TMZ has just revealed that Joe Jackson's business partner for his new record label, is a convicted criminal.
Marshall Thompson, who Joe famously introduced during a news conference a few days after MJ's death, served 366 days in federal prison back in 2001 after pleading guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit extortion in Illinois.
Thompson, an ex police officer, conspired with active duty officers to sell police badges for $1000-$2500 each
According to federal docs, the businessmen bought the badges so they could get the perks of being a cop -- carrying a concealed weapon, parking in restricted areas and "receiving discounts for goods and services"
Before Thompson became a felon, he was a member of the Chi-Lites -- a band famous for "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl" back in the '70s.
So much drama for the Jackson family.
RIP Michael.
