Is the BSO a friggen joke. "Benjamin is not under investgation as far as we know." You are the investigators for friggen sake. DO YOUR JOB!

does anyone else see the nonsense in this. the bso needs to answer these questions.
1. why didn't scott use his normal bodyguards. were they in fact unavailable.
2. Did benjamin meet scott at the airport and not at his house as claimed.
3. If scott was already at the airport why didn't benjamin call an on duty deputy to escort scott inside the airport.
4 did benjamin waive off any deputies that approached him and scott as he took scott to the plane.
5 How many bags did scott load on the plane?
6 did benjamin think it was odd that scott was taking so much luggage on a business trip?
7. How much did scott take out of the country and how much did he bring back.
8. Was benjamin paid anythinng for driving from his house to the airport and helping to load the plane?
9 did benjamin know what was in the bags.

Don't you have any detectives in the bso? how ignorant and stupid is the statement we don't know if he is being investigated. Isn't there at least one honest cop left? the BSO is now the SOB!! The fdle needs to take over. this is pathetic.

Yikes. Crist oughta be arrested for that OUTFIT!

Crist obviously didnt read the invitation.
It was a White Party not an Andy Williams Christmas Special lookalike night.

Charley Varrick (last of the independents)

Just to be clear on Leljedal quote about investigation, he said Benjamin wasn't under investigation by BSO. Period. I mentioned the feds and he added "as far as we know." I'm going to clarify the post to reflect that.

That photo is priceless...de plane...de plane...do wonder when SR's name is coming off the synagogue on Broward...

Love the tight shots of Kimmie feeling her... silicon. Guess that all she will be touching for a while although SR probably has some vultures waiting in the wings.

How great of a reality show would Ruth Madoff, Kim Rothstein, and Drier's wife all in one house be?

I seems obvious that ALL of these crooks are involved in the murder of RRA's associate, Melissa Britt Lewis.
Rothstein put up the reward money $250,000 . Then never paid it.
Prosecuting attorney then works for Rothstein.
Debra Villegas gets a car and house after Melissa Lewis dies.
Debra Villegas handles Rothstein's accounts. Melissa is Debra's bestfriend. Microphomes all over Rothstein's office.
what did Rothstein heard Melissa say? Plantation Police Department and Rothstein?

"the comments, which have gotten both more vulgar and more informative these past couple weeks"

:lol: That's fucking funny.

I really enjoy reading these comments. The ones where you can tell the scumbags in this drama, for some psychotic reasoning, are trying to defend the indefensible, are pure comedy gold.

I remember Rothstein posting on the Slantinel comments section back when it was on topix.net after a story on him. He was using his name and bitching like a little girl about others not using theirs, and reminding everyone what a success story he was, and everyone who didn't adore him was a jealous loser. Nice.

So Ted Morse is so stupid he doesn't have a BS email address that can't be easily tied back to him? Stellar.

It seems we would be better off just disbanding BSO immediately. The organization is totally corrupt from top to bottom. The state government isn't far behind on that.

Thanks again for the entertainment, fuckers. :)

I love the jew on jew financial crime of late. Now you guys can look at each other in fear when it comes to $ the same way us goyim look at you.

OY!

what part of freakin WHITE PARTY confused Crist?

it looks like he got there-realized he screwed up- and wrapped a hand towel around his neck. i guess he gets a pass with that lid.

RRA/Option 3- you know the proverbial shit has hit the fan when you are an option on the FBI tip line.

Regards the FBI upping the fraud total and appealing for volunteer information.

How often is that done in financial fraud? Does this imply they have lost forensic data.

How does a 1 BYN ponzi work. The intake in August was for 1 to 3 MYN plays per testimony of whistleblowers. Assuming the pool was 500 MYN at 5% cash out/month-- they would of needed 10 to 20 new marks per month just to keep the ball rolling. Still at a mean 5MYN investment we are talking 200 marks. Is that realistic?

