i assumed this was another pop punk pedo before i read it

kind of a dumb scam though, they'd have to know they'd get caught eventually right? should have quit while they were ahead

i do find it funny though how scammers like him face huge jail sentences and than dodgy bankers and corporations can do a lot more and get off basically scot-free, guess his mistake was not saving enough for a bribe

lol

His mistake was not being a bank

As far as the secret criminal lives of musicians go, this is a pretty fun one

ayyy a pop punk member in deep legal shit for something that wasn’t child porn/sexual harassment

oh thank god i thought he was fuckin kids or some shit like all the others

i agree with everyone, thank god it was not rape [2]

Maybe those 27 millions belonged to kids, how do you know

Lol at the anti-establishment comments on here. He "cheated approximately 100,000 people out of $27 million between 2009 and 2016." No bank or company asks money for a non-existent service/product. They masqueraded as a legitimate business and simply fucked over almost a 100 thousand people all over the US. Of course they go to jail for a looong time.

Wow, a musician committing an actual white-collar crime with real consequences it the people it affected and getting in deep ship over it. This is certainly interesting.

I mean, I'm a CJ major and white-collar crimes aren't prosecuted as often as other crimes, so this is a real surprise and an interesting one at that.

Fucking lmao

He did it to pay for the royalties of covering Boys Of Summer bro that shit wasn't cheap

Why doesn't someone named a band "Masochrist"

Like masochist, but someone's savior, aka a torture victim who is their karma saviour

“In This Diary” was our senior prom song and that’s stupid.

Maybe he's not capable of love

Wow, dudes going to jail.... (that's more than you had on Capone....)

lets face it, he probably touched a kid too

meh i don't care, this is nothing compared to what jesse lacey did

“No bank or company asks money for a non-existent service/product.”

lol yeah like that’s never happened retard

“They masqueraded as a legitimate business and simply fucked over almost a 100 thousand people all over the US. Of course they go to jail for a looong time.“

Man no company ever has done anything close to that

yeah? name one that hasnt

I was being sarcastic

"He did it to pay for the royalties of covering Boys Of Summer bro that shit wasn't cheap"

Not sure how much that costed, but Codeseven did the same thing on their first album and guaranteed they couldn't afford a steep cost on that.

So my theory is still a possibility?

Damn the 2 Tylers are going at it

Thank god it wasn't rape [35]

I see you pop punk, branching out from diddling kids

"Maybe those 27 millions belonged to kids, how do you know"

One of my favorite comments on this site.

Don't think I can listen to this band anymore, I mean like I still listen to Brand New and Lostprophets, and still watch Woody Allen movies and Kevin Spacey Movies, but I draw the line at Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud, the lowest of the low, that guy in court today Larry Nassar described as satan, nothing compared to this, truly despicable and anyone who listens to the Ataris should be ashamed, and people will say the band might not have known this would go on in the future, that he wouldln't do such a thing, I say once a bad egg, always a bad egg, and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, I must say I'm speechless about the whole thing.

Wow, MuhNamesTyler, slow down with all the examples you're giving of such companies.

didnt he make enough off covering boys of summer
