AMERICA'S financially-battered King of Pop Michael Jackson believes his former lawyers and close associates have illegally conspired to drive him to bankruptcy, his general manager says. Raymone Bain spoke out today amid ongoing legal battles involving the singer and unpaid staff. He 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," Mr Bain said. "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." The manager added that Jackson might file civil and criminal suits against members of his former inner circle.
