The Women of RRA
One of Rothstein's former lawyers told me that in the early days of the firm, Rothstein slept with every female attorney in the place. There were just a handful at the time, and he didn't keep that streak alive, so please don't think I'm trying to imply anything about the women pictured above.
But during one holiday party (it was either 2005 or 2006) at the Cafe Iguana, Rothstein stunned everyone during a pep speech by including a story about how he had been having an affair with a very pretty young lawyer in the firm (this is pre-marriage to Kimmie, of course). He apparently did it to address rampant rumors about the relationship, but I'm told Les Stracher, who had recently joined the firm, was so shocked that he paid a visit later to Rothstein's office and almost quit.
This is odd behavior from someone who claimed to have made a living by legally extorting cheating bosses.

Yippieee 1st!!
Hey Nurik this isn't Disney.
The cutest one of the bunch is the blonde in the middle right of the pic.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 11:49AMwhat?? no names... Funny to think they made the women go Gangsta!
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 11:51AMTalk about Sexual Harassment within his own Firm by the Jewish Pig Avenger himself.
He should have been reported to the bar then.
Anyone that actually sat thru him saying that should have quit right on the spot.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 11:52AMThere are a few good looking attorneys there, let me hit that...
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:00PMI do not believe a word of this, he was just puffing. Other than the obvious women implicated, I suggest this Blog piece is just filler. Not necessary or germane.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:03PMWonder if Rottie Scottie tried to hit up anyone in Dubai....They own more than $80-$90 Billion...this is amazing....
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:05PMCont'd from previous Blog re Rothstein Wires -
I believe that what I said many posts ago is true - to wit - (sorry for this rant)
1) I see no reason why someone would do this type of crime knowing you will be caught.
2) I think there is the possibility that SR was tied to the mob at some point for example: major gambling (or other) debt and they decided to "but him out..." (this is a form of a bust out, most end up in bankr.) Since most people here know the word "vig" then you know what a 'bust out' is. The mob could be any mob faction of any ethnic background; or a combination working together to "milk the deal..."
This way he could repay his debts or whatever else they had on him (MB) and let him play his John Gotti games as long as they were paid. If this is the case, or part of the core, the money is long gone - remember my post about money drifting into NJ payday loan and other check cashing places. (that came from a well-connected source).
If his payments + juice (I am sure this audience knows this term also) were not timely there could be immediate problems (a la security)
The Frumm community in Brooklyn is now also very unhappy and would like to take action. Invested: 125,000,000
I further believe (option) that he was given certain assurances and safeguards as to what would happen to him, as in: "Scott, relax, we know what we are doing..."
Be realistic, who could create and sustain such a scam over the long haul? Why would this suddenly shift to crime? Did he start the scheme and MB became a problem? Did he have to solicit help with that problem only to find that the "help" was now a partner? I have known many white collar criminals who ripped off many people but they did not carry a gun or have major security. Conversely, I have known white collar schemers that did carry a gun because they could not maintain enough inbound cash to keep up with the principal and the juice. I was raised in the garment and advertising industry in NYC and have seen this many times in smaller ways. I remember when I was a kid and my Dad went on those (mob) gambling junkets and if he lost he told me "when I get back to NY I have to have a check (or cash) ready in two days." I said and what if you don't? Response: "I get a 'visit' and 24 hours or, they will make a plan for me. (fortunately this never happened)
3. Almost every one of the main or secondary players has been tied to a criminal or close-to-criminal past. Everybody else is expendable.
4. As for the greedy investors; anything I say would be repetitive of what we all know and already think.
I applaud Levin for trying to act innocent and as a normal, every-day investor. Won't work.
Unfortunately, we live in a world that lives by the phrase: "for money you get honey" and no matter who you are in society this always holds true.
I would love to see the money-map developing by the Feds. Like I said before this post, this is an important case and win for the new Fin Fraud Task Force.
I get it in the pic they are trying to make the women look tough. But come on, is that what our society is coming to? Please women be yourselves! Its ok to smile. Remember you get more bees with honey.
And in the case of SR you get more Ho's with money but I digress.
And the line of this whole damn saga
"Money never sleeps mother fucker"
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:08PMIf I were one of those women NOW..I would be mortified to have been associated with the firm. I pity the ones that actually were there between 2005 and when the fraud hit the fan....
Who in Gods name would want to have the fact they were associated with RRA?
