Re: MJ Estate sues Tohme Tohme / Tohme countersues / Summary @pg 5
Personally, I trust absolutely NO ONE who was "with" Michael in the years since the trial. Well, and before, too, in some instances. The trend of thieves and sharks in Michael's life is OBVIOUS.
I read somewhere -- I think an interview with Tohme, soon after Michael passed -- that said HIS attorney looked over the contracts. So in that sense, Michael had no one independent to vet the contractual "agreements" with Tohme.
I think it's possible/likely that the attorneys for the Estate will never uncover who the "DOES" are. The document posted here said they "didn't know." But, this civil suit is primarily about Tohme.
I find that document absolutely chilling, as to the degree of control Tohme had over Michael's finances, and his LIFE. With Tohme doing all the hiring and firing, apparently Michael was unable (or felt that he was?) to hire an independent attorney, or probably even household staff. (recalling Tohme's statement, "I built a fence around Michael.") There have been doubts expressed over the authenticity of the "Gatlin tape" where Michael said he was afraid of Tohme, and had lost control of his own money. Given the content of this lawsuit, it now seems to me that the phone call Michael made was authentic. Because it FITS with what the lawsuit asserts.
The lawsuit is about MONEY, but also about priceless personal property. The Estate has been trying, unsuccessfully, to get the return of the Julian's auction stuff, that Tohme has housed in a warehouse. They also never have had any financial accounting, at all, as to what Tohme did wiith MICHAEL'S money! I'm still wondering if this crosses the line into criminality, i.e. fraud?
I BELIEVE the statements in the lawsuit, that it was Tohme who gave away a priceless art-collection (and not Michael). I do imagine that the "gift" was with the unwritten agreement of kick-backs to Tohme of any sales from this "gift." Tohme probably didn't want to risk giving it to HIMSELF, and then having to prove that Michael did so?
So now, it is not Michael who is being robbed. Hopefully, he's at some sort of peace? It's the CHILDREN who are being robbed by Tohme, not only of money, but of the precious art made by their talented father's own hand! There is NO WAY Michael would have given away that art collection.
To me, the actions of Tohme cross the line into criminality, and I'm hoping (but not expecting) that criminal charges will be filed, and at the very least, his passport confiscated so he can't flee the country.
The "karmic wheel" turns slowly, but it DOES turn.
