Lisa Marie Presley Dies At 54 After Cardiac Arrest

"The lawsuit says that Priscilla Presley — aware that her daughter was preparing to remove her as the sole head of her trust — prematurely withdrew life-saving medical treatment, with the aim of gaining control of the estate."

Wow. Priscilla has a heap of trouble her way. The article goes into detail on all the suit includes.


too complex, to be believable, yet.
Riley is standing with Priscilla on this one.
We shall see

I read in the NYT where Priscilla's lawyer, Singer, says Riley stands with her grandma 100%. No comment from Riley or her lawyers. I'm very interested to read if Riley offers her total support. The legal issues that arose from LMP death are indeed complex. Sad all around

P has always been out for herself, since the day E died. She's been in it for the money and will do whatever it takes to stay in control. Riley hopefully will be taking over. I don't know if she really wants it though, I think she saw what it did to her mom. She has a good career going now without any of the inner fighting of the family over Elvis's money/property.

A good review of this convoluted lawsuit by Law and Crime. If you have read Lisa's book, it makes some of these accusations seem very plausible.

  • Priscilla Presley's former business partners Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko claim in a lawsuit that Priscilla allegedly hid a multi-million dollar jewelry collection worth "upwards of $25 million" from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
  • Kruse and Fialko allege that she claimed the collection was worth $6,000, when it was allegedly worth $25 million
  • The collection was allegedly stored off-site by the manager of Graceland's archives

It makes me wonder if some of the problems Lisa had with her are from things like this. Whatever Priscilla has is Lisa’s and this could have been an ongoing contentious issue between them.

I can’t see this without accepting cookies. Can you please tell me what the source is?
Yes, many links have this third party cookies thing. What’s going on? I won’t open them.

I’m not either because once you do you will open yourself up to zero privacy. I inquired in the ‘ask any questions’ thread and Othram said that he was going to fix the problem but it is still there.


This is what another member posted:

“Here’s the answer….

Yes, a forum can generate revenue when a user accepts third-party cookies, as these cookies enable targeted advertising and tracking, which is how many online platforms monetize their content by earning commissions or fees from advertisers for views or sales generated. By accepting cookies, users provide data about their browsing habits, allowing advertisers to display more relevant ads, and the platform receives compensation for facilitating this user activity and data collection”.

Yes, some websites use this data to track you in order to put ads in front of you, but that is just not on our list of things to do.

Othram took over management of Websleuths precisely because we saw the value of the platform and thought that running it with ads was a terrible user-experience. We believed that WS users appreciated the site enough that we'd be able to pay for it through donations (Websleuths Guardians and tips), through merch sales (coming soon), and / or by driving Websleuths users to activate through promotions of the America's Crime Lab podcast and the Othram app.

Selling your eyeballs to Google for ads is not interesting to us. Here's literally everything I do with our Google Analytics:
  1. Track user-growth
  2. See where traffic is coming from (so we can find more people to visit)
  3. See if any of my UX changes to the site are helping or hurting.
  4. Identify any areas of the site that aren't being used at all and find out why.
  5. Identify any areas of the site that are being used the most and focus on making it better.
Regarding embedded youtube videos, YouTube's embedding code works if they can attach cookies to the embedded video. If you block those cookies, the embeds weren't supposed to work. Once I enabled the new cookie-banner, and gave you the power to refuse those cookies, the embed stops working as designed. However, Google and YouTube aren't stupid – they still want you to watch their videos, so they gave us a workaround. XenForo - the company that makes the forum software - has a bug in their code that prevents that.

I'm still working on a fix for that. I'm sorry it's a pain-in-the-tail, but I am working on it.

Thank you for explaining this, it’s not my area of expertise. I will wait for when it is fixed to open any links.

Thanks for the explanation. It seems fine JMO. It’s the same system many news and online magazine sites have these days.
