INTERVIEW: Tyler Gray, Expert on Lou Pearlman's Fraud Empire

About this episode

Nicole Lapin sits down with Tyler Gray, investigative journalist and author of "The Hit Charade," who uncovered the explosive truth behind music mogul Lou Pearlman. Pearlman created some of the biggest boy bands in history, including the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC, and seemed like he could do no wrong. But behind the chart-topping hits and worldwide tours, Lou spun a dangerous web of fraud, betrayal, and financial deceit. Tyler reveals how Pearlman’s dark empire eventually collapsed, devastating the pop stars and investors who trusted him most.
