Good ridence.
Too much coke?!
I still have an original THRILLER album (LP). Anyone want to buy it? Fitty Thousand Dollars!!! ;-)
Wags, your title is all wrong.....
"Young Boys Are Just A Little Bit Safer Today...."
Ya think the news will make the cover of Boys Life? ::Banana::
Yes, I stole that from The Ticket...
He died 20 years ago
Did you mean to say safer or softer?:confused:Quote:

Once again, amazingly, I agree with black roadster and would add a shrewd bussiness man.Quote:

Actually IIRC he merged it with Sony's catalog, in affect, trading half the rights to the Beatles catalog for half the rights to the rest of the Sony catalog. Tabloids are reporting that he left his share to McCartney, but that is likely a myth. In the end, I suspect his half of the Sony/Beatles catalog will be sold off to settle his massive debt. It will be interesting to see if his estate ends up with a positive or negative net worth in the end.Quote:

How much in debt was he, I heard $400 Million Dollars. ::2Dollar:
A few years back, Bank of America found him in default on about $275 million in loans. The bank tried to go after his share of the catalog (that had been put up as collateral), but he managed to re-finance the debt with a hedge fund and pay BofA off. Not sure what has happened since then.Quote:

Poor Tito.
From my limited knowledge on the subject, it starts with everyone owed money filing claim to various assets. The Attorneys executing his will then look at what is owed, what assets are held, what the will states, and what the people in the will want to do. From that, the Attorneys submit a plan to the courts, everyone wanting money bitches about the plan and how it screws them, the Judge forces the attorneys to modify the plan, and eventually approves it. In the end, there is likely one of 3 outcomes:Quote:

2) Everything will be sold, it won't be enough to pay everyone off, the people in the will get nothing, and people holding unsecured debt won't get all their money back.
3) Some assets will be sold but those in the will will finance the rest of the debt to keep the catalog and other assets together.
One thing is for sure, it will take years to sort out.
Also, count on someone in the Jackson Family (my money's on LaToya) challenging the paternity of his "too white to be black" kids and demanding DNA testing.
Was that his pet monkey?Quote:

Think how bad the promoters of his London tour are getting shafted right now. That was 50 sold out shows they have to refund.
I'd have gladly punted Michael Jackson in the sac for the way he screwed Paul McCartney out of the rights to his own songs and then licensed their use for a bunch of damn commercials. And ever since I was a kid I've thought MJ's music was about the worst kind of crap out there.
But I'm sorry to hear he's worm food now.
I'm thinkin there won't be many requests for refunds, seeing as how the value of those tickets probably just increased tenfold or more. A nice little investment for those lucky ticketholders to say the least. Did you see on the news all the mindless fans buying up all his CD's? (like there won't ever be any more produced):rolleyes:Quote:
