The Jewish Mafia Connection

Unknown · August 2010

So I have been thinking about several people who seem to be involved in all of this in some way.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

Boteach released that book transcribing audio recordings of Michael talking. We only have the Rabbi's word that Michael was aware that he was being recorded. In the Rabbi's dateline interview, he said several unkind and unflattering things about Michael.

Just a note: "Messiah Complex" is not an actual recognized mental disorder. It is a completely fictional disorder and does not appear in the DSM.

A messiah complex is a state of mind in which the individual believes he/she is, or is destined to become, a savior. The messiah complex does not appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

Jacko's 'Ex-Rabbi': Did $100,000 Go to Charity?
Friday, April 02, 2004

The list of con men and hustlers who've taken advantage of Michael Jackson continues to grow, especially where charity causes are concerned. Jackson has been in Washington this week talking about raising money for new charities, but his old ones are still dogging him.

You will recall that Jackson was involved in something called Heal the Kids with Rabbi "Shmuley" Boteach. I've told you before that the most recent filing for Boteach's charity, L'Chaim Society, under which Heal the Kids fell, listed as one of its directors James Meiskin, a man currently in trouble with the Manhattan District Attorney's office for extortion.

But it now turns out that when you call the number for the L'Chaim Society, all you get is a recorded message that says the charity is gone and so is the rabbi. There are no forwarding numbers, according to the message. There is an old, non-working number listed in Boston for the man who signed the last L'Chaim Society tax return, one Arash Farin, and no listing anywhere for its other director, Avri Vantman.

You can always hear or see Boteach on TV or radio giving his opinion about something or other and plugging one of his books.

But one thing he doesn't seem able to opine is where all the money went from the short-lived charity. And one person who might be interested is Denise Rich, who wrote Boteach a check for $100,000 in the fall of 2000 for the L'Chaim Society right around the time Boteach and his then pal Michael Jackson came to two of her own fundraising events.

That $100,000 shows up in the L'Chaim Society's 2000 tax return. The same return shows no money whatsoever was spent on anything remotely charitable, just salaries and expenses.

Rich, who is the victim in this case, thought she was giving the money to one of Jackson's charities at the time. But a source of mine who was with Jackson at the time says Jackson never saw the money or the check. It went straight to Boteach and the L'Chaim Society.

Now, there is an even more interesting connection between all these people: Boteach's American benefactor is famous stock trader and philanthropist Michael Steinhardt. Steinhardt has been one of the staunchest supporters and business associates of Rich's ex-husband, Marc, a financier convicted of tax evasion and racketeering who was then pardoned by President Clinton in January 2001. Steinhardt lobbied hard for the pardon.

Steinhardt — whose father was the famous criminal "Red" Steinhardt with heavy ties to the mob and Meyer Lansky — has his own zoo, too. Steinhardt financed Boteach's mortgage for a $1.5 million home in New Jersey four years ago. Somehow, he managed to get him a cash loan from a local bank. Why did he do it? According to my sources, Boteach may have saved one of Steinhardt's sons from involvement in a cult, and Steinhardt was grateful. I mean, really grateful.

Yesterday when I spoke with Steinhardt, he denied that either of his sons had had problems with a cult. He said, "I financed Shmuley's mortgage." Why? "Because I liked him. And he needed a big house for socializing."

"He's an odd figure, Shmuley," Steinhardt said. "He has good and bad qualities. He's done things where his judgment is not so good, like being involved with Al Sharpton and Michael Jackson. But his intentions are good."

Steinhardt voiced surprise that Boteach had been running a L'Chaim Society here in New York for the last several years. And that was kind of interesting since he was one of the forces behind the Boteach/L'Chaim fundraiser in February 2001 at Carnegie Hall that featured a panel discussion on children starring Jackson, game show host Chuck Woolery, and others. The money made from ticket sales that evening has never been accounted for. The organization that hosted it — the Seminar Center — folded soon after.

Boteach — who is banned by the United Synagogues in Great Britian from having a pulpit — is best remembered for a quote he gave the London Independent in 1996. He said there is an 11th, unwritten Commandment: "Thou shalt do anything for publicity and recognition."

Dr.Arnold Klein

Klein is also Jewish and his father was a Rabbi. He came out with the allegations that Michael was a homosexual and having an affair with one of Klein's employees. He was investigated for possibly over prescribing drugs and for giving prescriptions in false names to Michael. No charges were laid against him. He was then appointed to the FDA, a government agency. At the time that this appointment was announced I felt that perhaps he was being rewarded for his participation in campaign to try and control Michael before June 25th and a smear campaign after June 25th.

Klein was born in Mt. Clemens, Michigan, the son of a Jewish Orthodox rabbi.

When Larry King asked if Debbie Rowe should take over maternal duties, Dr. Klein said,
"Having worked with her for 25 years, she is a very wonderful person." Klein finished his thoughts on the burial of Jackson. "I'm an Orthodox Jew, so he should have been buried already; you have to stop and put an end to this horrible atmosphere."

MJ Doc Arnie Klein -- I'll Save Your Face!
7/29/2010 2:20 PM PDT by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson's former dermatologist -- and longtime friend -- Dr. Arnie Klein will now have a say about what YOU can put in your face ... TMZ has learned he's been appointed to the Food and Drug Administration ... an arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Tommy Mottola

Mottola’s history has been colourful and varied; he has been linked to abetting the demise of racehorses, contributing to Walter Yetnikoff’s downfall, shivving Mickey Schulhof, knowing Vinnie “the Chin”, and the vague rumors of his own father being involved with the Jewish mafia.

Tommy’s girl was Lisa Clark, and for a young charmer about to drop out of Hofstra to become the next Sal Mineo, there could hardly have been a better catch. For Lisa’s father, Sam, was an entertainment-industry power, an arms-and-elbows macher who’d come up from Tin Pan Alley to create ABC Records. He was also, by all accounts, no one to mess with. “That was a Mob business,” an industry veteran says of the jukeboxes, where Sam made his bones. “Not everyone in it was a hood, but everybody who was in it was dealing with somebody who was a hood. If Sam wasn’t tough, he wouldn’t have survived.”

Along with the his muscles, Sam had dim views about his little girl’s taking up with one of the goyim. “Not a Jew?” he said, upon meeting Lisa’s Catholic date. “Not in this house.” Tommy had no problem with that. He converted to Judaism and married Lisa in 1971.

Al Malnick

Palm Beacher could be guardian of Michael Jackson’s son
Posted by Jose Lambiet | Belting it Out Friday 26 June 2009 4:00 pm
A Palm Beach County man may be holding some of the keys to the future of Michael Jackson’s family. Al Malnik, an accountant and lawyer and sometime host to Jackson, says he and Jackson signed an agreement in 2003 that makes him the executor to Jackson’s multi-million dollar estate.

Another document they signed makes Malnik the godfather, and guardian, of Jackson’s little one, Blanket, in case Jackson were to die. “I am surprised because he couldn’t be revived,” Malnik said from his sprawling $20 million-mansion in Ocean Ridge. “A 50-year-old man should be able to survive something like this.”

Malnik knew Jackson for nearly 10 years. Although he won’t confirm that, word is the two met in the waiting room of a famed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. Since then, when Jackson needed to fly below the radar like he did in when his strange behavior with young children became an issue in 2003, the star secretly sought refuge at Malnik’s beachfront property.