Most ponzi's have some investment -- the operator thinks they have sure bet that will pay off and get them clear. What had Scott been sold as a sure bet and by whom? Was this a Casino deal (as per the Stone/Rothstein rupture with Trump) or something else?

Madoff's ponzi was stable because he had higher than normal reinvestment in his scheme. That's likely not true of Rothstein where money likely had to paid out in high proportion to the supposed gains. He did have an advantage because legal settlements have inexplicable delays and are illiquid.

So the unlikely mathematics of the Rothstein ponzi as it has been presented makes a different game likely -- big cash laundry for overseas friends of Rothstein seems plausible. Those have a net cost, meaning rakeoff and spending are expected.

gotta hop aboard the pic-snarking express:

kimmie's crazy eye in the pic w/ her momma scares me.... aaaand, i apologize in advance for the girl on girl crime i am abt to commit as i've had a lil nip-tuck done myself --- howevah puhleeze do not tell me that she paid to have that witches chin installed.

that is all.

I am her closest friend and she had nothing to do with this scheme. She will be returning all of the bling and the $6 million Scott gave her before he went to Casablanca. You can rag on SR but leave Kim out of this mess. He told her he was wealthy, not her fault, and he didn't pay for the silicone, her friend did.

BTW: witches chins are in, ever been to Rio?

Kosher slaughter in Iowa said GUILTY today to fraud - any connection? http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jMfmue_HkGVs_xOxsMilUlThrH4wD9BUALK80

..she said with a sigh....

Focus on the ones claiming to be, or being made to look, dumb....and it starts with SR "I made a really really bad mistake..."

Rosenstatic
Morse code
Von Allman Brothers
..and the others who will claim the same if/when they have to go on the record...the dumb card is all you have if you're too close to the party.

be skeptical of the obvious...

The Feds are getting into that ass more than a little bit people. The shit not even funny anymore. Today, those boys had a press conference and just basically put it out there that they could not give a fuck who goes where and that they would snatch your ass in a minute if you thought you were going somewhere.

Waking your asses up in the morning and putting your asses to sleep at night without you all even knowing about it. Thinking you can slink out without being followed. Fools.

Silly Fort Lauderdale bitches thinking you can keep everything under wraps because you paid everyone off in sleepyville.

Wrong.

Yes, Benjamin was relieved of his Internal Affairs assignment per say, but remains as the Executive to the SHERIFF. DO NOT KID YOURSELVES! Benjamin Wheeler and Rothstein had their way with the Sheriff's office. Rothstein clearly had the keys to the Public Safety Building and Benjamin & Wheeler thrived in his company. The Sheriff had to have known and or should have known. Rothstein gave them the JUICE that they currently are drowning in and festered the hatred that exists within the agency towards them and the Sheriff. Benjamin clearly needs to be investigated and is more than likely a target of the FBI investigation. Benjamin is a PUKE and a disgrace to the agency. Benjamin is very influential with the SID Administration, that is further cause for alarm due to the sensitive investigations conducted through that division and his ability to run interference via loyalists. Benjamin your days are numbered and your JUICE IS GONE!

For a conservative right-wing gay guy, Charlie didn't get the clothing part right. White blue and olive green, yuk!

agree the antisemitic stupidity is bringing down an entertaining, informative conversation. Many people appear to have some good stuff to offer. Wish Pulp would delete those that are just screwing around.

Pulp can you please ban Goldilocks' ip for a few days? She is a trash talking witch.

Bob you are doing a great job. Keep it going the facts will reveal the truth and corruption that lurks within BSO.

Bob Norman

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Pulp puts a sharper point on it, but corruption is an equal opportunity employer.

Goldilocks, a measure of sarcasm is more honorable than just deleting the B.S. which I would have done long ago, but it's not permeating.

Dr. Augusta, I sense an admiring tease for Pulp, the playful sigh and the allusion to the King of Babylon.

You are the King, Bob, but don't overwork yourself.

For as Hugh Latimer said as he and Nicholas Ridley were being prepared to be burned at the stake, "Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle. By God's grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out."

