Neverland Saved (Again)

Filed under: Michael Jackson

mmmmmmj__opt.jpg

He got a lucky break!

It's no secret that Michael Jackson has had major money trouble for years now. Things have gotten so bad recently that his Neverland Ranch has gone into foreclosure and was expected to be sold at auction this week.

Well, someone has just swooped in and saved the 2,700 acre property from being snatched up.

Unlike the majority of Americans in the mortgage crisis, Wacko was saved after an investment firm, Colony Capital, paid the outstanding balance on the property.

In a press release, Jackson said he was in discussions with Colony and its founder, Tom Barrack Jr., "with regard to the ranch and other matters."

Colony, a Los Angeles-based firm, is "very comfortable" holding the loan while it negotiates payment terms, a person familiar with the situation said.

Uh huh! Nothing comes from free!

Something's gotta give!

Why does Wacko even care about Neverland at this point???

He hasn't even lived there since 2005!

    Re: HANG PEDOPHILES NOW!!!
    Never been proven.
    Not saying that it didn't happen, because if it did he deserves to be castrated with a blunt knife. But on the other hand, if my child has been at the hands of a paedo, I would never have been 'paid off' like the father of the famous case. Nothing would have stopped me from seeing the arsehole behind bars.
    How can you buy off the fragility of your child? You can't.

    Fuck America, Michael- you don't need those losers. Come to England! It's so civilized and wonderful here. You could hang out with Madge and I all the time. We'd be quite the interesting, ex-pat triage, don't you think? And you could babysit Rocco and Moses whenever you liked!

    Oh do come over here Michael!

    …holy shit, if it wasn't for the fact that we've been exposed to this freak-show in small doses throughout the years, we'd be running and screaming everytime his photo popped up…i mean, LOOK AT HIM! just a ventriloquist's dummy nightmare…shudder…

    the media are twisting his money issues. he is still one of the richest men in the world. he probably doesn't have than mch in terms of liquid cash but he's got more than enough equity. he has a massive back catalogue as well as the Beatles back catalogue plus numoruos real estate. if he was in serious dire straits he'd pimp out some of his assets or sell of properties but he hasn't. he probably has cash flow issues but that doesn't mean he's not unbelievable rich buy any means.

    Re: The Baggins – Never been proven because he paid them off big time. Apparently a child's innocence can be brought. Why is it you only see him surrounded with young boys never girls except for his "daugther" which I'm sure he wishes came out a boy. He is a pedohile who happens to have had the money to buy himself out of jail time.

    Colony?

    Oh oh thath rings a bell with me and makes me think of "Dignidad Colony" in Chile established by German child molester Paul Schaefer!
    He left Germany in 1961 after being accused of sexually abusing two boys. On May 20, 1997, he fled Chile, pursued by authorities investigating charges that he had molested 26 children of the colony. In March 2005, he was arrested in Argentina and extradited to Chile. He is also wanted for questioning about the disappearance of Boris Weisfeiler in 1985, an American Jewish mathematics professor of Russian origin.
    Twenty-two other members of Colonia Dignidad were found guilty of aiding the molestation, including Dr. Hartmut Hopp, the second-in-command.

    But maybe the "term/word" just sounds similar in German-English… :-) )

    The same company that saved neverland ranch iis refusing to repair the train tracks that bring goods to Seaside Oregon and surrounding areas. There was a big storm there this winter. They can save a child rapist home from foreclosure. But they cut off the life means to coastal cities in Oregon.

    Re: msfanni – Interesting that you would reveal something about "Colony" co., as I wondered about them. Wouldn't want to be a stockholder. This is how crazy the pedophile who looks like someone threw battery acid on his face is…..he's got plenty of ways to raise the $$$$$$. So sell some of it off, pay your back taxes you freak, sell the amusement park you called home, and move on. That is what a NORMAL person would do; or be forced to do. But not this psycho. Thank god he's not here anymore. But those poor f*ckin kids he bought.

  20. this paedo again??? says – reply to this

    THIS PAEDO HAS MORE LIVES THAN A HOUSE FULL OF CATS, IN CATTOWN IN THE COUNTRY OF CATLAND. WHY DOES HE KEEP GETTING BAILED OUT??? HE IS A DISGRACE AND NEVERLAND SHOULD BE SEIZED AND TURNED INTO A CHARITY FOR KIDS.

