America's financially battered King of Pop Michael Jackson believes his former lawyers and close associates illegally conspired to drive him to bankruptcy, his general manager says. Amid ongoing legal battles with unpaid staff, his manager Raymone Bain said he had compiled proof that Jackson's associates and lawyers had crudely conspired against him. "Mr. Jackson is neither shocked nor surprised by these revelations," Bain said in a statement today. "He has long been suspicious that some of those whom he entrusted to act on his behalf, and to advise him with respect to his personal and business affairs, may not have always acted in his best interest," Bain said. The manager added that Jackson may file civil and criminal suits against members of his former inner circle.