For months at a time. With children and entourage. “He spent six months at my house over a three-year period until 2004,” said Malnik, who freaked people out when he took Jackson to the usually-sleepy award gala of the 2003 Palm Beach International Film Festival. “He’d be here with his three kids and they’d hang out with my triplets. I never saw anything that indicated improper behavior with the children, or even problem with drugs. “He was just a great guy, a genius. He’d walk around the house with a notepad. I’d ask what he was doing and he’d say: ‘Oh, I’m just writing a song. I’ll sing it to you at dinner.’ And when he sang, it’d be perfect. Like a recording.”

Jackson’s sabbatical at Malnik’s home was also used for other purposes. Jackson’s finances were a mess, with debts piling up to $17 million. Malnik – the rumored accountant to long ago mobster Meyer Lansky, something he denies – helped Jackson straighten that out. “We refinanced his debt with Sony and Bank of America,” said Malnik. “We even squeezed another $5 million cash for him.”

However, Malnik said, he made it clear to Jackson that his problems occurred because he wasn’t putting out new CDs and touring. “I told him that since he wouldn’t stop spending, he needed to get back to work.” Jackson’s answer: “Oh, Al, I swear I’ll do it, just for you.”

How would Jackson spend? “When I turned 70,” Malnik said, “he insisted on chartering a plane and come to The Forge (Malnik’s Miami Beach eatery) for the party. That probably cost him $100,000.” Malnik, meanwhile, believes that pressure for Jackson to perform in 50 upcoming concerts in London contributed to his demise. Again, the Gloved One needed to swallow huge losses, $400 million according to rumors.

Malnik doesn’t believe that part is true. “Michael’s finances were so complicated that no one knows,” he said. “Plus, his debt was collateralized with royalty income and these future concerts.” The sad thing is, Malnik says: Jackson’s estate will make more money over the next few months than when the singer of Billie Jean was alive. With no extra work. “First, there are plenty of unpublished songs that I watched him write. Then his old songs are going to sell again like crazy. And the estate won’t have all these expenses that he incurred.”

So, who gets the dough? “I assume his three children (Paris, Prince Michael, Prince Michael II, aka Blanket, aka the baby that Jackson once dangled over a balcony),” said Malnik, 76. “He and I signed a legal document in 2003 after he asked me to be (6-year-old) Prince Michael II’s guardian if something were to happen to Michael. “Of course, I didn’t expect it ever to happen. If the family asks me, it’d be my duty to take care of him. I promised to raise him as my own.”

Jackson at the time also became the godfather of Malnik’s 11-year-old daughter, Spencer. And there’s something else Malnik says he agreed to in writing in 2003: to be the executor of Jackson’s estate. “There could always be a superseding document he signed since then. I haven’t heard anything yet, but it’s probably too early.”

And then, the two weren’t talking as often as before for the past two years. “At first, Michael wanted to move in Palm Beach County or Miami to be closer to my family,” Malnik said, confirming rumors that surfaced in 2002 that Jackson was looking at properties in the area. “He knew I was going to build a big house next door and he kept asking to move in. I had to tell him it wouldn’t be finished before 2020 because I didn’t think it was a good idea. (In reality, the new building slated to house Malnik’s extensive Asian arts collection will be completed next year.)

“Being Michael Jackson’s friend was a full time job.”
Jackson’s reps couldn’t be reached to discuss Malnik’s future involvement.

Reputed Mobster Al Malnik
Malnik, owner of the Forge restaurant in Miami and a former close associate of Mafia kingpin Meyer Lansky, befriended the pop king and let him stay in his 15-bedroom, 35,000-square-foot Palm Beach County mansion in Ocean Ridge. Jackson even sat with Malnik at the head table during Malnik's 70th birthday bash at the Forge in 2003.

The ultra-wealthy Malnik, who made a fortune in the shady and predatory title loan business and also has ties to notorious con man Joel Steinger, not only helped Jackson pay the costs of the criminal case but also reportedly helped him try to pay off massive loans Jackson took against the value of the Beatles' catalog he co-owned with Sony. The Beatles' song rights are reportedly worth about a billion dollars.

But Malnik, in his business dealings, has never been known for helping anyone without expecting more in return. He learned from Lansky, after all, and was dubbed the mobster's "heir apparent" by Reader's Digest when Lansky died in 1983. He was banned from Atlantic City casinos by the New Jersey Gaming Commission after it was determined he was associated with criminals, including Lansky and mobster Sam Cohen. (The feds charged Malnik with tax evasion in 1969 after gathering heavily incriminating audiotapes, but the case was tossed when it was determined the tapes were illegally obtained by agents.) But Malnik and Jackson at some point had a falling out. Fox News' Roger Friedman, who dug into the relationship, reported that it might have been because Jackson had surrounded himself with the Nation of Islam. Still another report claimed it was because Jackson noticed that Malnik had a statue on his property that looked like the devil.

Vanity Fair's Maureen Orth reported in 2005 that a cloak-and-dagger source named Gordon Novel told her that Jackson came to believe that Malnik was part of a conspiracy by Sony, which owned half of the Beatles catalog, to take over the entire asset of songs. Involved in the alleged conspiracy was former Sony head Tommy Mottola and Hollywood director Brett Ratner, who grew up in Miami under Malnik's wing.

Here's a passage from Orth's story:

Jackson explained to Novel that the conspirators had introduced him to Al Malnik, a wealthy Miami attorney who had once represented Meyer Lansky. Malnik later helped Jackson refinance his loans. That was not what Jackson told Novel, however. According to Novel, Jackson said he was lured to Malnik's house in Miami Beach by film director Brett Ratner to see a house so beautiful it would make him catatonic. He said that once he was there, however, Malnik, who Jackson claimed had Mafia ties, wanted to put his fingers in the singer's business. Jackson also said he received a call from Tommy Mottola while he was there, which aroused his suspicion, but he did not tell Novel that he later put Malnik on the board of the Sony/ATV Music partnership. (Reached by telephone, Malnik scoffed at the idea of a conspiracy or of his having any Mafia ties. He said, "It does not make any sense." Ratner confirmed that he took Jackson to Malnik's house and that he considers Malnik a father figure.)

This all sounds like terribly murky stuff. Were veteran financial vampires like Malnik and Mottola trying to suck every bit of worth they could out of the shaky and vulnerable Jackson? Or was Jackson just letting his paranoia get the best of him? Or was Gordon Novel (read about him here) the one who really dreamed it all up in the first place?

The question that I don't think has ever been answered is what, exactly, Malnik ever got out of Jackson. I called Malnik, and his secretary told me he wasn't available for comment on Jackson. Perhaps the truth will come out as the inevitable battlings over Jackson's estate go public. But one thing is clear: The fact that Michael Jackson had to go to Malnik for "help" is a clear indication of just how chaotic and sad his life had become.

Malnik owns Triumph and sub-companies. He bought licenses in order to sell MJ branded merchandise & clothing. Why does Malnik own so much stuff with Michael's name on it?

Brett Rattner

Is also Jewish and we already see the connection to the Jewish mob.

In 2005, Jackson described two former Jewish business associates as "leeches."

Debbie Rowe

Converted to Judaism from Catholicism is mother of Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris Michael Katherine, 11. Under Jewish law, the children are considered Jewish.

I am not saying Debbie is involved I included her to contrast the recording of Michael but there is a possibility she could be or was at some point because she was Klein's nurse. I don't assume anything nor rule anyone out. If she was involved, she may have had a change of heart at some point. I just don't know...

And before anyone suggests that I am racist, let me assure you I am not.

My post wasn't meant to be racist, the Jewish Mafia exists as does the Italian Mafia, Asian Mafia, white gangs, black gangs etc etc.

Jewish is a religion to some, to others it is a race.

