A judge has decided to freeze the assets of Robin Lehner of the Vegas Golden Knights after a petition by a company that he allegedly owes a lot of money.

Another big twist in the ongoing story of Robin Lehner and his bankruptcy issues with the court. A judge has agreed to freeze all of Lehner's assets after allegations of frivolous spending and transferring funds.

It has already been announced that Robin Lehner will most likely not be playing for the Vegas Golden Knights again this season, after he missed all of 2023-24. Now, Aliya Growth Fund, a company that Lehner allegedly owes close to $5 million, told a judge it's worried that it won't be able to get any of that back.

"A filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas by attorneys representing creditor Aliya Growth Fund claims the company is worried it won't receive the nearly $4.8 million Lehner and his wife, Donya Lehner, owe it because they have been transferring money from their bank accounts to non-creditors, including shell companies with apparent Dubai ties." - Las Vegas Review Journal


It gets worse. Aliyah also alleges Robin Lehner and his wife spent around $1.5 million on things like gambling, lavish vacations, and big purchases since filing for bankruptcy near the end of 2022.

"Lehner received $6 million from his Knights contract from the 2023-24 NHL season, which Aliya's lawyers claim the Lehners have already spent or transferred to avoid paying debts incurred." - Las Vegas Review Journal


The judge in Robin Lehner's bankruptcy case granted the application for the freezing of his assets. All told, more than $27 million was owed to creditors, although part of that debt has already been settled. As part of that settlement, Lehner agreed to have his income, including his NHL contract, garnished in order to pay the money back.
