Boy band creator Pearlman sentenced to 25 years' prison
Lou Pearlman, the man made famous for creating 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.
Music Mogul Lou Pearlman has asked to delay his sentencing for an elaborate fraud scheme so he can promote a new band.
