The suit cited, among many alleged legal wrongdoings, breach of contract.
'NSYNC struck back shortly thereafter, filing a countersuit against Pearlman and his three Trans Continental business holdings citing fraud, breach of contract, and Pearlman's breach of fiduciary duty while he was the group's manager.
