Los Angeles (CNN) -- Federal officials are reviewing the probation of a local man believed to the maker of an anti-Islam film that ignited a firestorm in the Muslim world, a court spokeswoman said Friday.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was convicted in 2009 of bank fraud and was placed on supervised probation for five years.

Federal officials consider Nakoula to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Islam "Innocence of Muslims."

A review of his federal probation is ongoing, said Karen Redmond, spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

Redmond didn't provide details of why and when the probation review was initiated, or how long would the process would take.

While on probation, Nakoula can't access computers or any device that can access the Internet without approval from his probation officer.

But what about his film? Is there any truth in it?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Now making a cheesy, plot-less movie with zero production values is a federal crime.

Isn't that special?

Nakoula Bessaly Nakoula is a great warrior for Christ! We must let the stinking servants of Satan know that Christians will not permit the persecution of this blessed man!

Thank God these people- obama, clinton, pelosi, kerry, manbearpig- were not fully at the tiller on 9/11/2001.

That’s right: GM’s a joke and Osama is dead.

Coverup. This film was first posted back in July. Obama Admin. is looking for something to cover their suicidal and anti-American foreign policy.

Wow, he rips Wells for a few grand and gets a felony. Wells/Wachovia launders mountains of drug money and gets fined...

[Vendome]

What kind of name is that?

Kinda like Smith Michael Smith....

[Truthteller80]

Everything in the film is a verifiable fact! The servants of the demon Mohammed wilk try to supress THE TRUTH but THE LORD will protect HIS true servants!

All true Christians must see this film and BEAR WITNESS to the TRUTH it speaks about the satanic child molestor Mohammed!

Simply go to youtube and search “innocence of muslims”. Make sure to pick a 13 minute 1 and pay attention to how they mess with the voices whenever they mention Muhammad and Islam.
It has clearly been messed with post production and in my opinion is an agitprop campaign by some very nasty individuals with an agenda.

Ther Muslim in the White House is going to lock someone up to please the savages that murdered our diplomats. Can we get any lower?

Probation violation is the only thing they can do to him at this point but once in custody a question arises .... Does the United States have an extradition treaty with Egypt? Would this junta hand over the film maker to the Egyptian govt . to be tried & executed for blasphemy?

Does the United States have an extradition treaty with Egypt? would the Obama administration & Eric Holder DoJ send this guy to Egypt to be tried for blasphemy (that is a capitol crime there) in a kangaroo court ? Something to think about ain’t it folks.
