That's just a small part of the story that involves FBI raids and a permanent ban from ever getting near any Universal/MCA tapes.
To say that this guy has some baggage is an understatement.
A lot of the dirt was for awhile on his Wikipedia page, but his minions absolutely waged war against Wikipedia to get all of it taken down, and eventually Wikipedia threw their hands up, sanitized the page, and closed it to alteration. That's how this guy operates.
A lot of other reissue companies are pretty pissed, saying that he has hurt all of them in getting rights to master tapes from many companies.
On the other hand, he has created a very powerful marketing persona through his incessant self-promotion, so there are plenty of reissue labels that want his name attached so they can tap into his followers.
