wow....I'm sure everybody will come around soon :mrgreen:
anyway, I was thinking.....Michael didn't want to make those 50 shows, but OTHERS always wanted him to do all sort of things ....right, they were greedy....this happened to Michael all his life.
He was the megastar who made millions for those around.
His own mother pushed him in the past to make shows he never wanted to do.
These were just some random thoughts.
If this is a sting operation, like some of you already said, who's the target and how could Michael's faked death help FBI to catch some criminals? But who are they?!
I was thinking today if they could be the estate attorneys?! In 2003 Michael fired John Branca, just to rehire him around the London shows. The same with Frank Dileo. What do we really know about these 2 people?
Look at this post:

"Yesterday, TMZ reported that music attorney John Branca of the Ziffren Brittenham firm was re-hired by Michael Jackson three weeks ago and that he has a copy of the late singer's will. But court papers filed yesterday by Michael Jackson's mother say the family hasn't been able to locate any will.
So who's right? We spoke to Branca today, and from his first interview on the subject we can confirm that Branca has been appointed as co-executor of the Jackson estate and that an announcement about the will is forthcoming.
............Branca says he was re-hired by Michael himself two weeks ago in preparation for the singer's planned comeback tour. ..................
So what did he and Michael talk about? "We discussed how to exploit his valuable brand and the upcoming concert," says Branca.
Branca was as shocked as anyone to hear the news last week that Michael had been rushed to the hospital. Now, as co-executor of the estate, Branca will be handling the music publishing agreements that will earn the estate significant revenues over the coming years. This is the lawyer's specialty. Last year, for example, Branca represented the Rodgers & Hammerstein Org in a $250 million sale of the rights to hit broadway musicals.
When asked about the will, Branca let this tidbit fly:
"The will hasn't been filed yet," he said.
Would Branca confirm the existence of the much talked-about Michael Jackson will? THR's Roger Friedman has been reporting for days that Jackson drafted a will in 2002, dividing his estate among his mother, three children, and charities (but not his father), and that the will should be filed in Los Angeles Superior Court as soon as Thursday.
"It'll all be clear within 48 hours," he responded. "Much more will be revealed soon."
"In the Michael Jackson probate case, Branca produced Jackson's final will and testament, which designated Branca as executor. The Jackson family filed a preemptive probate action in the Los Angeles Superior Court, based on the allegation that Jackson died "intestate," without a valid will. Branca filed the will in Los Angeles on July 1, 2009 and was appointed co-executor." Joseph said the will is fake? Is it fake or not?
"In 2003, Michael Jackson launched an investigation into Mr. Branca's suspected embezzlement activities regarding Michael Jackson's money. It was reported that there was a relationship between Sony Executive Tommy Mottola and John Branca whereby Mr. Branca and Mr. Mottola were involved in an offshore account in the Caribbean and Sony was transferring money into that account which implied that it was to benefit Mr. Branca.
INTERFOR REPORT: The Interfor Report caused Michael Jackson great anger and Michael Jackson demanded Mr. Branca to never have anything to do with him, his business, his family, or his personal life again. Michael Jackson Terminated Mr. Branca because of what he learned. Why would Mr. Jackson rehire this attorney to become an executor of his estate? Mr. Branca claims that Mr. Jackson rehired him just 8 days before Mr. Jackson was murdered. As the truth unfolds, it is obvious why Mr. Jackson feared for his life!
Additionally, Mr. Branca has just recently made a $200 million guaranteed contract with Sony Music Entertainment for 10 projects over seven years. "
Maybe it's all about Sony....maybe they are the target, but I don't see in what way