Answer to Cut the Cheese; Lt.David Benjamin, Executive Officer and right hand man to Sheriff Al Lamberti did know what what was going on. After Benjamin walked Rothstein past U.S. Customs with all that loot, Benjamin called Grant Smith of RRA and wondered why Rothstein was leaving the country with all that money. Just check the cell phone records it's all there. You think that Benjamins and Rothsteins incorparation of DWB Consulting LLC was just becuase Benjamin wanted a LLC to look like a big shot. "What the hell is going on here"? Check the money that went to the corp and check Benjamins bank account. Check Benjamins past when he was with Pompano PD, very interesting.
BSO has a policy about outside employement. Was Benjamin approved for this outside employment? What was Lambert's involvement?
Lamberti is a disgrace, just look back to the young female deouty that he was having a relationship with when he was the commander in Deerfield. Number one rule don' date the employees under your command.Lamberti was having an affair with a Deerfield Beach Commissioner also. Lamberti is a no good GINNIE that talks a good game. I didn't vote for that son of a bitch.

Let me ask you one question. Are you people stupid? The feds don't let a guy like this just walk around town smoking cigars and drinking martinis after he ripped over a billion. The feds could of easily filed an information charging that fat ass slob with a few counts and could of had him pre-trialed detained in the lock-up.
This would of been an easy procedure and no brainer. The quote that he can run but can't hide is BS. The U.S. could never have brought him back from Casablanca.
Scotty is giving them something so good that the Fed's can't resist giving him what he want's at this point. Scotty was not into the local political scene so I think he is going to give the Fed's Charlie Christ or some others. Scotty walking free does not add up. What ever he has the Fed's want. Just stand by and watch.
I'm sure Bob Norman will break it as he is the only one that does.

Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player

There has been talk about the Cheetah strip club and the two Alcohol, Tabacco agents including the ABT lawyer going to work for Rothstein. Those agents and lawyers were the ones that made the case on the Chettah. Now all of a sudden they quite and go to work for Rothstein. Rothstein is representing Joe Rodriquez owner of Cheetah.

OK:
Chettah is under investigation and going to lose their license

The two agents from ABT and the lawyer from ABT prosecuting the case for the state quit and go to work for RRA

RRA represents the Cheetah

No conflict ? Smells like shit

But wait Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti's right hand man is Undersheriff Wheeler.

Where did Wheeler use to work?
Answer: For the stae ABT. Wheeler couldn't even pass the Sergeants test after three attempts.
Wheeler goes from a nothing ABT agent to the Undersheriff of Broward County. Wheeler also went to college with Gov.Crist.

Lets connect the dots. Two agents and lawyer their boss is Crist go to work for Rothstein friend of Crist and Lamberti.

Wheeler college roomate of Crist and friend of Rothstein. (remember previous article where it stated that Wheeler and Benjamin went to Rothsteins house to get his help to elect Lamberti).
Wheeler becomes undersheriff with no expierence. Rothstein and Crist give Lamberti the marching orders.
Crist
Rothstein
Lamberti
ABT agents
ABT lawyer
Undersheriff Wheeler
This stinks but i"m sure the Federal Grand Jury will figure it out.

Lamberti resign from office you owe it to the people of Broward County.

Dont shoot me I'm only the piano player

Waiting for the Rothstein/Steinger connection. Come on Bob, don't disappoint!

Has anyone looked into the no-bid contract the BSO awarded for health insurance to EDIFY, the company that SR owns a big chunk of?? One more dot to connect...

This country has gone to shit. The idea that Rothstien is still walking the streets after the destruction that he has caused is rediculous. They put black guys in jail for stealing 300 bikes and this guy who stole 10's of millions is smoking cigars at the capital Grill
Completely absurd

Here's the kicker. I understand the powers that be seeking the death penalty for the kid alleged to have put the cats to sleep even after an exhaustive 24 hr surveillance failed to provide any evidence.

http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE55D1AY20090614

"I sincerely hope that with this arrest, the residents will feel relieved and their cats will be safe once again," Miami-Dade County State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said. "It is expected that the vicious crimes that have plagued these communities will not be repeated."

