The hunt for accusers against MJ was all-encompassing. Many local, federal & international facilities pursued any leads from 93-05 via phone, mail & law enforcement tips even those by Gutierrez & Terry George.
In the end, they still only had the same few money-seeking families.
The "victim" search also included Tom Sneddon's presser in Feb. 2003—the day LWMJ aired—in which he provided two phone numbers for anyone wanting to report any crimes by MJ.
It also included multiple probes by the DCFS in the 1990s and 2000s, largely instigated by Gloria Allred.
Post-death, this search for accusers grew more relentless.
Endless tabloid tales from 2012-20 promoted by opportunists. Fake police files. False claims of $200M payoffs & 2 dozen unspecified victims that even Dimond admitted was unfounded. A media blitz & TV show.
But, nothing.
Compare this to other cases of "serial abuse."
- Nassar had 265 accusers, 156 testified in court. 60 came forward from Finaldi's pleads within 30 days.
- Oprah's "John of God" faith healer had nearly 600 women claim abuse, more than 200 came forward within 30 hours of tip line.

Hour 1 of HBO's "devastating—impossible to ignore" boilerplate pedo-accusatory film includes:
[Opening Scene]
Dylan: You can see the photos have been strategically cropped [to remove Allen].
(But not the identical ones given to filmmakers?)
As predicted, they include many innocuous events while attempting to paint them sinisterly, including:
- Allen paying to have Dylan's teddy bear flown to their hotel after she forgot it.
- Allen shopping for toys and gifts in closed toy stores.
- Allen "hovering" over Dylan.
The film presents the Maureen Orth propagated story how Allen's psychologist said he was "inappropriately intense" w/ Dylan.
But the full quote is clear: "I did not see it as sexual, but I saw it as inappropriately intense because it excluded everybody else..." He favored Dylan.
The summary judgment hearing is slated to occur on Feb. 24. There is a chance we may learn the judge's tentative ruling on the 23rd.
The estate argues that the court's decision granting the demurrer in Safechuck's case (dismissing it) likewise applies to Wade's case.
Further, they allege "no reasonable juror could conclude" the companies would be any way responsible, given the undisputed facts and evidence.
"It is only because Jackson is dead—and Robson missed the deadline to file a creditor's claim—that Robson is contorting his legal claims to try to recharacterize Jackson's alleged criminal conduct as the supposed "negligence" of his wholly-owned companies."
THREAD: A breakdown of the "compendium of evidence" Finaldi just submitted (in person, claiming it is "too large to electronically file" 😁) in hopes of preventing the summary judgment in Wade's case.
I've previously shared most of these materials in older threads, not much new.
Finaldi has filed 51 exhibits as part of his arguments.
As I foreshadowed, he's lodged 1000s of pages of largely innocuous & irrelevant materials w/ a few "points" underlined in each of them.
But lugging in totes full of "evidence" against MJ makes compelling footage, I'm sure.
Exhibit 1 - John Branca Deposition (October 18, 2017)
John Branca is 100% supportive of MJ and offers nothing supportive for Finaldi. Finaldi establishes Branca held business meetings w/ MJ on occasion lol.
Excerpt from Joy's depo—officers always lied to create victims.
"officer talked to Wade about FACT that he'd BEEN A VICTIM & this is was pedos do. Said 'you have done nothing wrong. you can tell us.'"
This dispels Wade's lie that he believed he'd go to jail if he said anything.
Joy confirmed like so many others that tabloids wanted to pay them to say something happened.
"They told him to tell me they were offering six figures for me to change my story. National Enquirer wanted me to change my story. They were going to pay me a lot of money to do it."
In order to believe Wade's robotic 2012+ telling of events, Joy has to convince herself that Wade reached peak Oscar-winning actor status by age 7.
He was "very convincing...we all believed you" from the first time they visited Neverland until years after MJ's death (1990-2011).
