"...money supposedly went to the plaintiffs. "

Exact amount not clear, but in that LONG documentary/interview..(which has been re-broadcast about 9 times in the last week)..Jackson admitted that he paid some money rather than drag it all out.

Of course, this proves nothing...but the entire program sure clarifies a lot about MJ and his strange life. (Just watching him go 'shopping' in Las Vegas is enlightening)
