  • Anthony Pellicano, 75, is set to be released from prison in San Pedro on Saturday

  • He was convicted on 78 counts of racketeering and wiretapping in two trials held in 2003 and 2008

  • At the height of his reign, he worked on the behalf of A-list stars such as Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone to help with their court proceedings

  • Michael Jackson hired Pellicano in 1993 to source information following the first accusation of child molestation against him

  • Pellicano said he later banished the singer from his books after he unearthed what he calls disturbing details about the singer's personal life

  • FBI raided his Sunset Boulevard office in 2002, following threats aimed at a journalist to blow up her car. Officers found C4 and grenades in his safe

  • In 2008, just weeks before his scheduled release, Pellicano was convicted of an additional 70 charges of racketeering, wire fraud and wiretapping

  • Top executives and former clients have pooled together and contributed to a six-figure trust fund for Pellicano to show gratitude for not revealing their secrets
