This article was posted earlier, but was pulled because it revealed the name of Jackson't accuser, who is a minor. I've reposted with his name redacted, as well as that of his mother, to respect his privacy.

There was an interesting link on the other thread to a 9/11 thread from 2001, which mentioned Jackson's possible mob contact, Albert Malnik, who was a protege of Murder Incorporated's Meyer Lansky. Go here, and scroll down for Malnik.

Not suggesting that means anything in the Jackson case, I just found it interesting.

Seems as if the Brittish press has no compunction in the use of anonymity.

Flagging those who were on the other thread.

Funny, they have no problem with their courts being able to stop the press from writing negative things about the "royal" family.

BTW, the mother should also be sent to jail for this crime.

His name is all over the place since he was in the tv special. His mothers name is quoted in nearly every paper. Why bother?

[gcruse]

Thanks.

[metalboy]

What I want to know is what the hell is Jackson doing making a video with R. Kelly, that other pedo, called "One more chance"? Are they kidding me? Another chance for what? Hey, maybe OJ should team together with Robert Blake and make a video .

It's looking grim for The Moonwalker.

Here again is my blurb about the Jacko/Malnik connection:

Jacko’s Bail Thanks to Reputed Mobster?
By Roger Friedman

Michael Jackson’s finances are a little better than we thought. That may be because Miami loan king Al Malnik is on his side and in his corner.

I am told that Malnik was instrumental in a recent restructuring of Jackson’s finances — no mean feat considering his tumultuous history. I am also told that Jackson’s ability to pay his $3 million bail and legal bills in the multi millions may come from Malnik’s largesse and interest in his career.

On the new "Greatest Hits" album, Malnik’s name is one of the few who are mentioned under "Special thanks" from the singer.

Malnik was the lawyer for late mobster Meyer Lansky and when Lansky died in 1983, Reader’s Digest called Malnik the mobster’s "heir apparent," a moniker that has been repeated frequently.

Malnik has become very close to Jackson in recent years. And according to my sources, he’s loaned Jackson money — lots of it.

The 69-year-old lawyer is the owner of a famous restaurant called the Forge in Miami. But his real business is loaning money, just what Jackson needs right now. His firm, Title Loans of America, according to the Palm Beach Post, is a national chain of loan stores that makes money from the interest charged on quick cash offered to people who need cash, and fast.

The New York Times reported in 2000 that Malnik was cited by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission in 1980 and 1992 as "a person of unsuitable character."

Malnik is popular on the Miami social scene with his new wife Nancy, and he has always denied mob ties. He was arrested and tried in April 1969 for income tax evasion but was subsequently acquitted, according to the Miami Herald.

Calls to Malnik at The Forge went unreturned.

Here is a picture of the happy couple:

(Shareef Malnik, Al Malnik, Serena Williams, Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker and Brett Ratner at The Forge.)

Shareef Malnick and The Forge

Reliable sources will only say that Jackson and Malnik are "personal friends," and "they've been friends for years." The official word from Malnik is "I have no present or past business relationship of any kind with Michael Jackson, nor is one contemplated."

J. Lo and Ben Affleck had R. Kelly sing at Affleck's birthday party. A known child molester. These hollywood people are twisted freaks.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Serena Williams. You can tell by looking at her that she's a freak too.

[dagnabbit]

I hope it's true that police are finding corroborating evidence such as these letters. Of course with juries these days, nothing short of a videotape of Jackson sexually assaulting a boy who is heard to say "No, no, I don't want to and I'm only 12" would seem like a sure thing. Even then, however, there would likely be at least one juror who would buy a Jackson "evil twin" defense.

Thanks, Sabertooth.

Anybody got the link for that Daily Mirror story that was posted on the zapped thread about the fit Jackson threw on his flight back to Santa Barbara?

[longtermmemmory]

If you can't publish the name of the accussing victim then the name of the accused can be published either. I think it is only fair way around facing your accuser clause. Forget jackson, the false accusation is enough to destroy a life.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"When she learned of her son's accusations of molestation -- which included claims that Jackson plied him with wine and sleeping pills -- she fled with her family in the dead of night."

Funny, FOX News reported that Jackson had to nearly evict this family from Neverland after the boy's cancer went into remission, and that apparently, this was the time when the issue of the molestation came into being, which was the reason why Jackson hired Geragos way back in February.

[Sabertooth]

His name is all over the place since he was in the tv special. His mothers name is quoted in nearly every paper. Why bother?

Because he's a 13 year-old boy, and we're above that. Doesn't matter how low anyone else goes.

More on Malnik-Saudi connection:

Source: Shareef Malnick and The Forge

With his daring style and leading-man good looks, Shareef Malnik also demonstrates a distinct adeptness for acquiring high-profile wives. During a four year period while his father was acting as chief financial advisor to Saudi Royal family member Prince Turki Bin-Aziz, son of the king of Saudi Arabia, Shareef married Sheika Hoda Al-Fassi, the daughter of Prince Turki's brother-in-law, the notoriously flamboyant Sheik Mohammed Al-Fassi.

(Sheik Al-Fassi almost single-handedly supported the South Florida economy during his year-long stay here in the early 80s by purchasing several homes from Miami Beach's Star Island to Golden Beach and The Landings in Fort Lauderdale, plus numerous cars and boats. At one point, the Sheik ran-up a $1.4 million bill at the Diplomat hotel in Hollywood. Miami, however, withdrew its welcome mat when Sheik Al-Fassi's checks started bouncing. Sheik Mohammed Al-Fassi, who also gained notoriety for hiring artists to paint pubic hair and flesh-colored genitalia on the classic Italian statutes that surrounded his 38-room Beverly Hills mansion, passed away on December 24, 2002 in Cairo, Egypt.)

After Shareef's marriage to the Saudi princess—a period where he and his father spent much of their time residing in the Saudi Royal Family Palace—Shareef returned to Miami and later married his fourth wife,
