Former North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson files for Chapter 13 bankruptcy

Former North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson and his wife, Yolanda Hill, have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. The New York Post reported that the couple filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, claiming they had fewer than $800 left to their name while carrying substantial debt. [1]

According to official documents obtained by WRAL-TV and cited by the New York Post, the couple submitted their filing on November 3. The paperwork shows that 58-year-old Robinson and his wife possess just $767 in liquid assets while accumulating nearly $800,000 in overall debt. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows wage earners to restructure and settle debts over several years without liquidating all personal property. [1]

The financial filing follows Robinson's unsuccessful run for governor of North Carolina two years ago. The New York Post, LGBTQ Nation, and Raw Story all reported that his gubernatorial campaign was severely damaged by resurfaced message board posts from a pornography website, where he had previously referred to himself as a Black Nazi.
