Press Release Body = Tallahassee, FL September 29, 2006 - Extensive research into
the two-year investigation of Orlando businessman Lou Pearlman's Trans Continental
Entertainment Group, Inc. (a publicly-traded company with symbol "TCTE") by the
Florida Attorney General's Office has produced a book entitled Under Investigation
(ISBN 0-9687133-3-5) which exposes corruption and intrigue at the highest levels of
Charlie Crist's administration.

Les Henderson, the author of another book on white-collar crime entitled Crimes of
Persuasion: Schemes, Scams, Frauds (ISBN 0-9687133-0-0) has just released this
highly provocative book, one based on thousands of documents painstakingly obtained
through public records requests under Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine Law.

Lou Pearlman's model scouting business, which was essentially run by convicted
fraudsters and other unsavory characters, was portrayed in the media as an outright
scam. Yet, after two years of investigation, the Attorney General's Office virtually
gave it a clean bill of health. This highly-cited book will show you how the dirty
truth was covered up, first by firing the assistant attorney general in charge of
the case, then by a blatant attempt to first bury, then whitewash the entire sordid
affair.

Over 150,000 victims expected Charlie Crist and his Deputy AG George LeMieux to act
on their behalf to get restitution. Instead, despite the thousands of complaints
received by their office and the overwhelming evidence exposing a multitude of
fraudulent and deceptive acts at the Orlando scouting network, Crist secretly
allowed his underlying goal of becoming Governor to negate his purported
"tough-on-crime" stance when it came to
his Republican supporter, Louis J. Pearlman.

Under Investigation by Les Henderson (ISBN 0-9687133-3-5) is currently available
exclusively through Amazon.com. Consideration will be given to political and
business reporters wishing to obtain a copy for review. Please contact the publisher
