FOR THE RECORD:
Michael Jackson took out a short term one year loan in 2006.
At the end of the year Michael was sheduled to pay back the money in full. $25 million dollars.
Michael was fully payed up to the end of the contract.
However, he was unable to repay the loan in full and was engaged in the renegotiation of the loan. During this renegotiation, no further payment was made.
The bank system went into automatic overkill and declared him in default.
The rest, as we know is history.
I say this to say that there was no evidence that MJ couldn't make the payments on the loan, just that he couldn't pay the whole lot at once to the bank.
NOW, Just to reinforce my argument that rich people do not keep cash, I run into an AOL breakdown of Paul McCarthney's wealth.
He had to disclose this to the courts in his divorce case.
This also shows why the media is lying about MJ's wealth and why he is not broke.
£6,000. Held in cash
In a safe or under the mattress. How would you keep it out of sight? Paul could of course bury it on his Scottish estate, well away from the heather.

RICH PEOPLE do not have a lot of cash. The have assets instead. Some of the assets are liquid, which means that it can be easily exchanged for cash, but the rest of their money is tied ip in art collection and properties.
If MJ couldn't find the $25 million, it is because he doesn't carry that amount of cash around and he would have to sell valuable assets to get the money and he obviously did not want to do that.
