Lawyer: Schaffel a Professional Swindler, Pornographer MB#310 UPDATE
Lawyer: Schaffel a Professional Swindler, Pornographer – MB#310 UPDATE
<i>Past reports and court docs shed light on Schaffel’s history</i>
JUNE 18 2006 – For a while now, the public has been treated to a one sided view of a case involving Michael Jackson and “professional swindler” Marc Schaffel.
It was big news when Schaffel filed a lawsuit against Jackson. However, Jackson’s countersuit got very little if any coverage by broadcast and cable networks.
Jackson’s countersuit accuses Schaffel of concealing and commingling funds, misappropriating funds, providing false books of account, and wrongfully profiting from falsely associating himself with Jackson after he was dismissed as a business associate.
Since the lawsuit and countersuit, the public has been getting nothing but leaks from those associated with Schaffel.
Interestingly enough, Jackson is far from the only person to make claims of being swindled by Schaffel.

[b]Big media: Adapt or die[/b] Executives from top media firms discuss how they need to embrace new technology sweeping the industry. By Paul R. La Monica, CNNMoney.com senior writer June 13, 2006: 4:53 PM EDT NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) – The media business is getting hit by massive technological change, and executives from top media companies said industry executives had better get used to it. “The challenge is pretty clear. It’s the digital transition. We would like to say we look at it as an opportunity. Every single part of our business is going through extraordinary technological change,” Peter Chernin, president and chief operating officer of News Corp., said at a media conference in California monitored by Webcast.
Media Still Refusing to Accept the Truth a Year after Acquittal? – MB#309 UPDATE
JUNE 14 2006 – I have never been one to depend on the media to accurately report or review anything concerning Michael Jackson. With yesterday (June 13 2006) being the one year anniversary of Jackson’s vindication by a non-black, conservative Santa Maria jury, I didn’t really expect the media to spend any time acknowledging the day.
Imagine my surprise as I flipped to MSNBC and caught a segment of the Allison Stewart-hosted show “The Most” where they mentioned the one year mark. Since justice was served without a media-hoped-for “guilty” verdict, I expected to see a shallow, half-assed and rather short “review” of events about the trial.
I was not disappointed. It’s quite clear that some are still in total denial about the truth of the trial, and the truth of what was revealed about the allegations in court.
In the very few minutes discussed about the topic, Stewart and her guest — a male Access Hollywood bobblehead reporter — did everything but talk about the TRIAL.

Is media STILL in denial about Jackson trial?

Attorney to the Stars Says It’s His Pro Bono That’s Most Exciting
[b]Attorney to the Stars Says It’s His Pro Bono That’s Most Exciting[/b] By Mike McKee When he had the chance, Thomas Mesereau Jr. didn’t brag about his successes in defending pop star Michael Jackson or former television actor Robert Blake. Instead, he talked about the joys of doing pro bono work. The partner from Los Angeles-based Collins, Mesereau, Reddock & Yu was the featured speaker on June 6 at the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s 52nd annual California Supreme Court luncheon, and regaled the huge crowd at the swanky Beverly Hills Hotel with stories about doing pro bono work in the ghettos of L.A. and on death row in Mississippi.
