- Lou Pearlman, the man who created the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, was sentenced Wednesday to 25 years in federal prison for engineering a decades-long scam that bilked thousands of investors out of their life savings.

lol... Sucks to be him!

25 years in celebrity terms = 1 week

Sucks for him... he had talent to finding groups, he should have paid everyone back once he "made it"... that much greed isn't good :2 cents:

for creating nsync and the backstreet boys? Id call that a slap on the wrist. Id have sent him to gitmo

This guy is no celebrity he's probably going to a federal pound you in the ass prison.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

he looks like he ate some of his investors

yep agreed.

THERE IS A GOD!!!

-Ben

they should have hung him by his neck 10 years ago for the crimes he committed against society with his putrid shitspawned boybands..

You'd think you could make enough creating N'Sync and Backstreet Boys that you could give up the con jobs...Guess not.

"Over the past nine months since my arrest, I've come to realize the harm that's been done," Pearlman said in a short courtroom statement.

Come to realize are you fucking kidding me - asshat

he'll be out in 4 years..

I read that the judge told him for every million dollars he returns to investors he defrauded he will reduce his sentence by 1 month. I wonder if suddenly he is going to have a large chunk of cash appear.

that's some funny stuff. I vaguely recall seeing him on a reality tv show. I think it would be different if he wasn't a fat blob.

also sentenced for releasing the backstreet boys into the public.

Damn..300 million..dudes been busy

That guy is creepy creepy creepy. I'm surprised he's not behind bars for anything worse...

He was so successful and he choose to still fuck people at the same time. Being too greedy can hurt.

I wonder if I can get that refund for that 'N Sync concert now...

oops.

I never said that.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

It's hard not being contented:(

It's FEDERAL. The most he can reduce his time by is around 10% of his sentence. So he'll be in prison for at least 22 years. So basiclly a life sentence for him.

with as many people as he screwed over that might be the safest place for him

conan just used my joke on his show

yea, because the first 10 years just wasnt quite enough time to realize he was fucking people over

That guy is an ASS!!!

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Sucks more for those scammed :2 cents:

He scammed them for $300M - congrats!

well, it looks like he got what was coming to him. :1orglaugh

$300m holy mother of god:helpme

He took $300 million. The judge told him that they'd reduce his sentence 1 month for every $1 million dollars he returns to the victims. If he pays them all back, he could be out next week, but I don't think that's going to happen.

good....

Good - serves him right.

He should have been sentenced to listenning to their shitty albums over and over.. Clockwork Orange style!

Interesting clause by the judge there buying freedom for 1 million per month ... 25 years @ 1 million per month get out of jail free card = $300 Million. Will be interesting to see if he pays back anything. IF and that would be a big IF he was smart with the $300 Million and he was able to make it into more than 300 mil, he could pay it all back and still have a nice chunk left over. If that was the case then technically he could pay back the money that he stole, he profits the amount he has left over (which are basically profits from crime), and not serve very much time at all. OR He blew all or most of it and is going to rot in federal pound him in the ass prison.

Bye Bye Bye!

His prison name : Hung-Like-A-Horse
