Talk about yer 'cash cows'!

The trial in the Marc Schaffel case against Mikey resumed yesterday. During Schaffel's testimony, the distributor of barely-legal gay porn and Jacko money man, told of providing $300,000 to a family living in Brazil on Mikey's behalf. He didn't elaborate on what the money was actually being sent for, referring to it only as a "personal matter" of Mikey's. Roger Friedman in his column today says his sources are convinced that this money when to an already sequestered family whose son Mikey'd abused earlier, making this another hush-money payoff like the 20-million and 2-million dollar payoffs in the '90s. Mikey's then-accountant confirmed the request for the $300 Gs but said he "chose" not to know the full reason for it after hearing a partial explanation. Hmmm, not sure we would want to know either. The jury in the trial has also been treated to a series of taped messages Mikey left Schaffel alternately begging for money, love and loyalty... we'd love to get an earful o'them, too... anybody got a link? PLUS: TMZ.com is running a snippet of the deposition video made earlier this year in London, where a clueless and clearly muddle-headed Mikey can't seem to understand a very basic question. When asked where he would get cash from when he needed it, he says he got it from the cows at Neverland! Of course, we know he means he got the cash from the leasing of the grazing land there to the cows' owners but really, how stupid-seeming does he think he's allowed to be and still get a pass?! Is this the much vaunted child-like innocence we've heard tell of all these years?! Or, does Mikey really think that at Neverland the cows spurt regular milk, chocolate milk and $20-dollar bills?! Note how he cagey he thinks he is when he offers that when he needed money he never went to his accountants; note how smug he becomes thinking he's really pulled a fast one on the questioner. Here's the link and we know there'll be more snippets coming in the next few days. We can't wait!
