According to London's Sunday People, Michael Jackson spent $35 million in a bid to cover up crimes after he molested 24 young boys. The tabloid claims to have gotten their hands on "secret FBI files," which revealed grizzly details from Michael's past.
The files were assembled by Anthony Pellicano, who Jackson reportedly hired to sweep all of his unsavory secrets under the rug. While Pellicano is serving 15 years for wire tapping and racketeering in an unrelated case, an associate of his spoke about working on the Jackson case.
"I was hired by him to find out where the fires needed putting out and, in this case, where allegations would be coming from, but I have never worked on a case with as many potential claimants as the Jackson case."
Pellicano's files identified 17 boys, including five child actors, that Michael preyed on throughout the years. At least three of the boys got hush money, with a $20 million settlement going to the family of Jordan Chandler, a boy Michael had befriended.
