<blockquote>Some say Jordan's father was murdered because he owed a debt that Jordan refused to pay for his father because his father was always in those situations and Jordan eventually cut him off. Their is also a rumor that Jordan Sr's Killers had a check of $57,000 that was signed by Michael himself to pay off a previous debt his father owed. No one knows whether or not this is true but their does seem to be a conspiracy around Jordans father death as it seems too unlikely that a gambler constantly in debt was Murdered on a robbery for no apparent reason. There is also a statement from the murderer that Jordans father was shot while being cooperative with the robbers, So why did they shoot? WE WILL NEVER KNOW...</blockquote>
