Jackson drops ex-accountant claim
Pop star Michael Jackson has dropped a lawsuit against an accounting firm he claimed made unauthorised deals.
It is not known whether the singer, who alleged negligence and breach of trust, has agreed a settlement with Bernstein, Fox, Whitman, Goldman & Sloan.
Mr Jackson sued the firm in December 2006 claiming it was late paying taxes he owed, as well as entering into contracts without his permission.
The company attempted to countersue the star but the action was dismissed.
The firm claimed the singer owed nearly $1m (£502,000) in unpaid bills.
Mr Jackson has maintained a low profile since his June 2005 acquittal on child sex abuse charges in California.
His lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment.

Singer says his brother and pal tried to cheat him out of fortune

Michael Jackson claims he was nearly swindled out of his fortune during his kiddie-sex trial and only the wise counsel of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and billionaire Ron Burkle saved him.
The behind-the-scenes battle over the pop star's finances is detailed in a sworn deposition he gave for a federal lawsuit scheduled to go to trial this week.
There is a possibility that Jackson himself might even be called to testify.
The seven hours of transcripts obtained by the Daily News reveal that the agitated entertainer was convinced his money woes were fueled by a cadre of disloyal advisers who stole from him while he was busy fighting criminal charges.
The Gloved One even fingered a man close to his older brother Randy as a key villain.
It was an ordeal that left Jackson bitter about the industry in which he's spent his entire life.
"It's full of sharks, charlatans and imposters," he said in testimony taken last summer in Paris.
"Because there's a lot of money involved, there's a bunch of schmucks in there," Jackson said. "It's the entertainment world, full of thieves and crooks. That's not new. Everybody knows that."
A Santa Maria, Calif., jury acquitted him of child molestation charges in June 2005, after which he retreated into the seclusion of his Neverland ranch.
But during breaks in the trial, Jackson says he was being pressured to sign off on a multimillion-dollar financing deal by Don Stabler, an associate brought in by brother Randy, his go-to guy on financial matters during much of his career.
Jackson initially took a liking to Stabler after Randy introduced them.
"He reminded me of people that live in mid-America like Indiana," Jackson testified.
Stabler was persistent, at one point during the trial sending a message through one of Jackson's Nation of Islam security guards that questioned the singer's faithfulness to his African-American heritage.
It was a sore point for someone who has denied he purposely lightened his skin.
By then, Jackson had turned to Burkle, the billionaire pal of former President Bill Clinton, for financial help. Burkle brought in Jesse Jackson, who's known Michael Jackson since his Jackson 5 days, to help with the consultation.
Burkle was calling him on the cell phone during bathroom breaks, warning him not to sign anything, Michael Jackson said.
Stabler wasn't happy, Jackson said.
"[Stabler] said, 'What's the problem? You're not down, you're with the Jews now. You're not down with blacks anymore,'" Jackson testified.
"It was unkind," Jackson added. "It was mean. It was meanspirited. It was nasty. Simply because he couldn't get me to sign something that he wanted me to sign."
The next time Jackson saw Stabler "he wanted to take my head off." And his brother Randy wasn't too happy, either.
Randy later claimed that Jackson and his staff had run up a $700,000 bill on his American Express card during the trial, which Jackson said he would repay.
It wasn't the first time that Stabler teamed with Randy in trying to get him to sign off on a deal, Jackson claimed.
At a meeting in a bungalow at the Neverland ranch, Jackson said he had his mother at his side when he fought off another proposal.
"And I vehemently told them, 'No, I am not signing this,'" Jackson recalled. "And I just remember how angry, the intensity of the anger in the room. And so they marched out."
Jackson made his comments when he was grilled by lawyers for the Hackensack, N.J., finance company that is suing the singer in Manhattan Federal Court. The firm, Prescient Acquisition, is owned by businessman Darien Dash, who claims Jackson stiffed his company out of $48 million.
According to Dash's lawyer Steven Altman, Dash was due the money for helping Jackson refinance a $272 million bank loan and secure $573 million in financing to buy out Sony's half of the Beatles' song catalogue that Jackson co-owned.
But Jackson claimed he's never heard of Dash, a cousin of hip-hop impresario Damon Dash, and doesn't remember signing any agreement.

well, Oxman is every where , his claims are documented , he told a tabloid in the uk that HE was the lawyer who brought blanket from a clinic two days after he was born and his mother was a Hispanic woman . he siad the kid was not mj's bio kid that was after mj's death immediately . He previously before MJ's death said Katherine told him " I know a jackson by looking and Blanket ain't no jackson"
Oxman was Randy's lawyer during his divorce battle, when Randy was in charge of mj's business during the trial , he fired all the previous team and hired his own team of accountants and lawyers , contrary to what the fans believe Randy did not bring in T.Mez MJ wanted Mez as soon as he was charged but Mez turned him down because he was representng Robert Blake , he had no time , and when he stepped down from being Blake attorney , MJ & Randy recontacted him , Randy met him and he agreed to be mj's attorney .
regardless, when T.mez was brought in , Randy put Oxman on the list of lawyers representing MJ . re read article written by Mez less than month ago where he talked about "poor skilled attorneies" everywhere around mj during that time trying to push Mez out , one of them was Oxman . He did not name him , but Mez DID fire him during that time, Oxman was fined By the judge and he did alot of stupid things but Randy wanted him in , Mez insisted and he was no longer representing mj in that criminal trial .
Randy's team of attorney's and lawyers got two millions to pay neverland employees and other expenses and bills like the Mikey pharmacy . but the money vanished and the results were lawsuits from everywhere . one of them was from a furniture store mj bought antics there, Randy rehired Oxman to defend mj in that lawsuit because he was still is charge , but when a company which deals with refinancing loans sued mj for 45 $ millions for breach of contract that mj's never signed and he actually never even heard of that company , he knew Randy was behind all of these things .
in the court documents , it was revealed that Randy signed the deal on behalf of mj , MJ did say under oath that Randy and his pal tried to convince him at some point to sell his share in ATV.SONY and that Ron Burkle the billionaire was the one who saved him because he was very desperate at that point during the trial and he got sick of the whole catalouge thing but Ron kept calling him during breaks warning him not to sign on anything whatever .
Mj said Randy and his pal wanted his head when he refused to go by what they told him . MJ did settle the case because Randy was authorised to sign on his behalf and mj was held responsible for that . he ended paying more than 5 millions to them , he also lost alot due to the crazy interest rate I believe it was 18 % . Nevertheless, MJ did fire the accountants and lawyers , and he sued them , Randy supported them and threatened to sue mj and claimed that MJ cheated him out of his money also and run a 700.000 $ on his credit card , and demanded that mj immediately return the money to him .
Oxman also sued mj after the trial for unpaid services and LOST . he disappeared and returned to the stage after mj's death. he immediately started talking about demerol, and that mj was completely drugged up all the time and everyone knew that. then he started talking about the kids .
Enough proof for you.
