Even after his death, drama still surrounds Michael Jackson and his estate. Following a recent lawsuit filed by Jackson's former personal assistant, it looks like the "Thriller" singer's doctor is a wanted man.

TMZ reports a judge has ordered the arrest of Dr. Arnold Klein, MJ's skin doctor and close friend.

Klein has been under fire for injecting Jackson with Demerol in the months leading to his death and using multiple aliases for prescribing the singer medication.

Klein, now bankrupt, has yet to relinquish more than 100 pieces of expensive artwork, as well as a 2001 Ferrari Spider. The art collection includes pieces by Andy Warhol, Robert Graham, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Renoir, Rodin and Toulouse-Lautrec.

According to the report, the judge has ordered Klein to be incarcerated until he turns over the art and luxury car.

"It's bullshit, it's fraud," Klein told TMZ. "Have them come arrest me."

So arrest the guy quietly. Why is this 'Michael Jackson news'?

"It's bullshit, it's fraud," Klein told TMZ. "Have them come arrest me." Actually it's not either Klein. YOU filed Bankruptcy and you're not allowed to retain these possessions under Bankruptcy Laws, particularly if you filed a Chapter 7 or 11. Sounds as you'll get your wish, if the Judge issued a bench warrant, the men in blue will be picking you up quite soon. As for the "fraud" you mentioned, look in the mirror! You injected narcotics and most likely billed Insurance under multiple and false names. Your days as a Doctor are over, you'll never hold a license again.

Klein's impending arrest and money troubles have nothing to do with Michael Jackson. This is just yet ANOTHER GREEDY ATTEMPT to use Michael's name for headlines. Klein filed bankruptcy and refused to turn over to the bankruptcy trustee the items they are looking for per the law. That's why the arrest warrant is out. Does it ever end using Jackson's name to grab headlines?

It's all about the money. As long as MJ, the child molester, made money, he was safe. The same for his doctors. As long as they helped MJ get what he wanted while he made money, they were ok.

You can't say you're bankrupt when you are still in possession of several pieces of expensive artwork & a Ferrari---give me a break. Bankrupt means you have nothing. This jerk should have just sold the artwork himself instead of filing for bankruptcy---if he sold a couple pieces of artwork, then he wouldn't be broke. However, the deal with people like this is that because he doesn't live like the majority of other people do, he considers being bankrupt the fact that he can't live in the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed, and he thinks that he is entitled to file for bankruptcy & keep his assets too. He thinks filing for bankruptcy exonerates him from paying his debts & allows him to keep his Ferrari & artwork. What a jacka**.

cwg: he has to be a jerk of sorts to have helped MJ father some kids..... and keep up this lie when one of MJs son is a spitting image of Klein.

I'm on Kleins side: he filed bankruptcy per the law... he should be able to keep his art and car.

Ohioh111b111y: Doesn't matter if you're on Klein's side or not. Because he filed Bankruptcy, he can't retain the assets under the law. He has to provide the Trustee with a financial statement of all his assets and liabilities. Depending on the Chapter he filed, (7, 11 or 13), he's allowed to retain only certain things, and at set dollar values. Besides, Klein has little room to talk about "fraud" considering he injected Narcotics under false names and patient information.
