Ever since Michael died, Latoya has stuck very strong to the theory that "Michael was *MURDERED* for his catalog." She hasn't changed the story since day 1 and is still a strong believer of this. Based on what you guys know and have read, do you believe her?
And what's up with Jermaine always saying that there were people out to get MJ, and whenever he's asked who they are he says "they know who they are, and the truth is gonna come out soon". What does he mean and do you guys believe him?
Good topic. I do believe people were out to get the catalog & I do believe they sabotaged him absolutely. This is why MJ was cash poor & in debt.
They could have murdered him for his catalog & since they knew he would be worth more dead- it helps alot of people make mega bucks. Or it could be Randy Phillips & AEG were negligent along with Murray - are covering up & the people that were conspiring over MJ money are merely taking advantage of the situation. Another possibility is that all parties (or just one) - reps from Sony, AEG, Colony Capital, estate - thought that MJ was not going to be able to do the concerts & was going to back out, they would all lose money -so you could have a situation that happened supposedly with Lansky & Siegel:
During the 1940s, Lansky associate
Bugsy Siegel persuaded the crime bosses to invest in a lavish new casino hotel project in
Las Vegas, the
Flamingo. After long delays and large cost overruns, the Flamingo Hotel was still not open for business. To discuss the Flamingo problem, the mafia investors attended a
secret meeting in Havana, Cuba in 1946. While the other bosses wanted to kill Siegel, Lansky begged them to give his friend a second chance. Despite this reprieve, Siegel continued to lose mafia money on the Flamingo Hotel. A second family meeting was then called. However, by the time this meeting took place, the casino turned a small profit. Lansky again, with Luciano's support, convinced the family to give Siegel some more time.
The Flamingo was soon losing money again. At a third meeting, the family decided that Siegel was finished. He had humiliated the organized crime bosses and never had a chance. It is widely believed that Lansky himself was compelled to give the final okay on eliminating Siegel due to his long relationship with Siegel and his stature in the family.
My most likely scenario is that Murray was negligent along with AEG & the others are taking advantage of the situation. But I do think there has been alot of criminal behavior - perhaps someday it will all be on 'American Greed'.
As far as the truth coming out - looks like it will be awhile unfortunately.
