FYI: Friedman - Michael Jackson Sued By Bahrain Prince
巴林王子可能向伦敦高级法院起诉迈克尔杰克逊,要求七百万美元的损失赔偿。
巴林王子对文章作者提到杰克逊曾向他允诺录制两张专辑,制作一场百老汇演出,并出版一本自传。但这些都没有实现,Abdulla王子对06年6月后迈克尔失信于他非常恼火。
如果这笔合约被Abdulla王子强迫执行,迈克尔至少到2012年才能脱身。
Abdulla王子在他的文件中陈述:迈克尔与2005年6月29日,也就是这位流行天王被宣判无罪后的第16天搬到巴林。在之后一年里,迈克尔的生活,包括食宿、接待客人、安全保卫工作和出行费用等都由王子全权打理,这些花费以百万计算。他还说曾支付迈克尔跟索尼和保险公司重新谈判的律师费。06年春季,索尼与迈克尔的交涉全都由巴林王子代理,他声称把迈克尔从银行破产中救了出来,并强调迈克尔处于失去乌有乡农场和Sony/ATV歌曲版权的危险当中。
2006年4月,迈克尔签订了与双海公司的合约,还有一些其他的约定。于是巴林王子为他建了一所极高水准的录音室,并为所有这些为迈克尔提供了7百万美元的预付款项。
那么迈克尔怎么用这笔钱的呢?他带着钱离开巴林去了日本,然后是爱尔兰,再也没回这个小地方。这是迈克尔真正所做的事,他甚至没再给巴林王子打过电话。
情况正如以前迈克尔和Myung-Ho Lee and Marcel Avram的事情一样,迈和他们签订了繁复的条约,许诺为他们工作从而换来现金,然后把合伙人搁浅在一边,这两个案子里迈克尔均被起诉并输了官司。
以下是这两个案子的回放:
Last year, Jackson lost another case, to former partner Marc Schaffel, who advanced the singer money and was never repaid. Schaffel won the case and a lien on Neverland. He抯 in second place for liens behind Fortress, which has a $25 million attachment to the ranch.
Jackson recently settled another case, with Prescient Capital, a firm that sued him for $48 million in fees
But the suit brought by Prince Abdulla is the worst yet. Here Jackson has consciously betrayed a huge ally who saved him at his lowest point.
How Jackson stiffed Abdulla should serve as a warning to all the singer抯 future or possible defenders. According to the prince抯 claim, Jackson left Bahrain to attend the MTV Japan Awards at the end of May 2006. He was supposed to return, but didn抰.
On July 11, the prince says, Jackson toady Raymone Bain faxed him a letter "aggressively seeking [the prince抯] personal agreement to an express release of from his obligations. ?
When that didn抰 happen, Bain sent another letter, this time stating that Jackson did not intend to work with the prince and "was unwilling to perform or observe his obligations." Another legal letter followed, and that was it.
将要发生的是:如果巴林王子没有受到迈克尔方面关于这个合约的回复,他可能准备在伦敦和美国方面诉诸法律。
