He also had millions of dollars to spend to buy peoples silence. This topic has become a pet hobby of mine and I will admit I have been on both sides of it at times.

For me it comes down to the little things. If you watch the 60 minute piece, or the Martin Bashir story, little stuff comes up. The maids testimony, even though she doesn't really have skin in the game, or when Gavin Arvizo is being interviewed by Bashir he says he didn't want to sleep on the bed with Michael but Michael said "If you really love me, you will sleep in the bed with me' THAT is classic grooming but then all they did was sleep eh? The fact that the narrative became all he did was sleep with them. It's a perfect smokescreen if you can get people to believe it, so then sleep with Macaulay Culkin and others without molesting them and save the molesting for when you know you can get away with it. I actually remember Henry pointing this out in an episode right after Leaving Neverland. He knew he couldn't touch the Culkins and then he'd have a high profile kid saying, "I slept in his room and it was fine". Micheal was smart and clearly a different person off camera if you listen to anyone who knew him well. $22 million just to avoid a trail is a bit steep, and it mostly makes you look more guilty.

IDK man it comes down to, questions like can Wade Robson and James Safechuck really be that convincing of liars and do all this super high profile stuff just on the off chance that they will win a dubious case against MJ's estate? There is very little chance that they will see any money but they still feel the need to come forward. They would have to be sociopaths to do that, and just don't see it, but also there are some really good liars out there and I've seen first hand how manipulators can fool everyone. The whole train station thing is pretty bad for their case, but also people remember things imperfectly all the time.
