UGH! Why did I go to work today???

It was a mad house in here. http://www.wesh.com/news/16348954/detail.html?treets=orl&tml=orl_break&ts=T&tmi=orl_break_1_08570205212008

I had no idea people all over the country cared so much about this?

 

[LegacyGirl]

Well I guess no one here cares

For the amount of news people they had today you would have thought the whole world was waiting to find out about what happened to this smuck Lou Pearlman

 

[strmrdr]

sorry to hear your having a rough day.
I dont know nor care who that guy is however so I guess its not everyone.

This is like the thing to talk about in Orlando. Lou Pearlman is the Backstreet Boy/ NSYNC founder manager guy who stole something like $200 million from investors.

And thanks, the day is much better now that I''m out of court.

Something like this just makes me wonder about the greediness of people. He had to have made millions off those groups, but then to steal 200 million more from investors. Why? Trying to outpace Bill Gates in wealth? I just feel bad for the people that invested.

Sorry, I''m late to "the party", but I''ve heard and seen interviews with him and am definitely surprised by this news!

Sorry you had to be in court today for this; that would ruin anyone''s day for sure!

Just out of curiosity, how are you connected to Pearlman and the case?

Nope but I did get to see him in jail.

I agree. I was disgusted by the whole thing. I still am. I think the man ate most of the money though. He''s the size of Texas

 

[diamondfan]

Yeah, when is enough enough? If he earned it fine, but stealing it is vile.

 

[LegacyGirl]

He''s a vile human being. You should have seen the look on the judges face when he asked if his sentencing trial could be pushed back because he was in the middle of trying to bring another boy band to the US.... FROM JAIL

When Nsync was first gaining popularity in the U.S. there were huge legal battles because he was keeping something like 50% of their earnings when contracts said he could keep 1/6.

So it''s not shocking something like this happened.
