有趣的文章。Vacarro、Mann和Johnson三个人都是手中拥有MJ部分物品、想要从中谋利的人（Meilissa Johnson就是那个以MJ的名义做HEAL THE WORLD基金会的女人）。这三个人现在有了一个共同的律师，Mann和Johnson还签约与太后一起从VPM的项目中提成......而中间还出现了Oxmann给Johnson背书......错综复杂的关系。正如博客作者所说：你见过在一篇里有这么多可疑的名字的文章吗？
Melissa Johnson的案子有了令人难以置信的进展。细节如下：
Johnson已经在她与MJ遗产公司自2009年八月开始的官司中起用了两套律师班子。2010年11月1日，她又雇佣了一位新律师：Edgar B. Pease，这个名字听起来耳熟吗？
Pease是Henry Vaccaro的律师，Vaccaro就是那个通过破产清算法庭获得的号称全世界最大的一批杰克逊家族纪念品。现在Pease不仅是Vaccaro和他的Vintage Pop公司的律师，还是Howard Mann和他的Vintage Pop Media公司的律师。有一个有趣的名字，对吧？
Mann就是那个去找Katherine和Joe支持仍由Vaccaro持有的那些收藏品的加拿大商人。他们一起发行量一本书，一本日历和其它几样商品。于是现在Vaccaro、Mann和Johnson坐在一条船上了。
Johnson雇佣Pease的同一天，她还与Mann签订了关于一个业务项目的合同。根据这份合同，John会利用她与MJ有关的广阔的知识产权资源（主要是域名和商标）帮助Mann推广Vaccaro收藏品。核心是：Mann想要让利用那些藏品合法化，于是找到了Johnson这个仍然在和MJ遗产公司搏斗的好搭档。Mann会将利润的33%给Katherine，另外33%给Johnson（Mann的另一个隐蔽行为是不直接付款给Johnson，而是通过Katherine转交）。同时，Mann还要支付Johnson已经超过13万美元的债务。
John的官司为什么至今还没被法官抛出去呢？因为她请求了很多次延期。另一方面，Johnson还有不少email可以支持她的主张。她声称Shmuley Boteach（就是那个犹太教拉比）在2002年赞成她保留MJ的拯救世界基金会（HTWF）的行动。
而如果这还不够，Johnson声称2005年MJ同意 由Johnson以他的名义行动维持HTWF的生存。猜一猜谁是MJ和Johnson的中间人？Brian Oxman！Oxman今年九月甚至还出具了书面陈述说MJ确实同意Johnson的工作。
2008年Johnson联系了MJ当时的经纪人Van Alexander。这位经纪人曾经告诉她MJ团队里正在内斗，有“坏人”取代了MJ的控制权。Alexander建议Johnson将HTWF改至她自己名下，因为MJ不能管它了。Johnson又进一步联系了Al Malnik和Mark Harrison，他们两人早年都是MJ的知名代表。
那么Johnson手里有什么呢？她有将近1800个在全球注册的域名和商标。Pease声称尽管MJ于2004年为一些知识产权支付给了Johnson2.5万美元，但这个数目只是浏览域名的费用。Johnson并未将所有权交给MJ或任何他的实体。
那么Mann又有什么呢？与MJ和他的家人有关的19800张照片，26小时长的录像，273首歌。
Mann正在准备2011年1月7日的法庭证词，而Oxman将于各方争夺这些文件的前一天出庭。Oxmann将因他今年夏天接受的一次电视采访被质询，而Mann必须证明他与杰克逊家族的联系。
难以置信，对吧？你还见过一篇里面有这么多可疑名字的文章吗？

An unbeliavable story develops in the case of Melissa Johnson. Here comes the details...
Johnson already used two sets of lawyers in his case against the MJ Estate since August, 2009. On November 1st, 2010 she hired a new lawyer, Edgar B. Pease. Does this name sound similar?
Pease was an attorney of Henry Vaccaro, the man who got ahold the biggest Jackson Family memorablia on the world through bankrupcy court. Now Pease is not only the attorney of Vaccaro and his Vintage Pop, but for Howard Mann and his Vintage Pop Media. Another interesting name?
Mann is the Canadian businessman who approached Katherine and Joe Jackson to support the collection Vaccaro still owns. They have release a book, a calendar and several other merchandises. So now Vaccaro, Mann and Johnson plays in the same team.
On the same day as Johnson hired Pease, Johnson and Mann signed a contract related to a business project. According to this contract Johnson will help Mann to promote the Vaccaro memorablias with her vast collection of intellectual properties related to MJ (mainly domains and trademarks). In a nutshell: Mann tries to get validity for making money of the memorablias, and found a good partner in Johnson who is still fighting against the MJ Estate. Mann will pay 33% of the profits to Katherine and 33% to Johnson (another shady move from Mann that he is not paying Johnson directly, but through Katherine), as well Mann pays all of Johnson's debts that already exceeded $130.000.
How come that Johson's case hasn't been thrown out by the Judge so far? She prayed for extensions in the case on many occasions. On the other hand Johnson has quite a lot e-mails backing her story. She claims that Shmuley Boteach approved her activities preserving MJ's Heal The World Foundation back in 2002.
And if it's still not enough, Johnson claims that in 2005 MJ approved for Johnson to act in his name when it comes to keeping HTWF alive. Guess who was the man between MJ and Johnson? Brian Oxman! Oxman even gave a written statement this September saying that MJ really approved Johnson's work.
Johnson in 2008 contacted MJ's than manager, Van Alexander. The manager once said to her that there is a fight in MJ's team and some "bad figures" took over MJ. Alexander advised Johnson to take HTWF on her own name, because MJ can't take care of it. Johnson furthermore contacted Al Malnik and Mark Harrison as well, both of them were well known representatives of MJ in earlier years.
So what Johnson owns? She has appr. 1800 domain names, trademarks registered all around the world. Pease claims that however MJ paid Johnson $25.000 in 2004 for some intellectual property, this amount was used for reviewal of the domain names. Johnson did not gave back the ownership rights to MJ or any of his entities.
And what Mann owns? 19800 photos, 26 hours of videos, 273 tracks related to MJ and his family.
While Mann is preparing for his testimonial hold on January 7, 2011 and Oxman the day before the parties are arguing over documents. Oxmann will be questioned about his interview gave to one of the television networkds this summer. While Mann will have to proove his connections to the Jacksons.
Unbeliavable, isn't it? Have you seen any articles with so many shady names at all? |
