Michael Jackson launches counter suit against Marc Shaffel

Michael Jackson has counter-sued former associate Marc Shaffel, who says Jackson owes him more than $3m, alleging Shaffel concealed funds and kept his artwork.

Michael Jackson has launched a counter suit against former associate Marc Shaffel, who says that Jackson owes him more than $3m, the result of a loan he made to the star, as well as payment for producing two TV shows. Jackson's new counter claim states that Mr Schaffel concealed and misappropriated funds, saying that Jacko's former associate failed to pay costs from the production of the song 'What More Can I Give?' and continued to represent himself as affiliated with the star after their business arrangement ended. Jackson also claims that Schaffel kept a number of his sculptures and paintings. It's all thrilling stuff.
