Jackson disgruntled in deposition
The Daily News said in Sunday editions it reviewed seven hours of transcripts, finding that the singer believed disloyal advisers took advantage of him financially before a Santa Maria, Calif. jury acquitted him of child molestation in June 2005.
Last summer in Paris again in a deposition Michael told that there are “sharks, charlatans and impostors” in the music industry.
“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.”
Jackson said that in the child molestation trial he was given wise advice in cell phone calls with Burkle, the billionaire friend of former President Clinton during bathroom breaks.
Jesse Jackson, who has known the singer since he was a child was brought in by Burkle to help with the consultations, the newspaper reveals.
The deposition was made in preparation for a civil trial expected to begin this week in U.S. District Court. The case against Jackson was brought by a Hackensack, N.J. finance company that claims he cheated the company of $48 million.
