40. The wrestlers who were abused have already contradicted what Jordan says he knew and when he knew it.

This will not go well for him. This is part of civil lawsuits. The article does not specify if specific damages or how much are being sought against Jordan, but based on previous published accounts from many of the wrestlers, I can certainly see Jordan being held liable for some damages. Of course, he's never going to be held criminally responsible for anything - that ship sailed long ago.
