Backstreet Boys. NSYNC. Lou Pearlman created the biggest boy bands of the '90s — and one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history.
Lou Pearlman assembles the Backstreet Boys and their competitors, NSYNC. But after racking up gold records, the men are stunned by their paltry paydays.
After a lawsuit, Lou launches a reality TV show to find the next big music act. As employees question Lou's cash source, the FBI takes interest.
Amid a too-good-to-be-true savings plan, bad checks, forgeries and dubious financial statements, investors seek justice — while Lou travels the globe.
