The promoter, Bill Reid, told the Virginian-Pilot newspaper last week that the funds represent eight years of unpaid concert revenues. As their promoter, Reid said he was contracted to receive 10 per cent of The Wailers' live show fees.

"It's an unfortunate turn of events for people who used to get along really, really well," Reid's attorney, Jeff Breit, is quoted as saying in the Virginian-Pilot.

It states, in part, that Wailers' agents, Aston 'Family Man' [Barrett] and Jennifer Miller, lived lavishly while at the same time pleading poverty to Reid. Barrett is also the band's leader and bass player. Miller is his com mon-law wife.
