Well, good

Jackson to pay workers but Neverland still closed

Apparently he let his workman's comp insurance lapse (big no-no when you're employing folks) and owes over $300 thousand in back wages to his employees. This and other legal problems continue to plague Michael Jackson in the wake of his child molestation trial, which yes, he was acquitted of, but frankly the court of public opinion is not so forgiving. Jackson himself is spending much time in Bahrain; some have suggested it is to avoid any further charges against the performer.

In the Cthulhu game, there are opponents that you just can't take out directly, because they have too much power and wealth. I've always found the best way to deal with this situation is to bankrupt them. Looks like the state of California has a similar philosophy. I suspect that Jackson's business dealings will come under heavy scrutiny for some time.
