In Central Florida, an involuntary petition for personal bankruptcy against music entrepreneur Lou Pearlman was filed by American Bank of St. Paul, Minnesota, First National Bank of Trust of Williston, North Dakota, Tatonka Capital Corp. of Denver, Colorado and Integra Bank of Evansville, Indiana. They claim he owes them a combined $48 million.
Claims by each petitioner:
