Lou Pearlman
The Backstreet Boys’ relationship with their old manager Lou Pearlman is a tainted one. It came to light that Pearlman was behind one of the biggest Ponzi schemes around when he was arrested by the authorities. He siphoned off money he earned through his bands and left them with nothing. It is believed Pearlman caused more personal harm to the Backstreet Boys, however the boys don’t speak much about it.
