$270,000,000 in debt? WOW! If he doesn't go to jail he better crank out another album or two. No matter how this ends, he's screwed. I still think the kids mother ought to be on trial too. She practically sold him to Jackson. She's a waste.
What a circus. Every time I see a picture of Michael, I wince. He's so messed up.
