Dr.Tohme Tohme is a straight up FRAUD! The today show did an investigation about him and they said that he isn't a medical doctor or doctor as he claims to be. I dont like Tohme Tohme at all he is one of the people responsible for MJ financial problems. Tohme was FIRED by Michael before his death on May 2009, and yet he appeared at the press conference with Jermaine to announce Michael’s death. Michael Jackson broke ties with Tohme in May (09) and sent a letter to all business associates, in which he insisted, "Dr. Tohme Tohme is no longer authorized to represent him. Tohme was evidently fired because Michael didn’t appreciate the way he handled the auction of some of Michael’s things from Neverland in April 2009. Tohme still has those items and stubbornly refuses to turn them over to the estate (forcing them to have to sue to get them signed over). Apparently, Tohme THREATENED Julien’s over the auction of these items with something like: “There will be bloodshed…“. I don’t remember Tohme’s specific threat, but I DO KNOW MICHAEL JACKSON ABHORS VIOLENCE and that this is apparently at least part of the reason Tohme was fired, and the auction was canceled, besides the fact that it appears Michael himself didn’t even KNOW his own things were being put up for auction. He found out when some fans told him. These fans were with Michael on April and before they were with him they visited the auction site. They told Michael that his belogings were being auction and Michael could not believed it. He was almost in tears.
I understand that he and Mr. Phillips of AEG are brother-in-laws. I believe that he is working still behind the scenes for some reason. He could have get revenge on June 25th. I get this in my gut. Just have a feeling about things. He was let go in May of 09. Several people who were in a meeting including MJ's parents did not trust him. Michael saw through him and let him go. MJ hired a man who he spoke with about things. Mr. L. Rowe is a trusted family friend, and I saw him on Larry King Live several months ago. Michael was changing things around for the better, and he desired to have Mr. Rowe manage him for the This Is It tour.
Not only did Tohme mysteriously show up after Michael’s death with Jermaine – after Michael had long since fired him, he oh-so-generously decided to return several MILLION DOLLARS of Michael’s money after Michael died, that he said he was “holding” for him. As I said, Tohme had Michael Jackson completely cut off from his own attorneys, and his own money, and his own affairs.Tohme was also stealing from Michael and when Michael find out he was very afraid off him. He was afraid of Tohme, afraid of whatever he may be capable of doing... He had taken over Michael's complete life.
listen to this recording of Michael saying he had doubts when it come to Tohme http://popdirt.com/michael-jacksons-doubts-about-t...
In my own personal opinion, this shady Tohme character warrants further investigation, though I doubt it will be pursued because he is being protected. Oddly, he has since slithered back into the shadows, likely never to be heard about again, though HE was primarily responsible for the deal made with AEG for the O2 shows – the rehearsals and stress which helped drive Michael to his death. The ill-conceived AEG deal put Michael in a financial noose with them such that he had NO choice in whether or not to do the shows (or at least whether or not to do so MANY shows), and NO choice or control over much of anything regarding the shows, right down to who he was allowed to use for wardrobe design. To AEG, Michael Jackson was an “investment”, not a human being, and therefore his physical ability (or willingness) to even complete 50 2-hour concerts was not a consideration. They paid a lot of money for him and he was to do as they required or else. AEG were covering Michael’s rent on his Holmby Hills Estate, his children’s schooling, Conrad Murray’s salary, and many other expenses. They quite had him over a financial barrel.
