What I meant is that situation is exact opposite to that statement: Michael Jackson
is shareholder of Sony/ATV MP.
Also, being executive and consultant are totally different things; if "consultant" would be named in the first place, of course there would be no reason to discuss thing except for that information was a leak and not official (but we have very little information official anyway, so it would be much critical).
That could confuse side reader. Sony is shareholder of Sony/ATV MP (of course, there are other companies and people who own Japanese Sony itself, but this is irrelevant to our subject). And Michael Jackson is shareholder of Sony/ATV MP (through trust funds).
And Jackson is not sole (or any way) owner of ATV MP since such company does not exist since 1995. When company merges to other company, new single entity is created with no trace of prior two companies. So Michael owns 50% of shares of Sony/ATV MP instead of 100% shares of ATV MP before the late 1995.
I hope everything is clear now.
