"One of the radio stations asked us about this, and Brian and I started singing Justin [Timberlake]'s 'What Goes Around ... Comes Around.' I mean, you can't run from these things forever. You know if you're doing something bad from the very get, it's gonna come back around and bite you in the ass. There's no way around it."
The person in question — indeed, a guy Backstreet would just as soon not be talking about in 2007 — is Lou Pearlman, the impresario once known as "Big Poppa," the man who helped turn Orlando, Florida, into the late-1990s capital of boy-band teen pop-dom, and a man who has seen better days. Not only is Pearlman presently sitting in an Orange County, Florida, jail awaiting trial on charges of bank and investment fraud, accused of bilking investors nationwide of millions of dollars through what amounted to a Ponzi scheme, he is also the subject of a damning article by Bryan Burrough in the November issue of Vanity Fair.
The VF piece not only exhaustively chronicles Pearlman's years of financial shenanigans and tall tales that landed him in his current hot water, it also alleges that Pearlman was a habitual sexual predator — harassing, abusing or worse — the teenage boys in his charge.
McLean continued, "I mean we thankfully got out of that whole situation when we did, and you know we don't wish bad upon anybody, but karma's karma."

Excerpt:
Marshall Dyllon was an American country music group formed in 2000, comprising vocalists Daniel Cahoon, Jesse Littleton, Michael Martin, Paul Martin, and Todd Michael Sansom. These five members were recruited by country music artist Kenny Rogers and talent manager Lou Pearlman, in an attempt to bring the boy band sound to the country music scene.
Excluding Kenny Rogers himself, Marshall Dyllon was the first act to be signed to Dreamcatcher Records, an independent label which Rogers owned. The group's singular album, Enjoy the Ride, was released that year. It accounted for the chart singles "Live It Up" and "You". The band released a third single, "She Ain't Gonna Cry", in 2001 before disbanding.

Excerpt:
The boy's name was Lou Pearlman, and he got his ride. That he eventually came to own the Metropolitan Life, Sea World and Budweiser blimps was no surprise to those who knew him back then. Pearlman has always loved blimps. More important, he has always had what, in the old neighborhood, is called chutzpah.
