Can the Feds be far behind?

Internationl trafficing of sex victims?

Is it a RICCO?

(do I have that right)?

There is so much middle eastern overlay.

A Jackson supporter and his father were on Rita Cosbys special last night.The father is named Said Elatab,from Lebanon.The same name shows up on the web,with his pix of the blind cleric as a photographer,having done work for UNICEF and such.

Tne son is an impersonator of Jacko, and hosts a website fan club and so on.

Do the Elatabs from Lebanon have any connections to the Saudi side of Malnik-Michael?

What about the Pakistan-Norwegian?

Can the Feds be far behind?

How about for tax evasion?

Jacko Pawned $2 Million Watch to Raise Dough; Banker Claims: 'I've Kept Him Alive'
By Roger Friedman
In August 1994 — five months after Time magazine reported Jackson had paid a multimillion-dollar settlement after a 14-year-old boy claimed he had molested him — the King of Pop signed loan papers with Sony Music in which he used his catalog of songs to secure a loan.
But apparently that loan didn't solve Michael's problems. In 1995, Jackson used the same catalog to borrow money from NationsBank (now Bank of America). In a separate filing with NationsBank that year, he also put up the Beatles catalog. In 1996 he again put up the MIJAC songs — including "We Are the World," the proceeds of which were supposed to go to charity.
In 1997, Neverland was used as collateral with NationsBank, while Michael borrowed money from Sony using proceeds from his deal with a Saudi prince who promised to build theme parks with him. He also borrowed money from Sony in 1997 against the MIJAC catalog. What was happening was obvious — a shell game in which Jackson kept using his copyrights as assets against which he was constantly securing cash. As one deal expired, a new one would take its place.

According to filings, Jackson also borrowed money from Sony Music on Sept. 22, 1997, in a separate filing. In that loan, he used any money due him from a deal he'd made with Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal (google) to start a number of business ventures. None of those businesses — including theme parks and restaurants, TV programming and films — panned out.
"You realize that by taking the loans from Sony, Michael was getting advances without having to pay taxes," says one source knowledgeable about Jackson's affairs. "Eventually, when the loans are called, taxes will have to be paid."