And these people are all linked, the articles I have posted show the relationships. I didn't make it up...

Jewish-American organized crime
Jewish-American organized crime sometimes called the Jewish Mob, Jewish Mafia, Kosher Mafia, or the Kosher Nostra—a pun on Cosa Nostra, emerged during the late 19th century and early 20th century.

In the late 1800's in New York City, Monk Eastman operated a powerful Jewish gang that competed with Italian and Irish gangs, notably Paul Kelly's Five Points Gang, for control of New York's underworld. In the early 1920s, stimulated by the economic opportunities of the Roaring Twenties and later, Prohibition, organized crime figures such as Arnold Rothstein were controlling a wide range of criminal enterprises.

According to crime writer Leo Katcher, Rothstein "transformed organized crime from a thuggish activity by hoodlums into a big business, run like a corporation, with himself at the top." Rothstein was allegedly responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series.

During Prohibition, Jewish gangsters became major operatives in the American underworld and played prominent roles in the distribution of illegal alcohol and the spread of organized crime throughout the United States. At the time, Jewish gangs operated primarily in America's largest cities, including Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Newark, New York City, and Philadelphia. Numerous bootlegging gangs such as the Bug and Meyer Mob headed by Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel and Abe Bernstein's Purple Gang would see the rise of Jewish-American organized crime to its height. Other mobsters included Dutch Schultz, Moe Dalitz, Charles "King" Solomon and Abner "Longy" Zwillman became wealthy during Prohibition.

Jewish American organized crime was a reflection of the ethnic succession among gangsters, which has tended to follow the immigrant waves in the United States: English, German, Irish, Jewish, Italian, Asian and Latino. Ethnic involvement in organized crime gave rise to alien conspiracy theories in the US law enforcement community, in which the conception of organized crime as an alien and united entity was vital. The involvement of a small percentage of recent immigrants in organized crime created a lasting stereotype of devious immigrants corrupting the morality of native-born Americans. Organized crime was a complex intertwined web of criminal relationships between the recently arrived Jewish and Italian criminals cooperating with (even sometimes subordinate to) criminals of other ethnic groups, such as the Irish-American organized crime networks established before the 1920s

Late 20th Century
In more recent years, Jewish-American organized crime has reappeared in the forms of both Israeli and Russian mafia criminal groups. The Soviet and Russian émigré community in New York's Brighton Beach contains a large Jewish presence, as does its criminal element. Some of these newer American-based Jewish gangsters, such as Ludwig Fainberg (who has lived in Ukraine, Israel and the United States but never Russia), share more in common culturally with Russia and the Soviet republics than their predecessors such as Meyer Lansky.

Israeli mobsters also have a presence in the United States. Yehuda Attias arrived in New York in 1987 and was ultimately murdered in January 1990. The Israeli mafia (such as the Abergil crime family) is heavily involved in ecstasy trafficking in America.

Jewish-American organized crime and Israel
Several notable Jewish American mobsters provided financial support for Israel through donations to Jewish organizations since the country's independence in 1948. Use of Israel's Law of Return, which became an option for Jewish-American gangsters fleeing criminal charges or facing deportation from the United States such as Joseph "Doc" Stacher, was denied to Meyer Lansky by then Prime Minister Golda Meir who had been informed by the United States government of Lansky's long history in organized crime.

This is a work in progress, it is a web of connections and deceit.

Dieter Wiesner - is connected to Marc Schaffel.

Dieter Wiesner
Unsavory German Jewish Businessman
Wiesner has concocted countless Jackson business schemes. He reportedly owns sex clubs in Germany and was booted from the inner circle by Leonard Muhammad.

Dieter Wiesner's official website
Here you will find all relevant information about 20 years of professional and successful business- and talent management by Dieter Wiesner. "Michael Jackson was not only a longtime business partner to me, but a friend."

Profile
Dieter Wiesner's name is well known throughout the worldwide merchandising and licensing industry since more than 20 years. He has also made a name for himself as a successful business manager for several music artists, professional athletes which quickly lead him beyond German and European borders.

In 1996 Dieter Wiesner got to work with pop superstar Michael Jackson, who had just launched his world tour at that time. Wiesner had the idea to release an enegery-beverage with Jackson's name, logo and likeness on. During the massive tour Michael Jackson intensified the collaboration with Dieter Wiesner.

Dieter Wiesner attended most of the concerts during the tour and designed new business ventures for the pop icon.

In 2002 Wiesner became his personal manager on Jackson's request.

Defamation?
Thursday, November 24, 2005
The Anti-Defamation League has asked that Michael Jackson apologise for allegedly calling Jews "leeches" during a "private" telephone call, which was recorded two years ago.

The "private" call was aired on ABC's "Good Morning America", and is allegedly a voice message left by Jackson for his former adviser, Dieter Wiesner.The message allegedly accused Jews of leaving performers penniless.

A transcript of the message reads:
"They suck them like leeches ... I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of it. They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything and end up penniless. It's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose."

Dieter Wiesner is suing Jackson for $64M.

Another Lawsuit
Wednesday, November 23, 2005
Dieter Wiesner, a former adviser to Michael Jackson, has filed a $64M action against Jackson for alleged breach of contract and fraud. Wiesner claims that he paid Jackson millions of dollars for rights to merchandise his name and likeness, that were not Jackson's to sell. Wiesner alleges that Jackson had sold the rights to another buyer prior to Wiesner, who then sued Wiesner.

That suit was settled, and Wiesner lent Jackson more money. The total alleged cost to Wiesner was $9M, to secure the rights and pay the settlement. Having secured the rights, it seems that Wiesner made little money out of them; as, according to Weisner, Jackson refused to cooperate and interfered with merchandising efforts. Wiesner then claims that Jackson fired several advisers and asked Wiesner to become his personal manager around 2002.

Wiesner alleges that he was then fired in 2003.

So it was Dieter Wiesner who released that audio recording of Michael which is the original post in this thread or was it Marc Schaffel who released this recording? It depends which story you read...

Dieter Wiesner released to ET audio messages left by Michael in which Michael states he is afraid for his life. BUT if you listen to Dieter's comments he spins this as Michael was a drug addict and therefore what he is saying is drug induced paranoia. Are these the comments of a supportive friend or is there another agenda here?

The baffling case of Jacko, the gay porn king, and bags of cash
By John Hiscock in Santa Monica Sunday, 2 July 2006
While Michael Jackson holes up in Bahrain, his legal problems are piling up in California, where two lawsuits are casting new light on his bizarre lifestyle and lavish spending habits, as well as further eroding his rapidly depleting bank balance.

Testimony has now begun in a breach-of-contract trial in Santa Monica which pits Jackson against Marc Schaffel, his former associate and financial adviser. Mr Schaffel, who produced gay porn videos before forming business links with Jackson in 2001, claims the singer owes him $3m (£1.6m) in expenses, salary and cash loans.

Another lawsuit, brought by Jackson's former manager Dieter Wiesner, seeks £45m from the embattled former King of Pop and is due to be heard later this year. Both of the lawsuits are backed up by tape recordings of rambling and sometimes incoherent telephone conversations Jackson had with the two men.

Mr Schaffel also figures in the lawsuit brought against Jackson by Dieter Wiesner, who asserts that Jackson begged him to become his personal manager in 2002, when his personal finances were in crisis, only to "rudely and abruptly" fire him the following year. "True to form, Jackson never paid Wiesner for the countless hours he spent rescuing Jackson from the brink of financial disaster," the court papers state.

