Michael Jackson Takes Ex-Accountants to Court
Michael Jackson is suing his former accountants for negligence and breach of trust. He claims they mishandled his cash and charges him millions.
The troubled pop star claims that the Bernstein, Fox, Whitman, Goldman & Sloan firm made unauthorized deals with his money, the BBC reports.
Jackson is seeking an unspecified amount in damages as well as an audit of fees paid to the firm.
The suit, filed in Los Angeles, also says that the accountants failed to keep him informed about his financial situation.
Jackson has been troubled by money in recent months. His lawyers quit in August, claiming they had not been paid for their services (Jackson claims he fired them).
Those contested fees stemmed from legal representation they provided to Jackson in a suit brought against him by a financial company. Prescient Acquisition Group is suing Jackson for $48 million U.S. in fees.
