AEG Live Entertainment and Dr. Tohme Tohme in a game against Michael Jackson. FRAUD, LIES AND DEVILISH  INTENTIONS

It is high time we analyzed the contract between AEG and Michael Jackson from the point of view of its content and intentions of the parties. Michael’s intentions were honest and clear enough – he wanted his children to see him performing, give first class shows to his fans and receive his hard-earned money for the concerts.

AEG’s intentions are something much more intricate and are not that obvious.

Fraud, lies and forgery

For lack of a real final contract with Michael Jackson the party opposing him apparently replaced the inside of the letter with clauses typical of a contract and heavily slanted in favor of AEG, combining the highly formal pages in the center of the document with the informal pages on both ends of it and thus creating an ‘agreement’ which was full contradictions in both its form and meaning. The inside of the agreement said that it was final but the last page of the same document said it was not – the closing phrases still betrayed that it was a letter and left no doubt that the final agreement was still to be negotiated:   READ MORE HERE>>>>>>>>
