最近大量证词证明迈克尔-杰克逊的死因正是源于为“This is It”巡回演唱的不断排练,杰克逊家庭希望能够从AEG Live公司获得400亿美金的赔偿金。

据消息人士透露,迈克尔63的姐姐瑞比,和兄弟58岁杰梅因,以及51岁的兰迪,三人在比佛利山庄召开了一个秘密的家庭会议,讨论他们将如何分配这笔可能获得的巨大赔偿金。有消息称珍妮特-杰克逊,可以说是在迈克尔之后最成功的杰克逊成员,也曾参家庭秘密会议。9 N! g) n& |6 m+ V& l) D% m. r

据相关人士称,杰克逊家庭可以从AEG公司轻而易举的获得15亿美金的赔偿金。但是杰克逊家庭的某一成员称:“显而易见,AEG公司对迈克尔-杰克逊的意外死亡负有责任,15亿只是一个开始。”由此可见,AEG公司所要付出的赔偿金只会越来越高。
