Jason is a cop. He released his Critical album, after numerous delays, just a couple of months before the Michael album came out. In fact, some of his stuff, which had been around for years, wasn't registered with the US copyright office for the first time until only one day after the 'Ason' compilation material was registered by Eddie. Since his website was hacked, he has removed it, along with all his social networking accounts and has made no attempt to defend his position. Even his wife deleted her facebook after the album came out. I could tell you a lot more about Jason but this isn't the place. I doubt he will ever release any more music of his own. He got his wish, which was to "be" Michael. And just because he hasn't bought a mansion doesn't mean he hasn't made good money from Eddie.
Earlier, you pointed us towards the blog maintained by Malachi's "manager" (really, how official can that title be when we're talking about an unsigned, amateur, part-time singer?). You seemed to think it held some sort of key to the whole thing. Well, I had read it before of course, and what it shows is that Jason's "manager" was indeed called up by the Estate, and that he was so starstruck and proud at having had such a passing brush with celebrity that he couldn't help but blog about it three days in a row! All of which seems to support the official version of events, as described by the Estate's lawyer in a letter to fans. The fact the Estate called Malachi's representative before the whole controversy even became public shows that they really were adamant about not putting any illegitimate song on their album. And the fact they didn't take them out right then and there shows that whatever they were told at that point by Malachi/his manager really did convince them there was no truth to any rumor the songs were fake.
Of course, you'd probably have us believe that Malachi's manager, who's at best a small-time, no-name, struggling music entrepreneur, would manage to fool a big-shot, Hollywood-connected attorney and wrap him around his little finger.
And in the message I quoted just above, you manage to imagine that the fact Malachi got off the Internet after the controvery broke somehow proves he's guilty. Um, doesn't it just show that there was a ton of hard-core, emotional MJ fans who suddenly thought he was the worst human being since Stalin, and that he obviously didn't want his wife or himself to be exposed to those nutjobs? I'd get off the Internet too if I had to deal with... myself!
And I'm keeping the best for last. So why did Malachi take part in this criminal hoax, which could potentially ruin his life, land him in jail, destroy his marriage and make him a laughing stock and an object of scorn for the whole world? For the glory? No, since he's not admitting to any of it. For the money? But you yourself say he's still living an everyday life, busting his butt as a cop. So why did he do it? "To "be" Michael". Yeah, that seems worth it, when no one can even know about it, because if they did, he'd end up destroyed. Come on, man.