Mr Wiesner's lawsuit is backed by tapes of messages that Jackson left for Mr Schaffel. On one recording, Jackson descends into a bizarre rant against Jews, dubbing them "leeches" who he says conspired to leave him penniless. "They suck ... it's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose," he said.

This is the same tape recording being referenced over and over...

More on Mottola and Malnik...

The Malnik Family's Michael Jackson Photo Dump
By Bob Norman, Mon., Jun. 29 2009
The source of this information is Gordon Novel, a character of intrigue himself from the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, and Waco. Novel worked in the Lyndon Johnson administration and spent years working as an investigator for former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark. Vanity Fair's Maureen Orth first reported that Novel had met with Jackson in 2005 in an attempt to get the investigator to find proof that Malnik was part of a conspiracy involving Sony's Tommy Mottola and film director Brett Ratner, a Malnik protoge, to take over his assets.

Novel said he flew in March 2005, about a month into Jackson's trial, from his home in New Orleans to the Los Angeles home owned by Jackson's parents, where he stayed several days before Jackson finally had him over to Neverland Valley. He said the two of them met in a bungalow on the property before Jackson drove him around the ranch in an old pickup truck. "The whole thing centered on Tommy Mottola setting him up," Novel told me. "Mottola and him were at odds, and Jackson's information was that Mottola and Malnik got together to f**k him. He said he believed
Malnik was representing the Mob." He said Jackson had special loathing for Malnik because he felt betrayed by him. When I told him that Malnik was saying that Jackson had made him executor of his estate, he was dubious.
"He had split up with Malnik," said Novel. "He never said anything about Malnik being executor of his will. And based on how pissed off Jackson was at him at the time, I wouldn't believe it on a bet.

"When asked what Jackson was like at the meeting, Novel didn't hesitate: "He was afraid, very very afraid. He didn't want to go to jail and didn't think he would be treated very well there." Was he fearful that he would be killed in prison? "Yeah, you can say that," Novel said. But he also said that Jackson's mental state was "excellent" and that the pop star was lucid and extremely intelligent.

He didn't believe Jackson was on any drugs during the meeting. I asked Novel if he believed Jackson's theory about the conspiracy against him. He said that he thought Jackson was not guilty of the criminal charges and that he was probably set up, but he had no idea if Mottola was involved. "He thought that Mottola was Mob-connected and that Malnik was representing the Mob, but I can't vouch for any of that shit," Novel said. "I don't have anything against Tommy Mottola and don't know if what he thought was true or not. I don't want to get on Mottola's bad side. My sources in New York say he's a dangerous guy."

Novel never conducted an investigation and said that, in the end, Jackson "deadbeated" him. He said that when he got to the airport to fly home, there was no ticket as promised by Jackson. He said that he contacted Jermaine and that the family paid for his flight. He said Jackson still owes him $25,000 for his consultation at Neverland. (Orth
reported in Vanity Fair that Jackson apparently took a lot of Novel's advice, but at that time, Novel claimed Jackson owed him just $5,000.) "He was a tremendously talented deadbeat," Novel said. "Michael Jackson would deadbeat King Kong."

It's clear that whether Malnik had any ulterior motives in befriending Jackson, the pop star ended up believing he was an enemy out to get his Beatles songs. We'll have to wait and see if the world media continues to eat out of Malnik's hand or if it actually reports the truth about the relationship and its bitter end.

Debbie Rowe Reaches Out to Jackson Family
By Champ Clark and Eunice Oh Monday June 29, 2009 10:10 PM EDT
In the wake of Michael Jackson's death, Debbie Rowe, the singer's ex-wife and mother of his two eldest kids, has left multiple messages for the Jackson family in hopes of getting in touch – though she's been unsuccessful – a friend tells PEOPLE.

"We've been trying to reach them at different numbers," says Marc Schaffel, a former Jackson business associate who's close with Rowe. "But we don't know if who we've been leaving messages with have gotten the messages."

Debbie Rowe, Marc Schaffel Wing It to Tokyo
6/23/2010 8:40 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
TMZ was at LAX yesterday when Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson's former confidante Marc Schaffel boarded an American Airlines flight to Tokyo.

The two are tight, and Schaffel apparently still has strong connections to the Jackson family, even though MJ and Schaffel had a major falling out and ended up suing each other.

Schaffel shot an interview with Katherine recently to promote her book, "Never Can Say Goodbye." Rowe was mum at LAX, but Schaffel said he's been friends with Katherine for a long time. As for why they're heading to Tokyo ... we're told Schaffel is releasing a documentary video he shot while he was working with Jackson. It will play on 200 screens in Tokyo.

As I believe that Michael is alive, he could be manipulating these people now to his own advantage hence the connections mentioned to the Jackson family. Also by having recent media reports about these individuals it makes some of us want to look into their HIStory and find these connections.

And finally Schaffel also happens to be Jewish, coincidence or is there a pattern here?

There are even more people connected to all of this so again to be continued...

Al Malnik Claims Jackson Gave Him Custody Of Child
Long-time Friend Of Late 'King Of Pop' Says Jackson Had Asked Him To Care For Prince Michael In Case Of Tragedy

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS) ― One day after the death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, there seem to be more questions than answers about the final moments of the eclectic singer. An autopsy was performed on Friday, but results have yet to be revealed. As news of the singers death sinks in, the focus has now turned to Jacko's children and who will take custody of them, and a South Floridian may have something to say about it.

Longtime Jackson friend and Miami businessman Al Malnik told CBS station WFOR-TV in Miami in an exclusive interview that he and Jackson had a signed document that said Malnik could take custody of the youngest child, Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket.

"I guess in 2003 or 2004, he asked me if anything ever happened to him, if I would become godfather and parent to Prince Michael. So I signed a document at that time agreeing to bring up Blanket in the event anything happened to him," Malnik said.

According to Malnik, he was the executor of Michael Jackson's will in 2004. But he has no idea what has transpired since then, or if there is a new, updated will. Still, he's sure the children will be taken care of for years to come. "I think the royalty income will be bigger than ever before. And, Michael will have no further expenses because he's no longer here. So the kids will be well provided for as a result of his demise," Malnik said.

Serenity , I would settle in with a cup of tea, to really digest this continuous research you are doing into all the players.
I think,before it is all over with, all your hard work may turn up more dots to connect..
but , are you only looking at people who may have had wanted to do harm to Mike, or also people who may have been on Mike's side. People who may have helped me to do the hoax.??/.If there is a hoax.

Just thought those type of people may also important look at, to complete the picture?
Just my thought..
Keep up the good work.
Peace.

I intended this thread to show the conspiracy against Michael and the involvement of the Jewish mafia or connections between individuals that link back to the Jewish Mafia. If someone wants to start a thread about those who may have helped Michael, they are free to do so but that is off topic and not related to the original post or intention of this thread.

There also is already a post on the forums about individuals who may be involved in the "hoax".

This is a work in progress, it is a web of connections and deceit.

Dieter Wiesner - is connected to Marc Schaffel.

Dieter Wiesner
Unsavory German Jewish Businessman
Wiesner has concocted countless Jackson business schemes. He reportedly owns sex clubs in Germany and was booted from the inner circle by Leonard Muhammad.

Dieter Wiesner's official website
Here you will find all relevant information about 20 years of professional and successful business- and talent management by Dieter Wiesner. "Michael Jackson was not only a longtime business partner to me, but a friend."

Profile
Dieter Wiesner's name is well known throughout the worldwide merchandising and licensing industry since more than 20 years. He has also made a name for himself as a successful business manager for several music artists, professional athletes which quickly lead him beyond German and European borders.

