'nsync creator faces 130 years in prison

stup ...and no, it's not for subjecting our ears to such musical classics such as "bye, bye, bye," "i drive myself crazy," and "(god must have spent) a little more time on you." while those would be worthy of at least a few years in the pokey, this lou pearlman fellow (apparently also responsible for those backstreet boys) is in trouble for other reasons:

Former boy-band impresario Lou Pearlman, known for launching 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys, refused on Wednesday to enter a plea to fraud charges in an alleged $100 million swindle.

Pearlman, who left the United States in January ahead of the federal charges and was caught in Indonesia using the alias A. Incognito Johnson, was ordered held without bond pending a future hearing.

"In order to not waive any jurisdictional issues that may arise, I will stand mute, Mr. Pearlman will stand mute as to the indictment," his lawyer, Fletcher Peacock, told Judge Donald Dietrich during an arraignment in US District Court in Orlando.

now if only he could have gotten his bands to stand mute as well.
