Wishbone G Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Actually you may be wrong. There were reports of him being on the edge of bankruptcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 They don't to seem to have concrete evidence against him - most being individual testimonies - and even if they did, jacko would get off with it... with all that money he can get the best defence lawyers in the world....

Daniel Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 if things were that bad how come he has the best legal team in america, im aware of the fact that he says hes in really bad dept, but lets just remember a few things, he own a big raunch + he owns the rights to all the beetles songs now if he was to sell his rights he'd be a very rich man again, personaly i think hes just pretending to have this dept because if he is found guilty he'd have to pay them kids a shit lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 He doesn't own all the rights to the Beatles' songs... McCartney and Yoko managed to get some of them back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His legal team are already complaining about not being paid, allegedly, and the Bank of America has threatened to seize his main asset - those Beatles rights - if he doesn't pay back a huge loan he owes them. He hasn't had a serious musical success in years, yet he is still spending up to 1 millions pounds a month... - paying the kid a shit lot is how he got off the last charge years ago (that and the truly evil Johnny Cochrane don't R.I.P.), why do you think this one has gone to trial? He can't pay them off this time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalking Rass Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 interesting i didnt know jackson was close to bankruptcy but i remember watching the infamous bashir documentary a couple of years ago and he spent silly money....He did all that for show! Aparently he went back into the shop the next day and took everything back.Its all for show.What i find funny is the fact that corey feldman and macholy kulcan (can't spell it!) have to testify. Apparently he touched them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripey Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 what odds will you give me on jacko topping himself if found guilty, or even before the trial concludes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 how did he get the rights to the beatles songs?The Beatles had given the rights to a company called Northern Songs in 1963, set up by their manager Brian Epstein and a publisher called Dick James. But Lennon and McCartney only had a 15% share of the company, so couldn't stop James selling the company in 1969 to ATV. Years later Michael Jackson was looking for a good way to invest his money, and was advised by a friend to buy into music copyrights. So when in 1985 the Beatles rights were put up for auction by ATV, he went in big and got them, outbidding the friend who had given him this advice. Who was the 'friend'? - Paul McCartney...
