehner and wife Donya filed for bankruptcy on December 30, reports the New York Post.
It has since been reported that the Swedish hockey star’s financial issues are linked to a $1.2m purchase of a collection of exotic snakes in 2017. Lehner seemed to have bought the reptiles from a breeder named Ben Renick.
