Amazing - 25 years for nicking $300 million - yet his reputation would have been far more damaged if he'd fiddled with the odd member as they practiced their dance steps.

Which I'm sure he didn't, of course.

and he gets a discount off his sentence if he can find any of the "missing millions" !

Wasn't he accused of "fiddling" JK ? 25 years is a bit steep for a financial crime. Yet murderers and rapists get less. Hmm

I'm amazed at that comment JK. Off course his reputation would be more tarnished had he " fiddled with the odd member ". Surely you agree that the act you're implying is more serious than nicking bundles of cash??

Not if the imaginary member wanted to be fiddled with - something beyond belief of course.

Great band, Backstreet Boys, whatever about Pearlman's sticky fingers.

Mind you, the line, "I don't care who you are / where you've been / what you've done / As long as you love me" will never sound quite the same again.

Didn't I see them on the telly recently with a comeback?

Apparently he conspired over a long period, decades in fact, and built a house of cards, hurting a great many people.

Everyone thought he was a fucking genius, even a major US Network if I remember correctly, in giving him a prime time show.


Don't believe everything you see and or hear (we all know this in the entertainment business)

Jonny Wright was largely responsible for the business success of his groups anyway.

I guess the BSB suit against Perleman was valid afterall
