Jackson's money problems began back in 1985 when the Harvard-trained lawyer was living in Middlesex County, Mass., and was hit with a federal tax lien for failing to pay $3,000 since 1983, state records show. He paid off the IRS debt two years later, but his money troubles continued.

In 1993, Jackson filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to federal court records. Among the nearly three dozens creditors he owed were city, state and federal tax collection agencies, Harvard University -- where Jackson received his law degree in 1978 -- several banks, a church, a hospital, relators and the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
