Lou's original boy band
The group Flyer was Lou's original boy band. In this fascinating video (give it some time to load), band members talk about their early days when Lou Pearlman was their manager. When they couldn't get a contract with Columbia Records, Lou promised them "I'll back you with my company." That never happened. "We thought if anybody could make it happen, Lou could make it happen with his connections," one band member said. They said when they saw Backstreet and 'NSync perform, their thought was "that could have been us."
St. Petersburg Times personal finance editor Helen Huntley writes about money topics and answers questions about financial planning, investments and personal income taxes.
I don't get why Pearlman has not been charged for his EISA crime. Do they think the victims will just go away? Could someone out there tell me why?

I agree with the last post... This is turning into near-glorification of the 'fascinating past' of LJP.
The guy screwed hundreds of people, including so-called friends and FAMILY.
He lied repeatedly to so-called friends and FAMILY for only ONE reason: Get their money.
Let's not forget that.
