"The&lt;strong&gt; Michael Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Estate&lt;/strong&gt; made some interesting calls when it came to creditors -- who got paid, who didn't, and who's still waiting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"Michael Jackson Estate\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/09/23/0923-arnie-mj-thom-ex-getty-tmz-credit.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The estate made a bunch of decisions on creditors' claims, but four stand out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Arnold Klein &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/29/dr-arnold-klein-michael-jackson-estate-creditors-claim-demerol/\"&gt;submitted two claims&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; for medical services in the months before Michael Jackson died -- totaling $58,522.89.&amp;#160; Pretty ironic, since some people in the Jackson world believe Klein contributed to MJ's death.&amp;#160; The estate has taken no action so far -- neither rejecting nor paying the dough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;strong&gt; Tom Mesereau&lt;/strong&gt;, the lawyer who did a remarkable job in Jackson's 2005 molestation trial.&amp;#160; Mesereau &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/09/29/lawyers-from-mj-molestation-case-want/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;submitted a claim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for $341,452.05.&amp;#160; The estate paid the lawyer in full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;strong&gt;Kai Chase&lt;/strong&gt;, the cook who was at Jackson's home the morning he died and the woman who interacted with Dr. Conrad Murray that day, &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/19/michael-jackson-creditors-claim-estate-kai-chase-chef-died-dr-conrad-murray/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;submitted a claim&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for $8,000.&amp;#160; The executors compromised with Chase and settled the claim by making partial payment.&amp;#160; This one is interesting because some of MJ's family got pissed off when she made the rounds on TV following his death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;strong&gt;Raymone Bain&lt;/strong&gt;, MJ's longtime publicist and friend who had a mega falling-out with Jackson, had &lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/04/09/michael-jackson-estate-raymone-bain-publicist-creditors-claim-lawsuit/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;filed two claims&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; totaling $404,000.&amp;#160; The estate rejected the claim and Bain sued. The court tossed her case out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
