Michael Jackson claims to have discovered a conspiracy by his former employees to force him into bankruptcy.
The Thriller singer's spokeswoman Raymone Bain said the alleged plot was uncovered through leaked documents, which alleged some of Jackson's former advisors had attempted to recruit other associates into a petition which would leave the star broke.
Bain says: "In what could be one of the biggest conspiracies in entertainment history, documents have been sent to Michael Jackson and his representatives which reveal a deliberate plan by some former advisors and associates to force Mr Jackson into involuntary bankruptcy."
While Bain refused to name the person who provided the documents, she said Jackson's new legal team were investigating the scheme and plan to file several lawsuits against the alleged conspirators.
Bain adds: "In addition, there is a strong possibility that these documents will be forwarded to the US Attorney General for review and possible involvement.
"Michael Jackson was neither shocked nor surprised. He's always been suspicious that some of those whom he entrusted to act on his behalf may not have acted in his best interests."
