Re: Breaking News: Michael Jackson Sues Julien's Auction
We seem to be getting mixed information b/c in today's news thread it says that MJ was denied & his lawyers will be filing another injunction for April 15th. So MJ hasn't be granted the right to get his stuff back yet?
EDIT: I see an article has now been added to this thread saying the same thing.
I have to agree, it's mixed information all the way around. People have said he's gotten back the things he really wanted, but it doesn't appear that is the case. So my question is where is that information coming from...officially? Looks like they've sent out the catalogs already as well which boggles the mind considering the fact NO final ruling as to what will actually stay in the cat and/or what will be removed has been made? If there are other options for MJ's team to take, and based on this article it looks like they will be taking up those options, then the matter isn't really OVER. I'm starting to think they purposely sent out those catalogs "as is" to increase the odds against any judge allowing to have the catalogs amended in a way. It's kinda like "oops too late"...which is just BS. They've kept the catalogs this long, they could have held on to them even longer. At the same token, that would have been cutting it REALLY close to the actual auction date. And I'm guessing they don't want to postpone the auction for a later day becuz it has already cost them some serious money to set it up for the days they already have. Hmmmm....just MESSY! :doh:
The person who wrote about MJ wanting ALL his stuff back to complete a sale of the property for 100 million....do you have a link to that article? Where did this information come from? Sorry, I forgot to quote you and have limited time to go back...in addition to the idea that this board could go down again at any moment and I will lose, yet another post. eek! Gotta post while I can and keep it moving.
I have to agree with Ape that whatever Michael wants to do with his things is what I would like to see happen.
At the same time, as much as I hate/loathe to, Imma have to agree with sosodeaf that this is not how business works most of the time. When you make an agreement sometimes you are bound by it, regardless of changes of heart and mind. And that's the unfortunate part. ugh!
Maybe if someone was willing to write Julien's a check for the 2 million he claims he's lost, MJ could get all his things back. Extortion, I know, but this is where it's at, right now. There's a saying about how the Japanese quickly go from who screwed up (the blame) and get straight to how to fix the screw up, which makes them so successful. So maybe instead of passing blame and finding fault, it's time to move on to HOW to fix the problem. Caving to extortion may be the only option at this point cuz after the 15th of April, my guess is the 2 mil is going to go up to about 20 mil. :weeping:
On my last note, people are saying MJ signed a contract. Actually, he didn't sign anything as far as the court documents I've seen have suggested. Tohme signed the agreement and Tohme doesn't necessarily = Michael Jackson. What I will say is that it doesn't look good to a judge that someone who has done this kind of damage, contractually, to Michael yet that person remains employed by him. I won't elaborate on that for obvious reasons (board snoops) but yeah. Just...iffy that.
Anyway, this whole auction has turned out to be a long drawn out Twilight Zone episode in the last month. It's been one conflicting report after the other. I just hope when all is said and done that Michael has in his possession everything he wants to have. And if stopping the entire thing is his wish, then I wish him the best of luck. I believe in miracles and will pray for one as I can't even imagine any of that stuff going up for auction if he doesn't approve.
