The King of Pop had bought the 250-song Beatles catalogue in 1985 for 47.5million dollars and now with the high selling of his own music and the relaunch of the Fab Four’s sound, it is estimated that his estate will net more than 250million dollars by Christmas.</blockquote>

[pwwpww]

[iLLNESS]

makes you wonder about his death..

wonder if there were some money reasons behind it

[Xenogears V]

Yeah, yeah, I call this speculation.

If true, it's all very "convenient"

If he still was alive he would have gotten that money from Beatles songs too.
And I doubt he was 'killed' for his money, he had a debt of ~$500 million.

Of course. Anyhow the guy who killed him likely wasn't in the will or at least would not be aware of his standing in the will if he was. There was no money to gain by killing MJ and it looks like it was somewhat an accident although a doctor should know better than to do what this quack did. Plus they say MJ never paid him, so he was probably waiting for the tour to end and get paid afterwards.
