Will Tammie and Dave talk?

Bankruptcy trustee Soneet Kapila filed documents in court this week saying he plans to question Lou Pearlman's girlfriend, Tammie Hilton, his frequent jail visitor, David Hedrick, and three other people--Ben Owen, Barry Irving and Robert Devine. He also has issued subpoenas ordering them to hand over any correspondence or documents they've got related to Lou. Here is what he's ordered Tammie to produce. (See p. 11)

Update: Tammie's examination has been rescheduled for Jan. 7.

So what happened yesterday? Was Tammie able (or willing...) to provide any new insight?

Is it true that Pearlman once owned the Chippendales? I wonder why he would be into that business.

S.Bennett worked for Azzouz right after he and his buddy Greg McDonald left Pearlman. Did he get Janet and Kamla their new jobs too? Now I've read Bennett is head of "Public Relations" at Julian Benshcer's offshore company Sherwood Investments. According to NASD filings Bennet was also Pearlman's head of Shareholder Relations and Benscher was one of Pearlman's largest shareholders. All these people seem to work a tight-knit circle.

Re: "Barry is still working with Kamla and Janet at their new job which is working for Kevin Azzouz an Orlando Developer in Metro West. Janet had a tight relationship with Lou and would funnel all funds through Janet to Kamla (accounting controller) to pay bills and cut checks for all the different entities. Janet controlled all Lou's personal accounts and paid bills on a personal level for Lou. Kamla handled TC accounts and NYPD not to mention all the artist LLC's that were established."

Kosher may not be any better, let me warn you from a fellow jew...

However, I have no idea who the Orange County Jail contractor is for food services.

Fatso is eating kosher meals because he has a temple named after his late mom, Reenie. So he really is entitled to fill his gut with kosher food. He still scamming the system.

Mike
The server was in Melbourne the last I heard. Check out Barry's partner who work at TC with him.

Is Tammie holding a free big poppa rally next weekend?

We really need to see what this woman looks like. Wait, I can investigate her public records even better!

dear former employee-
i was intrigued by your post that "TC Airlines was all handled by Fischetti and Finger". can you tell us more about what their respective duties were.
thanks, seb

Kosher meals in most jails are a level of quality above regular food served. Even though Pearlman is not kosher, he has a continued need to obtain another asset, product or service through the use of fraud (even in jail), hence pretending to be kosher.

"Why is Mr. Pearlman eating kosher meals in prison when he used to eat 2 lb lobsters. Lobster is not a kosher food. Do you think he wants to be put in general population? Do you think he wants to mingle with the others in jail? Why is he so special?"

have you ever met Tammie? Quit running your mouth.

Fred is right. The feds,(US Prosecutor) are not interested in working with the US Trustee.
Mr. Hornberg appears to be protecting banks and certain officials from creditors. He is after all a federal employee, he appears to have taken a 180 degree turn from his initial indicatation to victims that their questionaire sent by his office would result in actions taken on their behalf to aid recovery and justice. It is disheartening at least, to hear nothing from the US Prosecutor that would give any hope to victims that he is working for them, not the banks, and not the state of Florida. This is our government.

But never share an elevator with them. The two of them exceed the load limit.

Tammy must find Lou very attractive. she loves men in uniform.

Someone please send a picture of Tammie to Helen so she can post it.

The trustee doesn't know where the servers are because the FBI will not tell him. They have them, and they are not interested in anything that the trustee is doing. He is just chasing his tail.

I don't think the servers would be hard to find. But that is assuming they are still where they were. Given that they were somewhere on the Space Coast, they were likely in a co-location facility. That's where it gets iffy. Chances are they or the data on them was removed for lack of payment. Companies do not keep servers in a residence as the bandwidth to support the enterprise would not be available. A Windows domain with Exchange servers would need quite a bit more than residential internet connection.

The answer to where are the servers is probably somewhere in the corporate paperwork or bank statements. If they were not on site at Church Street, then they had to be somewhere with uptime and bandwidth available.

The real question isn't where are the servers, but rather where are the backup tapes? If Barry was worth his salt as an administrator, you can bet he had backup tapes and likely kept some in a safe location in case of emergency. Also, given Lou's propensity to buy stuff and not pay, he likely leased the servers and they've been repossessed. If that wasn't the case, wouldn't we have seen Soneet auction them off at some point. Servers, firewalls, routers and racks can bring big money, it wouldn't make sense not to auction them if they were owned by Lou.

> The servers are hidden out near cocoa, New Smyrna, Space coast area. The servers were under Kamla and Janet's name. What the state saw when they came to audit last year was a decoy to fool them.

Can the FBI locate them with a search warrant? K and J won't talk; so how can they locate them?

TC Airlines was all handled by Fischetti and Finger. Crudele would come into the office from time to time with new investors but lived in Tampa. All of Lou's secretarial work was done by Mandy Newland. Mandy never wrote checks she would have to go to Kamla or Janet. These were the folks who Lou kept close to the hip on a daily basis. After graduating Law School Mike Ferderigo's was involved heavily with the setting up of LLC's and such. There you have it.... All the folks talked about in these blogs were small players in Lou's world. The above mentioned were his day to day people.

They could plead the 5th, but they don't have privilege, so they have to hand over any documents.

Tammie said she wasn't going to say sh*t!!!

They are due for depostions on Dec 17

I plead the 5th, and the 4th , and the 14th. Ha.

If Tammie or Dave know where the money is don't you think the FBI would have talked to them instead of the trustee?
Kapila has to much free time and is finding new ways to spend the money he has recovered. He is just like LP, taking the investors money.

Barry is working with Janet and Kamala.Will he tell where he hid the Trans Con server. Or will the person who worked for him, come forward and tell where the server is? Will Barry tell the truth or follow the evil money!!!!! Time will tell. As for Tammie if Lou will not own up to stealing from investors and long time friends, what kind message are you teaching your son. Lou is a thief period.

Wow, it doesn't look like he left anything out. Maybe they should ask Dave what happened to those pictures he found.

The answer?

"no"
