dia duit: They were sold as part of the Jackson collection, but the collection wasn't the Michael Jackson collection. Only a very small percentage of the collection had anything to do with Michael or Janet.
The problem was that the whole collection, including MJ's and Janet's stuff, were stored with a storage company, and the Jackson who was doing that (or his company) went BK, and didn't pay off the storage costs. The BK receiver in that case sold the storage contents, including stuff that weren't the property of the person/company in question.
So, Michael and Janet sued in Las Vegas in an attempt to rectify this situation.
