Today we are concluding our discussion of the Netflix top 10 docuseries, “Dirty Pop: the Boy Band Scam” (Dir. David Terry Fine). In this part two, we’re discussing the financial crimes side of pop mega-manager Lou Pearlman. From lopsided management contracts with Backstreet Boys and N* SYNC to aeronautics insurance fraud to making an enemy of a high-profile trial lawyer, we lay out the multivariate elements of Lou’s shell game, which amounted to the longest-running Ponzi scheme in American history. Prepare yourself for a tale encompassing the Good Year blimp, a former Nazi airman, a popular financial blogger, and the collective forces of the FBI descending on Bali. Docuseries features testimony from AJ McClean, Howie D, Chris Kirkpatrick, Eric Michael Estrada, Michael Johnson, and Patrick King. This is Lou Pearlman’s final act — so, let’s get into it!
