Thank you so much for the information about the estate. I understand that Leonard Rowe - one of the people that you have listed - has written a tell all book about the underhanded dealings surrounding Michael Jackson's death. And, he has unrefutable documented evidence that the will is a phony. Have you heard anything about this. I hear that there is an excerpt on the internet that can be read, but I can't find it. Have you seen anything. It would be great if you could let us know if you run accross any more information about the book and its contents. Thanks.
Thank you for the legal updates. I understand that Leonard Rowe, one of the people on your list, has written a tell all book about the greed and corruption surrounding Michael Jackson's death and the phony will. Have you heard anything about it. I hear there is an excerpt somewhere on the web. If you do hear about it, please let us know. Again, thanks for the wonderful information that you provide.

You put a "+" next to their name...meaning the estate has settled their claim. They have since filed for a dismissal, will the money be returned to the estate? Will we ever know why they have requested a dismissal?
Thank you for your great work

I haven't heard about the Leonard Rowe documents.
I have seen the Ayscough legal documents, but it does not specify the terms of their agreement with the Estate. I guess the Estate had to pay some money.
Why did you not report on the release of Jackson's FBI Files nor the fact it has been largely ignored by Mainstream Media, the Estate, the family and just about everyone?
I went throught he FBI files, but it didn't make me excited at all, sorry.