    Re: Wake The F**k Up!!
    Well in my opinion, childhood innocence CANNOT be bought. For any price, nothing at all.
    I'm not saying that he is innocent, I'm just so tired of people saying that he is guilty when NO-ONE knows the true story except the child and Michael himself.
    If my child was subjected to any sort of molestation, no amount of money would EVER stop me from seeing the psycho behind bars. Or on death row. Nothing.
    Oh and by the way, I'm fully awake. Thanks.

    Only lifting part of the story from Norm Clarke's column…you left the best part out! COLONY CAPITAL OWNS THE LAS VEGAS HILTON and the farts in the desert wind point to a Jackson show getting put together at the Hilton. I wouldn't be surprised if the closing Star Trek Experience makes room for a Jackson family shrine. You know, the one that includes a mock up of a San Diego Vons where one of the brothers bags groceries.

    It's been a long and lonely ride for me- I mean for Michael Jackson. I want to get the ferris wheel running again so I can enjoy the ups and downs with young boys. Please allow me to relive the good old days in peace with little boys. You're thinking sexual, it's not sexual, it's pure.

    All you mothers who are worried that your little boys will get cold, don't worry! We're working on a deal with the utility company to get the hot water turned back on for the group showers.
    After playing in the hot shower, we'll retire retire to the lair- I mean bedroom to screen a really scary movie (late at night like always). If your son becomes scared Michael is in bed, nude, waiting to comfort your son. Oh goody, I can hardly wait!
    Oh, and one more thing, there will be lots and lots of jesus juice if your son is thirsty.

    you guys don't know what your talking about - Colony holding the loan means that they are just going to buy the property. The owner owns alot of property in Santa Ynez and he is probably just trying to buy that property, that's all. Nothing to do with any conspiracy theories or the Hilton or anything else. Its a personal real estate investment at best.

    colonly owns the hilton in vegas. mj is in vegas….talks of a graceland esque idea for nvr for the longest.

    y does perez care about why he's hanging on the ranch. dude could split the properties up into five, and make five times as much as it's worth ($28.5M) so y the hell is he holding onto it UNLESS he's got a plan for it?

    go worry about fat dead ass elvis who died poor and made it so his ex-'wife' had to pimp everything known to him in order to have money.

    How freaky does he look? I showed my kids a picture of him on the cover of his "Thriller" album, covering up his name and the title so that they could only see Jackson's picture. I asked them if they knew who he was. Neither of them had any idea. (They are aged 22 and 19.) When I told them he was Michael Jackson, they couldn't believe it. They found it hard to understand why a good-looking young black guy would destroy his looks the way he has. I guess the only person who knows that is Jackson himself. Another person who was pimped out as a child to make money for his family. Did he have a childhood? Who knows, but something has certainly screwed him up big time.

    Re: kd
    thank you for your support. I don't know why everyone is hating on me. I love everyone, especially mixed race boys between the ages of 8 and 14.
    Do you know any boys in that age bracket? They must have single, naive mothers and no dad in their lives (you know how those silly dads can go nuts if they think their son is being molested, hee hee)

    Re: The Baggins – Maybe he didn't want his kid to be put out in the spotlight? Imagine the kind of unwanted attention…sure he got some anyway.

    According to the uncle of the child (who wrote the recent book, ("All that glitters" by Ramond Chandler), Michael Jackson and the boy, Jordy, were in love.

    Jordy didn't want Michael to get in trouble.

    Michael initiated 'negotiations' to keep them quiet. The boy ultimately made the decision. The dad of the boy just wanted to prove to his son, he would trust his decision. The boy was 13 at the time.

    MICHAEL HASNT GONE BACK TO NEVERLAND BC WHEN HIS HOME WAS RAIDED IT WAS TRASHED AND IT HURT HIM A LOT. HE DOESNT WANT TO GO BACK TO LIVE THERE BUT IT STILL IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE TO HIM AND MAYBE HE WANTS TO KEEP IT FOR HIS CHILDREN.

    HE IS NOT A PEDOPHILE WHY CANT PEOPLE GET OVER THE FACT THAT HE WAS ACQUITTED OF ALL DAMN CHARGES! IF HE WERE GUILTY HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF AT LEAST ONE BUT NOO IT WAS ALL OF THEM BITCHES.

  61. Hey dumbasses says – reply to this

    So just curious how do you know if Michael hasent lived in Neverland since 2005?

    And another thing you pethetic loosers need to stop calling him a pedaphile, because hes NOT.
    Could it be because your trying to cover up your own pedophealia.

    Get a life Perez your a fat gay guy who has contributed nothing to society, and Michael on the other hand has done more for the world than you ever could.

    GET OVER IT :)
