Shady Dr. Conrad Murray was in “Dire Straits” When Hired by MJ
Michael Jackson, News, When The Checks Stop Coming In
Posted by Bossip Staff
SMH at Michael paying this cat 150K a month…
was in dire financial shape when he signed on as Michael Jackson’s personal physician earlier this year at $150,000 a month. The Las Vegas cardiologist owed a total of at least $780,000 in judgments against him and his medical practice, outstanding mortgage payments on his house, delinquent student loans, child support and credit cards. Court records chronicling Murray’s woes in Las Vegas, where authorities searched his home this week as part of a manslaughter investigation into Jackson’s death, might help explain why — beyond the chance to get close to a celebrity — Murray seized the chance to keep the pop star healthy through a series of concerts in London. But more than that, the financial pressures on Murray could help prosecutors establish a motive if he ends up facing charges. “Here he is, dealing with one of the most famous people in the world. There may have been a great deal of pressure to do what Michael Jackson wanted, give him the drugs he wanted, treat him the way Michael Jackson wanted to be treated, even if it wasn’t in keeping with medical protocol,” said Steve Cron, a criminal defense attorney and adjunct professor at Pepperdine University’s law school.
“Dr. Murray has lost the ability to make a living as a result of this investigation,” Chernoff said. “His hope is he can forestall foreclosure until he can once again begin working as a doctor.” Murray’s cresting financial woes fit into a history of money problems. He filed for bankruptcy in California in 1992 and had a string of tax liens in California and Arizona between 1993 and 2003. Also, a former business partner in an energy-drink distribution venture claimed Murray owed him $68,000. John Thomas, distributor of a drink called Pit Bull, said that in 2005 and 2006 Murray had the rights to distribute the product in Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean island nation where Murray lived and worked before coming to the United States in the 1980s to study medicine. The drink never gained popularity there. Murray paid his bill for a first shipment, then didn’t pay for three subsequent shipments, Thomas said.
Everybody stay crying broke these days. SMH

Being broke is no excuse for NOT doing your job. He had 2 office locations! He should have sold some of his *****ets to break even instead of spending money like nothing was wrong. I can’t stand negroes like HIM: trying to front like you’re living the life, when you really need to be satisfied w/ being comfortable until you HAVE money to spend!

Ah How many of you, if you had the money would pay doctor feel good to ease you up? Lots!
Rich folk have their drug dealers coming to their house in benzes and bentleys with the drugs in Louis Vetton bags. MJ paid to get this stuff and the doc did the business. But how hypercritical that a lot of you just ***** about the doctor and no the drug abuser!
craziness

@ B
Step you spelling game up. It’s “hypocritical”, not “hypercritical”. Also, it’s “Vuitton”, not “Vetton”. I get your point, but the mispelled words just bug me.

Put some truth in that story Bossip. Let it be known that AEG is the one who hired Dr Murray not mj.AEG just trying to cover their *****es that’s why they want Katherine jackson to sign an agreement not to sue their greedy shady *****es.Murray himself said AEG had not paid him for the past 2 months. They quickly paid him while still saying it was mike and the good Dr keeps his mouth shut.The media keeps omiting whats already been reported and replacing it with a revised version.
Ppl around mj stories keep changing too even the chef kai chase.
hmmmm....

This reminds me of Evan Chandler the father of Jordy Chandler the boy from the 93 extortion molestation shake down of mj. His father who was not aware that he was being taped said to his sons step father “You don’t understand this is bigger than me they are just waiting for me to make that call.” who were”they?” Are “they” same entity this final curtain call.Dr Murray said that nothing he gave mj should have killed him, he also said that he left the room so it’s possible that some one use his absence to enter the room inject mj while he was under slip back out and waited.A plant could have been in that last security detail that AEG hired.SO yes the dr will go down but is he the real killer.

If this guy was so shady – why did Michael and his so called team – hire him. If they hired a shady doctor – it makes me think they were doing something shady, too. Like taking all kinds of meds – he probably shouldn’t have been taking. It just doesn’t jive – that a man like Michael Jackson would hire a shady Doctor to keep him healthy. It sounds more correct Michael needed someone who WOULDNT question what he wanted to take, etc. I liked Michael Jackson and have basically remained quiet since he died, but we have to admit – he had drug problems or demons – whatever you want to call them that caught up to him.
