prince needs a new accountant! seriously

The Irish Times - Monday, February 14, 2011

MCD pursues Prince for €2.2m through US court


RONAN McGREEVY

MCD PROMOTER Denis Desmond is pursuing Prince through the American courts to recover €2.2 million in damages which have not been paid.

Documents filed in the Central District of the Los Angeles Superior Court are seeking recognition of the High Court judgment given last year against Prince.

If judgment is granted, Mr Desmond will be able to target Prince’s assets, including his home, if he does not pay.

MCD is seeking interest payment of 8 per cent on the settlement, which would add another €176,000 to the total owed by Prince to the promoter, if he does make payment by March 26th.

Mr Desmond sued Prince when the temperamental superstar cancelled a concert in Croke Park scheduled for June 16th, 2008, just 13 days before it was due to take place.

A total of 55,000 tickets had been sold for the event. Prince never gave a reason for the cancellation and has never made a public comment about it.

The case went to the Commercial Courts in February last year and was settled after a four-day hearing. Prince agreed to pay €1.6 million in damages and a further €600,000 in legal costs to Mr Desmond.

However, Prince didn’t pay the money by the agreed date of March 10th last year. As a result, judgment was entered into against him followed by a European Enforcement Order Certificate, which allowed MCD to pursue Prince’s assets within the EU.

The documents, seen by The Irish Times , state that MCD has obtained preliminary attachment of approximately €692,000 held in Prince’s bank accounts in France and Portugal but have still not received any money.

Speaking after the judgment last year, Mr Desmond said Prince had been badly advised. “His own side says he is just not communicating. It is sad that an artist of the calibre of Prince has found himself in this position. He needs to surround himself with good advisers.”

Well, I guess we'll either get some off-hand crappy release or a tour of rehashed hits.

Did he make a load of money off of Lotusflow3r and 20Ten? How is he always in these situations?

I know he's an asshole, but surely the man can't be stupid.



You're a real fucker. You act like you own this place--ParanoidAndroid <-- about as witty as this princess gets! lol
I hope everyone pays more attention to Sags posts--sweething mushy

Jesus weeps disbelief

Let's not jump to conclusions. There could be a reason why they haven't gotten their money. Maybe he signed the check with the love symbol, forgetting that he has changed his name back to Prince, and the Irish bank wouldn't cash it.

The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach.

I am on the other thread and I am never angry. P does not need a new account or advisors he knows he owes the money he just does not plan to pay it. He has a history of keeping these kinds of matters going for yeas. He never paid the guy that Big Chick beat up back in 1984 the suit dragged on for almost a decade until the guy dropped it. We know he has the money he just does not want to pay

We should start a betting pool on what he’ll do to scrounge up cash. A national tour? Another residency in London? Releasing 20Ten deluxe through another club that charges $2010 in exchange for VIP seats at a concert that never happens?

Ok really, why in the world would he cancel that concert in the first place?!?!?! 55,000 tickets sold? Prince, babe, what were you thinking? Then you probably get off easy with the 1.5million settlement and you still don't pay? C'mon...I really need to volunteer my accounting services to P. I hope he clears this mess up. I really wish he'd go and do a concert to make things up to the fans..

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol
