Thanks to financial advisors for bringing the following

If anyone had a sneaking suspicion that there were people who were using Michael Jackson and fleecing Michael Jackson, that there was something to those complaints of shadowy people that Jackson's family kept referring to that did not have the singer's best interests at heart — those suspicions may have been realized this week in the form of a former doctor and business acquaintance of Michael Jackson's: Dr. Tohme Tohme. CNN reported that Michael Jackson's estate Special Administrators John Branca and John McClain filed papers that they had recovered $5.5 million from one of Jackson's “financial advisors.” TMZ reported that that financial advisor was none other than one of Michael Jackson's former personal doctors.

Dr. Tohme Tohme revealed in an interview that he and Michael Jackson had a secret arrangement, that he had been holding money made from recording residuals for Michael Jackson to purchase a “dream home.” CNN ran a film segment Friday of a lavish Las Vegas home that Michael Jackson had supposedly looked at and expressed interest in but had not had the money to obtain. It was thought that money from the upcoming concert tour in the United Kingdom would bring in enough money for Michael Jackson to purchase the home.

But that does not explain the existence of the $5.5 million or why Dr. Tohme Tohme had it in his possession.

According to Dr. Tohme Tohme, the King of Pop had begged him, “Don't tell anyone about the money.” He said that as soon as he learned of Michael Jackson's death, he had reported that he had the secret stash.

Although the existence of a secret stash of cash in the possession of “financial advisor” Dr. Tohme Tohme might be suspicious, it seems that it is being returned at a fortuitous time for Katherine Jackson, who at present has temporary custodial guardianship of Michael Jackson's three children. She filed papers this week asking for emergency relief and a release of some of the money from the Michael Jackson Family Trust in order for her to provide for the children and herself. It is reported that Katherine Jackson receives a small Social Security stipend but was totally dependent upon Michael Jackson for nearly everything.

It is unknown how much money has been siphoned off of Michael Jackson over the years and if any of it, other than that produced by Dr. Tohme Tohme, will ever be recovered. But if Michael Jackson, who seemed to be a man of many secrets, had a secret stash with his “financial advisor” Dr. Tohme Tohme, could he also have had secret stashes with other “financial advisors”?
