Court-appointed special administrators have told a South Carolina judge that a former trustee of the late James Brown's finances may have misappropriated up to $7 million, according to the Associated Press.
In court yesterday, the judge allowed the late soul singer's heirs to pursue those claims and also ordered the trustee, David Cannon, to pay back $370,000 in addition to the $350,000 the man paid last month.
The court also allowed the attorney generals for South Carolina and Georgia to advocate for needy children who are supposed to benefit from a charity Brown had established, the "I Feel Good" trust.
Sonny Jones, a South Carolina assistant attorney general, announced: "We want to make sure that any money that is supposed to go to that trust will go to that trust and be properly administered."
According to the AP, the judge did not hear a motion from a Houston woman (who says she is Brown's daughter) requesting that all of Brown's children who are named in Brown's will take a paternity test.
LaRHONDA LAPETIT says she has taken a paternity test that proves she is Brown's child.
