I have always wondered what happened to the angular momentum of the
particles and photons as they collapsed to a point associated with a black
hole. A point of energy can have no angular momentum associated with it.
The idea that the energy turns into EM energy and circulates at the event
horizon makes more sense since it provides a mechanism for conservation of
angular momentum during the collapse of whatever energy into the "black
hole".
Since angular momentum is + or - depending upon the direction of circulation
of the mass--energy--I guess there could be a mechanism operating in a black
hole collapse that that
provides angular momentum from the vacuum to cancel-out the positive angular
momentum associated with the system that collapses.
This latter idea would suggest that there is no magnetic field associated
with a black hole whose mass has become a point at a singularity.
However, if Eric is correct, one would expect to observe magnetic fields
associated with EM circulating at an event horizon.

BTW, as I have said before, black holes are empty. All matter is converted
to energy at or before the event horizon, and circulates as EM energy at
the event horizon, warping spacetime into a circle. ;)
What kind of energy?
Photons.
The notion of a singularity at the center of a black hole seems like a leap
of logic to me. I wonder whether it's simply the case that the
mathematical model (from general relativity) is oversimplifying things
close to the black hole, resulting in the counterintuitive mathematical
result.
Bingo.
