Michael Jackson says conspirators out to ruin him

Excite said:

Pop star Michael Jackson has stumbled across a conspiracy by former attorneys, associates and advisers to force him into financial ruin, his spokeswoman said on Monday.

The plot was discovered after someone leaked documents to Jackson showing that unnamed former lawyers for the 47-year-old singer tried to recruit others into a petition that would drag him unwillingly into bankruptcy court, his spokeswoman and manager Raymone Bain said.

"In what could be one of the biggest conspiracies in entertainment history, documents have been sent to Michael Jackson and his representatives which reveal a deliberate plan by some former attorneys as well as associates and advisers to force Mr. Jackson into involuntary bankruptcy," Bain said.

...

"In addition, there is a strong possibility that these documents will be forwarded to the U.S. Attorney General for review and possible involvement," Bain said.

I am a fan of Michael Jackson's music, so his increasingly bizarre behavior over the past 15 years saddens me. This--the man-child blaming his financial precariousness on sinister boogeymen--exemplifies how detached this pathetic individual is from the real world. His parents should have ensured he had a more normal childhood so he could handle life as an adult.

I'd love to be wrong, but I doubt I am.

Jackson said that once, and then the South Park guys really reamed Jackson with that phrase.

For my part, I don't like Jackson or his music. (They had a clip of one of his old videos on recently, perhaps in conjunction with this story... and even there, it looked like he was in blackface)

But as to being pressured into bankruptcy, I do believe it. His money problems and credit issues are almost as famous as his court cases.
