An assistant at JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE’s record company has been busted for selling $20,000 worth of the star’s stolen CDs on auction website eBay.

An executive assistant at Jive Records was selling the highly anticipated FUTURESEX/LOVESOUNDS CD before its release date by having interns at Jive send the discs from the company’s mailroom.

A source tells the New York Daily News, “He was selling pre-release Justin Timberlake albums for $50 a pop. And he was using the Jive mailroom to send them out.”

The employee’s lucrative side-business was stopped after disgruntled interns objected to participating in the mass mailings and reported him to the company president.

The source adds, “They sent an e-mail to Jive president BARRY WEISS from an anonymous e-mail account (with the email screen name InternsArePeopleToo), and copied every vice president to tell them they were ‘fired up’.”

The assistant has now been sacked.
