Jews at Center of Another Huge Fraud

YIds just can't stop from stealing everything that's not nailed down.


Feds seize computers, cash at Fla. lawyer's office

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Federal agents seized computers, bank and
investment records, cash and even the key to a Ferrari during an all-
night search at the office of an attorney suspected of operating a
massive fraud scheme.

The firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, released a 10-page list of items
taken by FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents who completed their
search at 5 a.m. Thursday at the Fort Lauderdale office. More than 40
boxes of records were seized.

The investigation focuses on attorney Scott Rothstein, who is
suspected of misappropriating millions of dollars through investments
in legal settlements that may have been faked.

No charges have been filed, although Rothstein has met at length with
investigators since returning from Morocco on Tuesday. Rothstein's
attorney, Marc Nurik, would not confirm reports that Rothstein is
cooperating in the probe or has admitted any wrongdoing.

Rothstein, 47, a flashy attorney who has raised millions of dollars
for charities and politicians, has made no public statement since the
fraud allegations surfaced earlier this week. The state Democratic and
Republican parties are both returning tens of thousands of dollars in
Rothstein's donations, and Gov. Charlie Crist is giving back $9,600
from his U.S. Senate campaign.

A spokesman for the law firm, Charles Jones, said the firm cooperated
fully with the search and had reopened for business Thursday morning.
Rothstein was removed as chief executive officer by a judge who also
appointed a receiver to unravel its finances. Attorneys for investors
say more than $100 million may be lost.

Attorney William Scherer, who represents a dozen investors out some
$80 million, said lawsuits are in the works against banks, insurance
policies and Rothstein's assets. He also plans to file lawsuits
seeking the return of charitable and political contributions.

"This is an amazing situation," Scherer said. "It was apparent to
people in the legal community that the law firm couldn't generate the
kind of money he was spending, that it had to be from outside
investments. I think the money is all gone."
