LAS VEGAS -- Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner and his wife have filed for bankruptcy in Nevada, citing up to $50 million in debts to dozens of creditors.

The Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing offers a glimpse into the couple's financial problems, including money owed to no fewer than 50 people and companies, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

They filed for bankruptcy Dec. 30, months after a Wisconsin company sued Lehner for $4 million, claiming the NHL player and his father failed to make any payments last year on a business loan.

Lehner's debts also included missed payments for a collection of rare snakes he purchased for $1.2 million in 2017, according to the bankruptcy filing. Lehner keeps the snakes at his reptile farm in Plato, Missouri.

I’m gonna be honest. If you buy snakes for over a million dollars, I don’t feel bad for you being bankrupt. 

Yeah... Kinda this. My first though was holy crap how does anyone rack up 50 million dollars in debt, must have fallen on some seriously bad times. Then I read he spent a million dollars on snakes and it's like.... Yeah nevermind he's just bad with money.

Kind of mind blowing to me how someone can be so bad with money, but I guess if you aren't taught this stuff growing up and as you enter adulthood, maybe it just doesn't register.
