A former financial advisor to Michael Jackson said Friday that he was the person who recently turned over to executors $5.5 million, which had been "a secret between Michael and me."
一个杰克逊的前财务顾问周五声称,他就是那个移交了550万美金给遗产执行人的人,他有一个"只有我和迈克尔之间的秘密"。
Dr. Tohme Tohme responded to an inquiry from The Associated Press about documents in which administrators of the estate said they had recovered $5.5 million and substantial amounts of personal property from an unnamed former financial adviser.
Dr. Tohme Tohme就美联社关于杰克逊资产管理人声称从一个未署名的前财务顾问那里收回了550万美元的质询做出了回答。
"It was not recovered," he said. "I had the money and I gave it to them. It was a secret between Michael and me."
“这不是收回”他说,“我拥有这些钱然后我给了他们,这是迈克尔和我之间的秘密。“
He said the money, which came from recording residuals, was earmarked by Jackson for the purchase of what was to be his "dream home" in Las Vegas. He said he was in negotiations for the home when Jackson died.
他声称这些钱,来自 杰克逊准备用来在拉斯维加斯购买他的“梦中之屋”,他说与杰克逊有就购置房产的事情进行协商。
"He said, 'Don't tell anyone about this money,'" Tohme recalled. "But when he passed away I told them I had this money, and I gave it to them."
“他跟我说'不要告诉任何人这些钱'”Tohme 回忆道。“但当他离世我告诉他们(资产执行人)我有这些钱,然后我给了他们。”
He said he also turned over a large number of items from Jackson's Neverland estate that were once scheduled to be auctioned. When Jackson decided to call off the auction, Tohme said he had everything put into storage. He said he turned over that personal property to the executors as well.
他声称他还移交了大量杰克逊梦幻庄园的物品,这些物品原本是计划拍卖的。当杰克逊叫停这个拍卖的时候,Tohme 说他把所有物品都放到了仓库,他说他移交了这些私人资产。
Tohme is the financier who advised Jackson during the last year and half of his life and was instrumental in saving Neverland from foreclosure. He also was a key figure in negotiating the contracts for Jackson to do a series of comeback concerts in London.
Tohme 是杰克逊最后几年也是他大半生的财务顾问,他帮助杰克逊挽回了梦幻庄园。他同时是杰克逊一系列伦敦回归演唱会谈判的关键人物。
The estate's receipt of the money was revealed in court documents released Friday.
Attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain are serving as temporary administrators as spelled out in the King of Pop's will. The men are finishing several deals that they expect will generate "tens of millions of dollars of revenues."
律师约翰·布兰卡(John Branca)和音乐高管约翰·麦克林(John McClain)现在担任杰克逊的临时遗嘱执行人和遗产代管人。这两个男人正在完成几个预计可以产生“数千万美元收入”的交易。
They expect to submit those deals for court approval within the next week, the filings state.
他们期待向法庭提交这些交易并在下周内得到批准。
The revelations were included in two motions requesting allowances for Jackson's three children and his mother, Katherine. The petitions state that Jackson was the primary source of income for his children and his mother, who receives some money from Social Security.
Katherine Jackson currently has custody of the three children, 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael; 11-year-old Paris Michael Katherine Jackson; and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket. The children and Jackson's mother are the only members of Jackson's family eligible to receive support from the estate, according to the court filings.
The monthly stipends that Branca and McClain hope to provide the Jacksons were redacted from the court records released Friday.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff refused to grant the allowances on Thursday, opting instead to consider them at a hearing on Aug. 3. The judge did allow the administrators to enter into deals that will bring reprints of Michael Jackson's 1988 autobiography, "Moonwalk" back to booksellers.
Branca and McClain "believe that the projected cash flow and the assets of the estate are more than sufficient to cover the payment of this amount as a family allowance for the benefit of the minor children."
Jackson paid for the expenses at the Jackson family home in the San Fernando Valley, the court filings state. The administrators plan to keep that arrangement, even though some of the expenses may go to other Jackson family members who also live at the home.
Jackson's children will receive Social Security benefits, which have been applied for but payments have not yet started. Their monthly stipends from the estate may be reduced, depending on much money they receive from Social Security, the filings state. |
