On November 19, 2003 The Drudge Report posted that Sly was “questioned by the FBI in connection with a case in which his phone may have been tapped by disgraced celebrity sleuth Anthony Pellicano.” Pellicano, under grand jury investigation for alleged illegal wiretapping, was hired by attorney Burt Fields who represented Sly‘s former business manager Kenneth Starr in case where he had been sued by Sly for $17.3 million. That case was settled in January. Fields “has vehemently denied that he had any knowledge of Pellicano‘s alleged wiretaps.” Sly was simply questioned for any knowledge that he might have and was in no way under investigation. – Craig Zablo |
