Get your currency converters out -- the law firm that filed the latest creditor's claim against Michael Jackson's estate wants to get paid in pounds.
The firm of Arnold & Porter -- which has an office in London -- just filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming MJ owes them for legal services rendered between February and June of '09.
The total bill: £103,179.10.
And this is interesting: In the docs, it shows Michael initially hired the firm in connection with a "dispute with Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa" -- the son of the King of Bahrain.
The sheikh sued Michael in 2008 for $7 million -- after Michael allegedly accepted a bunch of money and perks from the sheikh in exchange for two new albums.
The case was settled shortly after.

Michael needed a real management company or just people around him who were interested in his interests, rather than who saw him as an opportunity. All these vultures/vampires/maggots (including Joe Jackson) who are coming out of the woodwork are just trying to take advantage of a dead man, not here to say "NO NO NO."
Spend the rest of your lives in court seeking the money as far as I'm concerned. It's turning on the lights as watching the roaches scamper. :)
Dr. Thome Thome was MJ's manager and handling his finances, why didn't he take care of this?
im going to file a mental breakdown claim against his estate too for spending all my time reading about him and not getting to work like im suppose to.. i want $5mil for my time. These people should be SHOT for taking advantage of a dead legend. BTW FREE MIKE TYSON...
These people keept working for so long with out getting paid? why they broth this on there own door step because if they had of stoped and said we are not doing any more work then maybe they mihgt have got paid.. why work for free? that's their fault.. wasnt Thome Thome in charge during this time? he hired them and didn't pay why dont they go after him..
Evan Chandler, the father to the boy that Michael Jackson was once accused of sexually molesting, was found dead in his Jersey City apartment on November 5th.
Chandler charged Jackson with the molestation of his then 13-year-old son in the early '90s, but that case never went to trial and they reached a multi-million-dollar civil settlement.
Chandler's death has been ruled a suicide as he was found with a gun on his body and he had a single bullet wound to the head. He was 65 years old.
The Jersey City Police Department reveals:
âThere was no note found in the apartment but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition. A doctor based at Colanta Hematology in Bayonne, NJ, had called the concierge, asking him check on Mr. Chandlerâs apartment as Mr. Chandler had missed an appointment.
"It was thanks to the conciergeâs actions that Mr. Chandlerâs body was discovered. Mr. Chandlerâs body has now been returned to his family.â
The father of a boy who sued Michael Jackson and accused him of sexual molestation died by committing suicide, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Evan Chandler, formerly a Beverly Hills dentist, shot himself in the head. He was found dead in Jersey City, N.J.

In the early 1990s, Chandler reported Jackson to authorities in both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, charging the King of Pop with molesting his son, then 13.
Well....looks like Murray got off the hook again!!!! What is it with this guy? I can't believe that he's still walking around without charges for MJ's wrongful death.
As for Evan Chandler, the guilt must have finally got to him.
