Boy Band Guru Gets 25 Years in Prison. In Federal Cases a Queen Criminal Lawyer can be invaluable.

The person who is generally credited with the creation of two of the major “Boy Bands” in the music business has been sentenced to 25 years in prison on four federal charges.

But his sentence could be reduced significantly if Pearlman can make restitution. The judge made the offer to reduce the time Lou Pearlman would have to serve. For every million he pays back, his sentence would be reduced by a month. Investors who were cheated were ecstatic by this unusual ruling by the bench.

Pearlman pleaded guilty in March to two counts of conspiracy. He laundered money and used false statements to defend a bankruptcy proceeding. He is most famous for creating The Back Street Boys and In Sync that sold millions of records. He is accused of stealing millions from investors over the years. Prosecutors promised to procede aggressively against the impressario.
