Northern Trust Could Have Hit "Jurassic" Jackpot

Michael CrichtonScrew the bailout money. Northern Trust is getting "Jurassic Park" money!!! But wait: The bank is turning Michael away!

We've just reviewed the will of Michael Crichton -- who at times pulled in $100 mil a year -- and guess who's named as a co-executor of his estate? NORTHERN TRUST!

But alas, late last month, legal papers were filed in which Northern Trust declined to serve as the co-executor. Apparently the bank only likes government money...

16. kar--that is all fine and good if they want to donate their money to charities, but they took BAIL OUT MONEY from the American taxpayers, so spare me the pity party! A rage is growing in America over this nonsense and it has to be stopped!

17. When I was 15 after the death of my birth father(howard Robard Hughes JR) a fake trust was offered to me at union bank in lincoln ne.The Masoic mob tryed to bait me in with a fake brother andy cipollo...I went to some free legal and they said the papers were wothless.Mainwhile back in texas currupt masonic run judges on the take routed most of the estate into HHMI which the mob uses to kill us off and cover us up(DARK PROGRAMS) at over 200 colleges now,I was covered up even though my mother was jean peters and father was howard robard hughes jr.Even president bush was in on the endless free HHMI money trust and governer after governer and cop after cop and judge after judge(KICHEN CABINETSS) cover me up.So I know the system too well I`ve been to the justist depts and so on but even the CIA works on this cover up.It is what the system feeds off of.I don`t need the money but I would like to get my ID back and HHMI doing good not dark programs.

21. This is just stupid.
1) northern trust is not in financial trouble
2)They declined the money the government was going to give them
3)The government told them they had to take it because they wanted more money in circulation

These are the facts, northern trust is one of the few banks that is not in trouble and does not need government money. They had a 10 year contract with the pga which they had to honor. And they paid for there employees to stay in lavish hotels at their expense because they are not in financial trouble.
Another reason why tmz is stupid.

23. You are going after a solvent bank that is paying back the government (taxpayers) and helping to grow the economy--where is the scandal? Why don't you go after the excessive practices of banks that are tanking and taking the TARP money with them?

24. They can give millions to a 6.1 million dollar prize pool for golf but they can't afford to keep 450 of their workers? Seems they need to get rid of whoever is making these decisions. Sadly instead they are rewarded with billions in bail out money. Every single person involved including out congress should be sitting in jail.

Our Government and silly happy that they will give each household $60.00 a month in their pockets. That is their idea of helping the American people. YET they are dumping millions into renovating their offices. They are spending millions on new cars for Government officials (why do they even get a free car?) They are spending millions on electric golf carts. AND millions to save an animal in Pelosi's home state.

This situation with Northern Trust is nothing compared with how bad our Government is screwing us. When you really think about it how are we any different than these other counties that we "liberate" How are we different than Russia? Our Government is filthy rich and we have people losing their homes, without jobs, and trouble keeping their houses warm.

Government officials don't even pay their taxes. If everyday American's do that they are sent to jail. we are in a time of crisis and typical Government are only thinking of themselves and how they can benefit from the stimulus package. Our Country is so broken it is beyond repair,

30. Seriously, TMZ should check out their facts before running all of his CRAP about Northern Trust...notice how all of the news stations are ALWAYS quoting TMZ as the source, b/c they realize if THEY came across as telling this story, they could be SUED like crazy. TMZ is usually my spot for ACCURATE news..however, in this case, someone certainly has NOT done their work. Isn't there a celebrity walking down Rodeo Drive that you all should be following/stalking? Stick to that, as you have NO idea what you're talking about when it comes to NT.