In 1996 Dieter Wiesner got to work with pop superstar Michael Jackson, who had just launched his world tour at that time. Wiesner had the idea to release an enegery-beverage with Jackson's name, logo and likeness on. During the massive tour Michael Jackson intensified the collaboration with Dieter Wiesner.

Dieter Wiesner attended most of the concerts during the tour and designed new business ventures for the pop icon.

In 2002 Wiesner became his personal manager on Jackson's request.
http://www.dieterwiesner.com/

Defamation?
Thursday, November 24, 2005
The Anti-Defamation League has asked that Michael Jackson apologise for allegedly calling Jews "leeches" during a "private" telephone call, which was recorded two years ago.

The "private" call was aired on ABC's "Good Morning America", and is allegedly a voice message left by Jackson for his former adviser, Dieter Wiesner.The message allegedly accused Jews of leaving performers penniless.

A transcript of the message reads:
"They suck them like leeches ... I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired of it. They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars and everything and end up penniless. It's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose."

Dieter Wiesner is suing Jackson for $64M.

Another Lawsuit
Wednesday, November 23, 2005
Dieter Wiesner, a former adviser to Michael Jackson, has filed a $64M action against Jackson for alleged breach of contract and fraud. Wiesner claims that he paid Jackson millions of dollars for rights to merchandise his name and likeness, that were not Jackson's to sell. Wiesner alleges that Jackson had sold the rights to another buyer prior to Wiesner, who then sued Wiesner.

That suit was settled, and Wiesner lent Jackson more money. The total alleged cost to Wiesner was $9M, to secure the rights and pay the settlement. Having secured the rights, it seems that Wiesner made little money out of them; as, according to Weisner, Jackson refused to cooperate and interfered with merchandising efforts. Wiesner then claims that Jackson fired several advisers and asked Wiesner to become his personal manager around 2002.

Wiesner alleges that he was then fired in 2003.
http://michaeljacksonstrial.blogspot.com/2005_11_20_archive.html

So it was Dieter Wiesner who released that audio recording of Michael which is the original post in this thread or was it Marc Schaffel who released this recording? It depends which story you read...

Dieter Wiesner released to ET audio messages left by Michael in which Michael states he is afraid for his life. BUT if you listen to Dieter's comments he spins this as Michael was a drug addict and therefore what he is saying is drug induced paranoia. Are these the comments of a supportive friend or is there another agenda here?

The baffling case of Jacko, the gay porn king, and bags of cash
By John Hiscock in Santa Monica Sunday, 2 July 2006
While Michael Jackson holes up in Bahrain, his legal problems are piling up in California, where two lawsuits are casting new light on his bizarre lifestyle and lavish spending habits, as well as further eroding his rapidly depleting bank balance.

Testimony has now begun in a breach-of-contract trial in Santa Monica which pits Jackson against Marc Schaffel, his former associate and financial adviser. Mr Schaffel, who produced gay porn videos before forming business links with Jackson in 2001, claims the singer owes him $3m (£1.6m) in expenses, salary and cash loans.

Another lawsuit, brought by Jackson's former manager Dieter Wiesner, seeks £45m from the embattled former King of Pop and is due to be heard later this year. Both of the lawsuits are backed up by tape recordings of rambling and sometimes incoherent telephone conversations Jackson had with the two men.

Mr Schaffel also figures in the lawsuit brought against Jackson by Dieter Wiesner, who asserts that Jackson begged him to become his personal manager in 2002, when his personal finances were in crisis, only to "rudely and abruptly" fire him the following year. "True to form, Jackson never paid Wiesner for the countless hours he spent rescuing Jackson from the brink of financial disaster," the court papers state.

Mr Wiesner's lawsuit is backed by tapes of messages that Jackson left for Mr Schaffel. On one recording, Jackson descends into a bizarre rant against Jews, dubbing them "leeches" who he says conspired to leave him penniless. "They suck ... it's a conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose," he said.

Here is more on Tommy Mottola and connections:

His first wife was Lisa Clark, she is the daughter of Samuel H. Clark.

Sam Clark
An entertainment-industry power, an arms-and-elbows macher who’d come up from Tin Pan Alley to create ABC Records. He was also, by all accounts, no one to mess with. “That was a Mob business,” an industry veteran says of the jukeboxes, where Sam made his bones. “Not everyone in it was a hood, but everybody who was in it was dealing with somebody who was a hood. If Sam wasn’t tough, he wouldn’t have survived.”

Tommy Mottola's father Thomas Mottola Sr. was a customs broker with ties to the Mob.

Walter Yetnikoff

Walter Yetnikoff is a former CBS Records/Sony Music executive. Yetnikoff left his job in 1990 and has since gone on to write his memoirs, "Howling at the Moon" (published in 2004). During his career at CBS, he influenced the careers of Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand and Clive Davis.

Yetnikoff was born in Brooklyn and graduated magna cum laude from Brooklyn College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. After earning his law degree at Columbia University, he joined the Rosenman & Colin law firm, which represented CBS Records. He then joined the CBS Records law department and rose to become head of the department. When Clive Davis was sacked by CBS for financial impropriety, Yetnikoff was promoted to head CBS Records.

Renowned for his "colorful" personality and his abrasive/abusive management style[citation needed], Yetnikoff was a key protagonist of the 1990 book Hit Men: Powerbrokers and Fast Money Inside the Music Business, Frederic Dannen's landmark exposé of the shady dealings by major American record labels in the 1970s and 1980s. The book focused on the practice of payola; the record companies' controversial connections with "The Network", a loose grouping of so-called "Indies" (independent record promoters) who were, by the 1980s, being paid tens of millions of dollars annually by major record labels to promote new releases to American radio stations and who could reputedly make or break a new record.

In the book, Dannen recounted Yetnikoff's rise to power at CBS, his "war" with hated corporate rival Warner Music Group, then owned by Warner Communications, its head Steven J. Ross and his escalating conflict with CBS Records Deputy President Dick Asher -- who came to oppose the use of "Indie" promoters — which culminated in Yetnikoff's controversial sacking of Asher in April 1983. According to Dannen, Yetnikoff strongly favored the use of "Indies," and in the early 1980s he opposed a plan by the RIAA to investigate the use of "Indie" promoters after a series of NBC News reports revealed apparent links between prominent "Indie" promoter Fred DiSipio, his then right-hand man Joe Isgro, and members of the Gambino crime family, including notorious New York Mob boss John Gotti.

The book also examined Yetnikoff's intimate links with other major industry figures, including music industry "Godfather" Morris Levy, prominent music industry lawyer Allen Grubman, Michael Jackson's one-time manager Frank Dileo and former artist manager Tommy Mottola, whom Yetnikoff appointed to a senior post at CBS Records after its sale to the Sony Corporation in 1988.

A Music King's Shattering Fall
By Richard Behar | Time | Jun 24, 2001
With his stocky build, spread-collar shirts and locker-room charm, Walter Yetnikoff fit right in among the sharp-elbowed power brokers in the music business. He was tone-deaf as well, yet for 15 years the colorful and fiery Yetnikoff steered CBS Records (major labels: Columbia, Epic) to world prominence. He boosted its revenues from $485 million in 1975 to well over $2 billion last year, when it ranked second only to the Warner Music Group. In the process, Yetnikoff managed to foster some of the most profitable talent ever to reach the music industry, from Michael Jackson and Billy Joel to the Rolling Stones and the pop phenom New Kids on the Block.

