mj used the nation in 93 cuz cochran used them. thenhe did during teh trial. they're good guys. nothing wrong w/ teh nation.
I love it when people take a balanced view.
I bet you if I were to interview Joe, he would say the same thing. "Michael should have let me manage him."

See, here's the thing.... Michael Jackson died on Frank DiLeo's watch. Sad, but true. Tohme and all the other people were out of Michael's life in May. Leonard Rowe, Tohme, the chef, etc. Branca, DiLeo and others were hired. This is around the same time Michael started drastically losing weight. This is the time when Michael started texting, calling, emailing and physically speaking to fans about his displeasure with the shows and a host of other things. Again, Tohme was GONE and out of the picture.
I don't need to know what Tohme did because, well, we already know. We already suspected that he was up to no good. Roger Friedman has been squawking about Tohme for months now. There is no reason for DiLeo to do this NOW. What I want to know is why was Michael upset and despondent when YOU, DILEO became manager.... And don't feed me that BULL that he was jovial, healthy, and ecstatic because too many people know the truth now.
Stop using Tohme as a diversion and tell us why you and others turned a blind eye to Michael's deteriorating condition!! I don't care what was said in Sept 08 because guess what? Michael died when YOU were his manager! What went WRONG???
I swear.....
Well hold on for one second, leonard rowe got kicked to the curb and the chef is who kept Michael healthy until she left for three weeks and that is when michael went down. she came back and he told her i need you to keep me healthy and give me my beet juice. Also Dileo is not to blame for the shady characters surrounding Michael. Dileo came in on the end of what was kinda already out of control. Michael finally pulled it together at the last minute hence the will and re-hiring the men that guided his career Dileo and Branca.
Do we KNOW that Frank and Tohme did NOT know each other? There Tohme WAS, at the hospital at a press-conference after Michael died. . . . . Was Tohme REALLY gone? There is so little info on Tohme that it's very, very strange. All we really know is that he is involved with Colony Capital. . . . and that he was THERE, at the hospital. I find that very, very troubling.
(Oh, and the will was not recent.)
You know... I remember seeing those pictures. I didn't realize that the man was Tohme then, but he looked weird. It seemed to me that he was mad about something always and didn't want Michael taking time with fans. Can anybody post those pictures in this thread? I'll try to find some.I BELIEVE that Michael was fearful of Tohme. I also think that bringing up this stuff now, is a smoke-screen by Dileo.
There are various ways of "knowing." We can gather facts (although genuine "facts" are rare). We can also do a kind of visual analysis. Go back and LOOK at photos of Michael and Tohme, and you'll see what I mean. Attending the theater in London. Various meetings and shopping trips. Look at Tohme's demeanor. There never seems to be an expression of love for Michael, or caring, on his face. Now, look at his HANDS. He almost always seems to be gripping Michael's arm, HARD. Almost like a clenched fist. I don't recall a photo of Michael making eye-contact with Tohme. Tohme almost seems to have him "captured" in a physical grip. I was scared for Michael when I saw these photos!
So yeah, go back and look at the photos. I think they reveal a LOT.
Don't know if this is true, but it certainly would not surprise me. I've had bad feelings about Tohme from the very beginning - because he was so secretive. Then came the Julian's auction mess. Michael came so close to losing things that were important to him. I don't think he realized exactly what Tohme had agreed to until close to auction time. MJ got lucky on that one. Then Tohme being the one to start things rolling with AEG - and fans saying Michael hadn't wanted 50 shows - well, I wouldn't be surprised if that was Tohme signing for him on that. Then Colony and Neverland??? Too much interconnection and way too shady. And yeah, I put some blame for it onto Jermaine. I don't think he would hurt Michael on purpose, but I sure do think his "helping" Michael was a huge mistake.
I, too, from the beginning had my eyes on Colony and Tohme. AEG has only a limited amount of profit they can make with Michael's estate. With Neverland, the sky could be the limit - that's more like where the money trail would lead.
Also, with Tohme supposedly signing checks, it'd be damn lucky if that 5 million he returned was all he had. He could have opened accounts anywhere under any name and deposited checks freely. Him showing up at the hospital is actually scary. Could be that he didn't WANT to be "out" and that being fired could bring out all sorts of scams he'd been running. Looks like motive to me. What I would like to know is how well he knew Murray. That would sure be an interesting piece of information.
"deathly afraid of ... who this man is ... and what he may be ... capable of doing ..."
I'm wondering .....now if Michael was so deathly afraid of this man ... and if a letter from Dileo didn't make him go away ... I wonder what was he capable of doing? ...and who else may have been "afraid" of him ...? ... and what exactly was it that gave him such an ominous "power" ?

I found one:
Is nobody paying attention to this picture of MJ and Tohme? :bugeyed:bugeyed:bugeyed:bugeyed
They need to investigate whether or not it was really just $5.5 million of Michael's money that Tohme had.
Jermaine tried very hard to promote the idea of neverland being the final resting place for mj because colony knew they are going to make big $$$$ out of it .
but again no one but Murray killed mj

That is the first time I have seen a pix of them together.
Wow. I hope I never meet Tohme in a dark alley.
Why would you grab anyone like that?
How would that pr*ck like it if Michael had grabbed him like that??
Emotions run high. "Guessing and Assuming" won't and can't help us understand the situation.
I can't say everything I know but I will tell you this.
Michael was a very private / secretive person... this somehow inspired people to "guess and assume".
The recording of the Michael's recording is very private... yes his is not praising Tohme, but we all in our very private express opinions on other... I believe at one point in my life I even criticized my parents ( rise your hand if you never did ).
Michael was very rich but he was compromising his assets with his debts, he was for real risking to loose everything. He asked Tohme to help. If you want to help a shopper like Michael you must take all his credit cards from him. He must trust you and you have to be in control.
Michael did fire Tohme in May... but on Monday ( 3 days before the tragic Thursday ) he called him back.
I don't want to say he's good nor will I say he was bad.
I'd just like this community, which experienced on its own skin what it means to be accused of things based on "guessing and assumptions", not to be like 'them".
Let's not judge other people.
Human.