@Silent Bob: SR and Rosenfeldt were the only equity partners (i.e., true shareholders) in RRA. Adler and the others were non-equity partners -- essentially salaried employees. That doesn't meant some of them didn't know or couldn't have known anything, of course.

On an unrelated note, did Crist fly into the White Party directly from a third-rate ski resort in Idaho, where a Polo sweater and a white turtleneck would be considered fashion forward?

hey lil mikey, you will get a pension of 175k for life based on the taxes we paid. why won't you talk to us????????why do you have to spend more of OUR money for a spokesman????? are you not an atty??????? were you not trained to speak in an open arena????? is not that what you have run your elections on, being an atty, oh yea thats right, you only open your lil boy mouth when you have a killer going to the chair. but when you have your arms around a con man, you have ishoy issue BS statements. and as you get ready to go ski at the polkolodi in snowmass, our tax dollars to keep you from answwering our questions continue to be wasted.hey mike, seriousy, how big were those shrimp at all the parties of the crooks you did not prosecute?????? b/c , all the others you and your lying hench people did hurt, there was very little shrimp.matter fact, sometimes, there was no food at all, esp for the kids of the families you and your lying asa's ruined.guilty is guilty!!!!!! bad folks need to be taken off the street, but you only beat on the downtrodden.meanwhile, how big were the shrimp????oh yea, why did benjamin not arrest the swindler????? fire ishoy, talk about your poor performance and then get out of dodge and ski. this town should not waste 1 more cent on a crooked politician. like you, who went to parties w/ a crook who hired former sherrifs that went to prison and judges that said they were in charge, the electorate said bye, bye, and could not figur out the guy in the corner office was whipping our county out of a billion dollars.sharpen your edges, the snow is great, and learn how to tip if you ever want to get a good table in aspen

When is the Sheriff (Lamberti) returning his share (contributions) of the stolen loot?!

Yep the FEDS definitely need to look into the CHABAD... I remember when I used to drive by there and it was like an exotic car store. Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls, and of course little Scotty's Bugatti. The whole picture was just wrong.

It appears someone is impersonating the piano player. His posts are suddenly uncharacteristically rife with typographical/grammatical errors. Maybe he's just tired. Good info, though.

Has anybody wondered if undercover FBI informant Shelia Alu (of SBBC board member corruption scandal fame) recruited her ex-husband to spy on Rothstein for the feds?

Don't shot me I'm only the Piano Player: your dots to do connect the way you think. The former ATB agents are now screwed becuse they left the state and lost their job.

Wheeler worked for ATB out of college graduated from the FBI academy in Quanico,Va,and worked his way up in the agencfy with leadership positions in Miami, Lauderdale, St. Pete and Tallhassee. Has not been with ATB for over ten. All this, way before Crist became part of the political scene. not exately an unqualified person for the job he has now.

Is a just a coincidence that Benjamin opened up a consulting firm with the same corporate address as Rothstein, or was Benjamin funneling Rothstein money back to Crist thru Wheeler? Will everyone that Benjamin brought into the scheme step forward, or will they be afraid of the consequences. After all, they were sucked into the scheme by being told they would avoid income taxes on their earnings as there would be no record of payments to the investors sent to the IRS. Many Benjamin associates are out BIG MONEY. Benjamin has been telling people that he was going to be the next Sheriff. I wonder if that is still going to happen? You would think that the BSO would have learned their lesson about David Benjamin in 1993. While a Pompano Beach Detective, Benjamin was suspected of tipping off his long time friend Dep. Gary Yule of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and BSO for armed home invasions committed by Yule and associates. Yule evaded arrest but Benjamin was almost indicted. I wonder just how much Benjamin will squeal this time to avoid prison. Time will tell. After all, the Gov. is a big card to play
