Boy Band Czar Cuts a Deal

Posted Mar 3rd 2008 8:50PM by TMZ Staff

Lou Pearlman, best known for his work with boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, struck a plea deal in his federal bank fraud case and will work with prosecutors to help recover millions of dollars he is accused of stealing.

Pearlman allegedly defrauded banks out of more than $100 million and stole another $300 mil from investors. Psssh -- chump change!

He entered a not guilty plea last year, but will change his plea to guilty in a hearing scheduled for Thursday. As for jail time, that's for a judge to decide.

46. WHAT ABOUT "CHILD MOLESTATION CHARGES"???????

$$$$$$ Always wins out over sex abuse charges with the government. I think this man should be thrown in jail and the key tossed away for good. I read his story in Vanity Fair and it made me sick to my stomach. This man is truly a pig in every sense of the word.

55. He's a walking billboard for gluttony; of every sort. Just remember, and mentally note, that before his disclosed legal trouble, this exact same man was considered the great American dream.

Isn't gluttony one of the seven deadlly sins? Yes, it is. From Wikipedia: the seven deadly sins are as follows: Luxuria (extravagance, later lust), Gula (gluttony), Avaritia (greed), Acedia (sloth), Ira (wrath), Invidia (envy), and Superbia (pride). Each of the seven deadly sins has an opposite among the corresponding seven holy virtues (sometimes also referred to as the contrary virtues). In parallel order to the sins they oppose, the seven holy virtues are chastity, abstinence, temperance, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

56. What the hell are you all taking about? He has never been accused of molestation but stealing from his boy bands. I think he owes them money just as well.
