Former 'N Sync member Lance Bass stops by the 3rd hour of TODAY to talk about “The Boy Band Con: the Lou Pearlman Story,” a new documentary about the troubled man behind the popular 1990s boy bands. Bass produced and appears in the doc.
Netflix’s limited docuseries “Dirty Pop,” which debuted Wednesday, chronicles how Lou Pearlman, the man who put together the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, also put together one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in history.
” And this was how the boy bands unwittingly became part of Pearlman’s game — he created the longest running Ponzi scheme in American history, which, according to the documentary, spanned more than 30 years. The bands’ success helped Pearlman create an image of himself as a music mogul, when, in fact, the opposite was true. He had reportedly struck a bad business deal with record label BMG in a moment of desperation, to get them to sign Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync.