Yet in the late 1980s his reputation for platinum alchemy began to tarnish abruptly. Associates say Yetnikoff became consumed by personal vendettas against a growing number of enemies -- real or imagined -- in the $20 billion global music industry. His combative style seemed increasingly to grate his employer, Sony, which had bought the record giant in 1988 for $2 billion. Last week a frustrated Yetnikoff, 57, suddenly bowed out as chief executive. He explained only that he planned to take a sabbatical of several months and then work on unspecified long-term projects with the company.

His departure may have been the result of a coup staged by his handpicked No. 2 man, Tommy Mottola, according to industry speculation, though no successor has been named. Another possible catalyst for Yetnikoff's resignation is his depiction in Fredric Dannen's new best seller, Hit Men, a graphic portrayal of the music industry's seamy underside. In the book, Yetnikoff comes off as a crude, tantrum-throwing and philandering egomaniac. "He's a brilliant man with a strong self-destructive streak," contends Dannen. Says David Braun, a top music lawyer in Los Angeles: "Walter got lost in the fantasy of his job, his power and his ability to control a huge part of the pop culture."

The son of a Brooklyn house painter, Yetnikoff joined CBS Records as a lawyer in 1961 and rose to the president's job by 1975. He proved to be a superb negotiator, a world-class schmoozer and a self-described "rabbi, priest, marriage counselor, banker and shrink" to the leading rock stars. As the years wore on, however, Yetnikoff seemed to relish waging wars on those he felt were disloyal.

Yetnikoff's devilish humor, irreverence for authority and barbed tongue were legendary. At a CBS Inc. shareholders meeting in 1986, he fell asleep at the dais -- or pretended to. He liked to refer to former CBS chief Thomas Wyman as "the goy upstairs" and to Wyman's successor, the frugal Laurence Tisch, with whom he feuded openly, as "the kike upstairs." When Tisch sold the record company to Sony, Yetnikoff, who engineered the deal, walked away with a $20 million bonus.

He soon cost his new bosses a bundle. As Sony planned its $3.4 billion takeover of Columbia Pictures last year, Yetnikoff tried to help out by orchestrating what turned into a costly $500 million deal to hire Jon Peters and Peter Guber, the producers of Batman, to run the movie studio. But rival Warner Bros. contended it had a contract with the producers and sued Sony. In a settlement, Warner won valuable properties, including half-ownership of the CBS record club.

Since the Sony takeover, Yetnikoff's relationships with his superstar artists have deteriorated. Bruce Springsteen felt so ignored by Yetnikoff, music insiders claim, that the Boss was considering leaving CBS for rival Geffen Records. Michael Jackson, a CBS gold mine since 1975, has also been increasingly courted by Geffen.

Yetnikoff has been dogged by his associations with the industry's leading roughneck, Joseph Isgro, who reputedly has ties to the Gambino crime family. Isgro is a boss of the "Network," an alliance of independent record promoters. He was indicted last year and charged with distributing payola, payments of cash or cocaine, on behalf of the major record labels to radio stations to get certain Top 40 records played. But last week a Los Angeles federal judge threw out the case against Isgro, accusing the prosecutors of "outrageous government misconduct" for withholding evidence. Yetnikoff has never been directly linked to payola, but he failed to use his position to fight the practice. "Without a doubt, Yetnikoff was the closest record executive to Isgro," claims Hit Men author Dannen. "Isgro perceived him as an ally."

In the end, perhaps three decades in the bumping, grinding music industry are more than any mogul can stand. During the Guber-Peters deal last year, Yetnikoff began rehabilitation for substance abuse. "I think Walter is just fed up," says music-industry veteran Lynda ("Boom-Boom") Emon, a former mistress of Yetnikoff's who is writing a kiss-and-tell book. "He came to the end of his rope and said, 'What do I need this for? I'm rich.' "

Morris Levy
Morris Levy was an American music industry executive, who is best known as the owner of the record label Roulette Records. He was born Moishe Levy in The Bronx, New York City, New York, and generally known as Morrie Levy to insiders in the industry.

Levy quickly became one of the wealthiest executives in the record business, and handled distribution on many major labels in addition to his own companies. His empire included several record-pressing and tape-duplicating plants, printing presses, and other ventures, some of which authorities suspected may have been used for making pirated records or "back-door" copies of legitimate albums, distributed outside normal channels.

In the mid-1970s Levy filed a much-publicised lawsuit against John Lennon for appropriating a line from the Chuck Berry song, "You Can't Catch Me" (for which Levy owned the publishing rights) in The Beatles' song "Come Together." Lennon ultimately settled with Levy by agreeing to record three songs from Levy's publishing catalogue during the sessions for his 1975 LP Rock 'n' Roll, co-produced with Phil Spector. After complications, due to Spector, and attempts at a second agreement failed, Levy used demo recording from Lennon to produce and release "Roots." Levy successfully sued Lennon with an award of $6,795, but was countersued by Lennon, Capitol, EMI, and Apple for an award of $145,300.

Levy sold Roulette Records and his publishing rights for an estimated $55 million. Although investigations into his affairs began in the early 1950s, it was not until 1986 that law officials caught up with Levy. He was tried and convicted on charges of extortion but died in Ghent, New York before serving any time in prison.

Decades after Levy's death, the HBO mafia series The Sopranos occasionally featured the character of "Herman 'Hesh' Rabkin", portraying a mob-connected record mogul who had made a fortune defrauding mostly R&B performers, underpaying their royalties, pressing pirated records, and participating in a lot of underworld activities. Hesh was frequently shown at his lavish New Jersey horse-racing stables, which drew further comparisons to Morris Levy.

Morris Levy was a notorious music business mogul who was involved in many facets of the industry. In a 1957 article, Variety dubbed Levy the "Octopus" of the music industry because he had an outstretched hand in nearly every area of the growing business. Decades later another writer dubbed him "The Godfather," a nickname reflecting both his power in the industry (a supposed net worth of $75 million by the early '80s) and his reputed mob ties. The founder of Roulette Records and onetime proprietor of New York City's famous Birdland nightclub, as well as a notorious crook who swindled artists out of their owed royalties, Levy represents everything adventurous and underhanded about the infancy of rock & roll.

Michael Franzese
Michael Franzese, is a former New York mobster with the Colombo crime family who was heavily involved in the gasoline tax rackets in the 1980s. Since then, he has publicly renounced organized crime, created a foundation for helping youth and become a motivational speaker.

Franzese was involved in many business ventures, from operating automobile dealerships to producing movies. Franzese was also a silent partner with Norby Walters and Lloyd Bloom in a sports management agency. Franzese later testified that Walters invoked his name to frighten college athletes into signing contracts designating Walters as their agent for negotiating contracts with professional sports teams. Bloom was later found murdered in a hotel room. While no connection linking the murder to Michael Franzese was ever made, the Columbo crime family is thought by law enforcement to have been behind the murder.

“I heard from guys on the street that, you know, Tommy was a guy that understands us,” Franzese told Dannen. “Let’s put it this way: I don’t know that affiliation he’s had. I’m not going to say that about him. But he’s a guy that could relate to somebody like me… Tommy, we knew he was a friend of ours.”

What made Franzese’s comments noteworthy was his previous occupation. Until he became a cooperating government witness, he’d been a high-ranking capo-regime in the Colombo crime family, a career at which he’d been so proficient that Fortune listed him as one of the top Mafia bosses in the country.

Norby Walters
3 Agents and Player Charged in Fraud of Colleges
By WILLIAM E. SCHMIDT, Special to the New York Times Published: August 25, 1988
CHICAGO, Aug. 24— A Federal grand jury indicted three agents today, finding that improper payments and threats of violence were used to induce dozens of athletes to sign professional management contracts while they were in college.

