Lou Pearlman *NJAIL -- Gets 25 Years in Slammer

Posted May 21st 2008 10:32AM by TMZ Staff

Boy band man Lou Pearlman -- the guy who made the Backstreet Boys and 'NSYNC famous -- just got 25 years in the big house for money laundering and conspiracy, among other shady s**t.

Big Lou pleaded guilty back in March to a long, complicated con game that basically pumped up his net worth and cheated other people out of millions. The judge gave him the maximum sentence.

Bye, bye, bye.

Guess it caught up with him. Since he got the maximum sentence, it's probably a safe bet that either the judge or the U.S. Attorney (or both) took a dislike to the guy.

He doesn't really seem like the kind of person you could work up much sympathy for.

20. He will do Fed time, most likely Eglin. More like a barracks than a prison, safe and has a/c.

27. Wasn't this guy charged with playing with little boys? Did he also get convicted of that? If so, why wasn't it mentioned?

He's toast in the prison system. He'll have to stay in a special ward for offenders so he doesn't get shanked.

28. It's odd that he got maximun sentence. I bet there were some inofficial sues in progress, too. I'd assume they involve sexual harrassment of little boys?

This goes to show; what goes around and around and around and around comes back around.

That is what this HUGE ASS**** gets for running the money scam on N"SYNC.

30. It's about time. Unfortunately it won't undo what he has already done. At least he can't do any harm to anymore. Karma is a sweet thing. He is such a slime.
