FBI, Indonesian officials flush out Pearlman
Lou Pearlman was forced out of hiding Thursday after being expelled by Indonesian authorities and turned over to the FBI. He was flown to Guam to appear before a judge, officials said.
Pearlman's arrest on one felony count of bank fraud ended several months of hiding for the boy-band mogul, who created the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync. He also faces several lawsuits and two involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, but hasn't responded to court subpoenas and doesn't have an attorney in either bankruptcy case.
“We expect that he will be returned to Florida,” said Steve Cole, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa.
Pearlman was also involved in airplane charters, talent scouting, restaurants and other ventures.

Foxy Brown, threatened with jail after being accused of violating probation that stemmed from an assault case, was restored to probation in good standing Thursday by a Manhattan judge.
“I'm going to restore her to probation,” Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson said over objections by a Probation Department lawyer. “There's no necessity for the court to monitor her.”
Over the past two months, the 27-year-old rapper has kept appointments with her probation officer, gotten permission before leaving the state, passed her drug tests and attended required anger management classes, Jackson said.