Mr. Valukas said that Norby Walters and Lloyd Bloom, two agents who were the targets of the 18-month inquiry, had warned some of the players that they had friends who would visit the athletes and break their legs if they tried to back out of deals they had signed.

Mr. Bloom and Mr. Walters were charged by the grand jury with one count apiece of racketeering conspriacy, one count of racketeering, five counts of mail fraud and one count of conspiring to commit extortion, mail fraud and wire fraud in connection with their efforts to sign college athletes to contracts in violation of intercollegiate rules.

Michael Franzese, who has been identified by Federal prosecutors as a member of the Colombo crime syndicate and is serving a 10-year sentence for extortion, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. He was identified as the man the two agents used to threaten athletes.

The Government contends that the two men used Mr. Franzese's reputation as a member of a New York City organized crime family ''to obtain and retain clients by extortionate means,'' including threats of economic or physical harm.

The Government alleges, for example, that in 1981 Mr. Walters tried to become the booking agent for a tour by the Jackson Five, the popular musical group that consisted of members of the Jackson family, including Michael Jackson. When another agent was selected, the Government says, Mr. Walter and Mr. Franzese told the group's manager there would be no tour if they were not given the bookings.

Later, Mr. Walters and a man described as an associate of Mr. Franzese threatened the group's manager, the indictment says. Federal officials did not say what happened after the alleged threats were made.

The Oscar Party That Bucks Hollywood's Hype Habit
Posted: March 5, 2010 01:55 PM by Martin Lewis
We are all accustomed to the excesses of Hollywood. Nowhere more apparent than in the boastful press releases touting tight movie budgets and expansive box office returns (though as if by magic, the costs always expand and the theater receipts always contract when it comes to paying the profit participants.)

Press releases sent out in advance of parties, premieres, receptions and launch events are also notoriously hyperbolic. Promising the photographers and TV news crews multitudes of celebrities -- many of whom don't actually show up. It's just standard issue Hollywood biz.

But there is a party taking place on Oscar night that for the past 19 years has actually bucked Hollywood's habit of over-statement by consistently UNDER-selling itself. The party is the annual Academy Awards viewing party hosted by super-agent Norby Walters.

Walters -- who made his name representing leading music personalities including Luther Vandross, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick -- and cemented his talent relationships by running Hollywood's most popular poker nights -- launched what has become an L.A. tradition in 1990 at the Mondrian Hotel. He conceived his party as a bash where some of Hollywood's biggest names who were NOT nominated in that year's Oscars could gather and enjoy the ceremony among fellow thespians not in competition. Employing what was certainly entertainment industry enthusiasm, he dubbed his party "Night Of A Hundred Stars". He was not expecting exactly a hundred luminaries to show up -- but it was a good enough name. Much to his delight -- and probably his surprise -- his first party attracted well over a hundred stars. Academy Award winners... Emmy winners... musicians... who weren't in contention for an Oscar that year -- but wanted to do something a little more glamorous than watching the ceremony eating Chinese food in their PJs.

Walters reprised his party in 1991 at the famous Roxbury Club on Sunset Boulevard. The party name referencing "100 Stars" that had proven to be that rarest of things in L.A. an UNDER-statement -- was pressed into service again. Once more, the celebrity count eclipsed the promise hundred and the event was now on its way to becoming a staple of Oscar night.

Throughout the 1990s and the 2000s the party grew in stature and heat. Subsequent venues included the legendary Chasens and the Century Club -- before the event settled into its longtime home at the iconic, pink-walled Beverly Hills Hotel.

Even though the star count always exceeds the under-stated title, Walters has stuck with the "Night Of A Hundred Stars" name.

The list of names who have attended over the years is truly staggering. I don't wish to be cited for prospectively overloading the infrastructure of the internet -- so I've listed just some of the attendees at the foot of this page. It is literally an A-Z of Hollywood. There have also been some unusual juxtapositions. The red carpet has seen the key members of the "Easy Rider" cast (Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) and the "Oklahoma" cast (Rod Steiger, Eddie Arnold and Shirley Jones.)

There have been some strange sights over the years: Gary Coleman sitting on Anna Nicole Smith's lap... A bevy of Baldwin brothers... a collection of Carradine family members... and Bridget Fonda being given life-lessons by her improbable mentor -- Gary Busey. I witnessed the latter moment myself and have not yet recovered from it.

What will happen and what stars will be there this Sunday evening at the Beverly Hills Hotel? That is yet to be seen. One thing is sure -- the 20th anniversary of the "Night Of A Hundred Stars" will have many more than a hundred celebrities frolicking in the hotel's Crystal Ballroom. Its title, an uncharacteristic understatement in the land of hype that may one day puzzle students of Hollywood hyperbole.

Jack Gordon

Gordon was born in Springfield, Illinois to Abraham Gordon (a Russian immigrant) and Faye Stein of Jewish heritage. In the 1970s Gordon ran arcades at Circus Circus in Las Vegas. He later bought controlling interest in a Los Angeles massage parlor called Circus Maximus in West Hollywood. Gordon subsequently bought two additional massage parlors, one in Signal Hill and the other in Costa Mesa, California. An article in the late 1970s in a Long Beach newspaper reported that two of his partners from Las Vegas had turned up murdered and that Gordon was the prime suspect.

In 1978, Jack Gordon offered twelve thousand dollars to then-chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission Harry Reid to approve two new, carnival-like gaming devices (Flip-A-Winna and Penny Falls) for casino use. Gordon believed the games would bring him more than $100 million in profits. Reid notified the FBI and allowed agents to videotape a meeting with Gordon in his office. At the point where Reid asked a prearranged code question “Is this the money?” the FBI agents were to burst in to arrest Gordon -- but, according to Reid's autobiography, Gordon had locked the office door, so the plan was aborted until Reid walked to the door (trying to appear nonchalant) and unlocked it. Reid, a former boxer, exclaimed “You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!” and made as if to strangle Gordon, before startled agents pulled him off. (It's unclear whether Reid actually intended to harm Gordon.) Gordon was convicted in federal court in 1979 and sentenced to six months in prison. In 1981, Reid's wife found a bomb attached to one of their cars, a bomb Reid suspects was placed by Gordon.

In the mid-1980s, Gordon began to manage La Toya Jackson alongside her father, Joseph. In the late 1980s, he took over her management completely. He married her in Reno, Nevada on September 5, 1989, claiming that it was for her own protection against kidnapping by the Jackson family. La Toya Jackson states that this was both unplanned and against her wishes. According to Jackson; "I told him, 'No way, Jack! I can't marry you. You know what marriage means to me. I've never been in love; I don't even date.... It's not right. I don't love you. I don't have feelings for you.'" Jackson tried to run out of the chapel three times but bodyguard Antonio Rossi grabbed her saying, "There's some things you have to do. Even if you don't want to." Jackson told Ebony magazine the marriage was "strictly in name only. It has never been consummated." Six months into the marriage, Jackson asked Gordon for an annulment in Italy. In response, Gordon repeatedly bashed her head against the side of a table saying that he would never let her go. Paparazzi subsequently photographed Jackson with black eyes, which Gordon claimed was caused by intruders. From this point forward, Jackson lost all contact with her family and wrote her autobiography, La Toya: Growing up in the Jackson Family, which accused her father of child abuse.

