The Man Who Secretly Held M.J.'s Millions
How's this for a plot twist? Yesterday we broke the story that the Special Administrators of Michael Jackson's estate filed legal papers saying they just recovered $5.5 million is cash from a former financial advisor. The advisor is Dr. Tohme Tohme, who got involved with Jackson in the last year-and-a-half of his life, and he claims the money was "a secret."
In an interview last night, Dr. Tohme said the money came from recording residuals and that "It was a secret between Michael and me."
Dr. Tohme claims the money was going to be used for a Las Vegas "dream home."
Tohme says Michael implored him, "Don't tell anyone about the money." He says when the singer died, he came forward and said he had the stash.