Gordon hired bodyguards to watch La Toya constantly and would never allow her to speak to or see her family. La Toya's father Joseph stated in his book The Jacksons that he believed Gordon brainwashed La Toya and made her fearful of her own family. Jackson's mother Katherine also believed that La Toya had been brainwashed while Gordon claimed that Katherine had tried to kill La Toya. Sister Janet concurred with her parents saying at the time, "I think this guy who is with her has brainwashed her and made her like this... He keeps her away from the family, and now he's brainwashed her so much she keeps herself away from us."

In 1993, in their New York home, Gordon beat her repeatedly with a heavy brass dining room chair, leaving Jackson with contusions on her face, arms, legs and back in addition to a black eye, lip and chin swollen to "the size of a clenched fist," requiring 12 mouth stitches. Jackson told reporters, "he kicked me in the mouth (and) the boot went right up under my lip . . . all the way through the skin and burst my lip." Jackson lost consciousness during the beating, leading Gordon to believe she was dead. She recalled, "He called his friends and said, 'She's dead. I killed her,' because I was lying in a puddle of blood and I was out." Gordon was arrested but then released, claiming self defense after La Toya "came at" him with a knife. He revealed to the press he that was undergoing radiation treatments for cancer.

In December 1993 Gordon hastily arranged a press conference in Tel Aviv, where he had Jackson read a statement that she believed sex abuse allegations against her younger brother Michael. She stated, "I cannot and will not be a silent collaborator in his crimes against young children... Forget about the superstar, forget about the icon. If he was any other 35-year-old man who was sleeping with little boys, you wouldn't like this guy". Gordon claimed La Toya had proof which she was prepared to disclose for a fee of $500,000. A bidding war between US and UK tabloids began, but fell through when they realized that her revelations were not what she had claimed them to be. According to La Toya, Gordon threatened to have siblings Michael and Janet killed if she didn't follow his orders.

Under Gordon's management, Jackson's career declined, booking her disreputable jobs such as spokesperson for the Psychic Friends Network. Due to Gordon's steady stream of publicity stunts Jackson had become a hate figure of sorts. In 1997, Gordon attempted to force Jackson to dance at a Cleveland, Ohio strip club. She refused to do so and in return, was booed and heckled by the predominantly male crowd. When Jackson became aware that Gordon was planning to feature her in a pornographic film she decided she'd had enough. Jackson phoned brother Randy who flew to New York to help her escape while Gordon was out. Only days later, La Toya filed for divorce.

While La Toya was in seclusion for four years, Gordon continued to make accusations about the Jackson family; he claimed that La Toya's younger brother Michael had performed monkey sacrifice rituals, abuse to Bubbles the Chimpanzee, and even accused him of forcing Lisa Marie Presley to marry him. In 2002, Gordon did interviews advertising his tell-all book of the Jackson family entitled The Jackson Family: The True Story Of The Most Powerful Family In The Music Industry. The entire family — including his former wife — stated that his allegations were "pure fantasy."

Gordon knew many influential people in the music business, film and politics and he was connected to both the Genovese and the Gambino families, two top New York-based mafia families.

Jack Gordon is best known as LaToya Jackson’s infamous ex-manger/husband. She later accused him of mental control and physical abuse during the 11 years they were together. Gordon died in 2005, aged 65. LaToya even sent a security expert to his burial to confirm his death, as she knew that he had faked his death before.

FBI wiretaps in 1994 linked Gordon to Genovese crime family member James "Little Jimmy" Ida. Gordon was taped arranging for mobsters to shadow Jackson on a trip to Russia. Gordon paid the group $1,500 a month for at least two years to protect Jackson from "shakedowns" by rival mobsters. Gordon also employed the services of organized crime defense attorney and current Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman.

Circus Circus
Circus Circus Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is owned and operated by MGM Resorts International. Circus Circus was opened on October 18, 1968 by Jay Sarno, becoming the flagship casino for Circus Circus Enterprises.

Jay Sarno
Jay Sarno (1922 – 1984) was a Las Vegas business entrepreneur who owned several high-profile hotels. He was the creator of both the Caesars Palace hotel and Circus Circus, and many credit him with being the father of today's more family-oriented Las Vegas.

Jay Sarno was business partners with Stanley Mallin. The two got their start after meeting Jimmy Hoffa and in 1958 receiving a loan from the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund to build a motel. Sarno was the creator of Caesars Palace and Circus Circus casinos, his primary innovations being the heavy use of a theme, and forcing foot traffic to pass through the lucrative casino area. At the time of his death he was planning a third casino, the Grandissimo. The FBI considered Sarno to be a front for the Eastern/Midwestern Mafia.

Jimmy Hoffa
James Riddle "Jimmy" Hoffa (born February 14, 1913 – disappeared July 30, 1975, declared legally dead July 30, 1982) was an American labor union leader and author.

Hoffa was involved with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, as an organizer from 1932 to 1975. He served as the union's General President from 1958 to 1971. He secured the first national agreement for teamsters' rates in 1964, and played a major role in the growth and development of the union, which eventually became the largest single union in the United States, with over 1.5 million members during his terms as its leader.

Hoffa, who had been convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, and fraud in 1964, was imprisoned in 1967, sentenced to 13 years, after exhausting the appeal process. However, he did not officially resign the Teamsters' presidency until mid-1971. This was part of a pardon agreement with U.S. president Richard Nixon, in order to facilitate Hoffa's release from prison in late 1971. Nixon blocked Hoffa from union activities until 1980; Hoffa was attempting to overturn this order and to regain support.

Hoffa disappeared at, or sometime after, 2:45 pm on July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Township, a suburb of Detroit. According to what he had told others, he believed he was to meet there with two Mafia leaders—Anthony Giacolone from Detroit, and Anthony Provenzano from Union City, New Jersey and New York City. Provenzano was also a union leader with the Teamsters in New Jersey, and had earlier been quite close to Hoffa. Provenzano was a national vice-president with IBT from 1961, Hoffa's second term as Teamsters' president.

Upon Hoffa's failure to return home from the restaurant by late that evening, his wife called police to report him missing. When police arrived at the restaurant, they found Hoffa's car, but no sign of Hoffa himself, nor any indication of what had happened to him. Extensive investigations into the disappearance began immediately, and continued over the next several years by several law enforcement groups, including the FBI. However, the investigations failed to conclusively determine Hoffa's fate. For their part, Giacolone and Provenzano were each found not to have been in the vicinity of the restaurant that afternoon, and each of them denied that they had scheduled any meeting with Hoffa.

Hoffa was declared legally dead in 1982, on the seventh anniversary of his disappearance.

The Jews Behind Michael Jackson’s Life And Death

2good2btrue · May 2011

This has been affirmed by Jackson’s music & financial manager, the Jew, Charles Koppelman, who said shortly after Jackson’s death, “Michael could generate more money now that he’s dead than when he was alive.”

2good2btrue · May 2011

MICHAEL JACKSON’S TIE TO JEWISH INFLUENCE did not end with the Jewish moguls of the Hollywood music, film, and video industry - rather - this is where the destructive influence in Jackson’s life all began.

For not long after leaving his conservative black mentors at Motown Records in 1975, Michael Jackson was placed under the Jewish influence of the high-powered global Business Manager, the Jew, Dieter Wiesner.

On his Website, Wiesner, who was granted by Jackson the ‘Power Of Attorney’ for all of his affairs, boasts that he formed a “new and excellent team of advisors and lawyers around Jackson that came up exactly to Michael Jackson’s conception.”

A cursory glance at the list of Jackson’s “excellent team of advisors and lawyers” shows that the names indicate a strong Jewish influence of Michael Jackson’s legal affairs which penetrated deep into the most intimate parts of Jackson’s personal life.