You spend all that time in law school only to be fucked by the Firm owners themselves.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:09PMTorts funny how we are on the same honey/money mindset this AM.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:12PM@Godfather3
It was just a tongue n cheek potrait of the girls mocking the RRA gangsta ad that was plastered all over town and first page of the Las Olas Lifestyle Magazine that made you want to urinate on it, every time you looked at it.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:14PMFYI:
The movie, Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps is coming out in April, 2010.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:17PMThere was RAMPANT sexual harrasment at RRA but it wasn't coming from SR unless for show...from what I heard/saw he wasn't that interested in anyone other than CC. Just ask Kimmie. You should have ehard what he said would happen to anyone who even HINTED at a sexual harrassment suit against RRA. Just sayin.

Ex Judge Bill Berger in a blog article posted here a week or so ago, he said Rottie Scottie should be shot like a rabid dog. That he was a financial rapist.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:22PMI didnt realize it was satirical, I know a couple of people at former RRA. But I purposely stay out of the "in" crowd. Something I remember about dogs and fleas.
Only occassionally will I go to Maguires.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:23PM@ Godfather3
You are a reg bloggie here. That satirical aspect of the potrait of the female attorneys was posted/mentioned here on the blog a week or so ago.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:27PMAbrams and Berger almost NEVER saw SR.
WHile they were on Las Olas their offices were on the 12th floor in the Kip Hunter Suite because it was taking SO long to build out the North office.
They were always doin their own thing as most of the lawyers at RRA.
Unfortunately the other lawyers may be inplicated in a masive amount of crap because SR MADE them do a lot of legal work by order (ususally comped for one of his friends).
I read on another blog that Arthur Neiwurth is oon the radar...Poor Arther.
He was SO hard working and pretty much HATED so many of the tools at RRA.
He worked longer/later/harder than most attorneys there. He is definately not a bad guy.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:28PM1. What law firm would immediately pick-up RRA attorneys knowing there could be future problems, as in implication (despite interview assurances of "I had nothing to do with it"
Q: would you hire an atty from RRA that fast? (unless the atty promises instant, major hip-pocket business). But there has been a downturn in law firms so....
2. I also feel sorry for anybody who worked at RRA that is innocent and now tainted.
3. @Godfather; LOL : you're right. funny.
4. The photo of the "girls" was meant to replicate similar photos of law firms and if you read 'Inside Counsel' that is a common pose. Except they don't use gangster stances.
** Also I notice they all wear black. So not in anymore. But has that lawyer look I guess.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:30PMI too am an addict and powerless over my addiction. However, I must've missed it.
I swear I thought my family was going to kill me yesterday when about every 30 mins or so I had my BB out checking for updates... This better be done by Christmas or I'll definately be put out on the street like SR
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:31PM@Godfather3
Turn your wife onto the blog. Bring her into the fold of Pulp addiction.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:34PMThey are all getting jobs be because the legal profession is one giant fraternity. They all went to Nova together or otherwise know each other.
The fact is when dealing lawyers the only thing that matters is what can be proved not what actually happened. Then they dont care until it is proved in court and all appeals exhausted.
Im not blasting attornies just observations I have made.
There are some exceptions.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:38PMWe cant have both of us glued to computing devices... the whole house will fall apart. Ok so I know that sounded chauvinistic, but realistically the house would do just fine without me... without her on the otherhand...chaos.
And yes I do let her know that too.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:44PMThe IRS only wants to go after minorities and celebrities. IRS agents have had detailed paperwork of a Fort Lauderdale white retired businessman that scammed the IRS out of $20 million dollars in false deductions, They have sworn statements for three years but they won't go after him. Because he's not Wesley Snipes, Juan Montoya or Nicholas Cage. If anyone thinks the IRS is going to work this hard I'm sorry they all say they are over worked. Even to over worked to collect millions in unpaid taxes from a multi-millionaire WTF
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:46PM@gofather3
That's sweet. My Father feels the same about my Mom. Sounds like you have a great set up.
I can imagine what is going on in the Rothstein homes these days. Oyyyyyyyyyy!
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:47PMBEFORE Kimmie? You are being kind on this Thanksgiving weekend.
I wish these 'too-easily impressed' girls would wake up...a smile, a drink and a flashy car just ain't worth turnin' a trick. Calling it like it is. Sorry to offend. Ooops, hookers get paid up front...my mistake.
Should learn from Kimmie - she saw the fool, called the deal, and made out... Now thats what I call, "working it"!
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:55PMThis whole group RRA, steinger iscoe and Green.etc. politicians, police etc. associated with them need to go. Just like in New Jersey.
Typical addict behavior. Me Me ME, all or nothing personality and lots of high drama.
They thought they were so well connected they had no laws but their own.
Mob wannabes. If I was Kerzner and some guy brought the feds to my opening, I'd have my guys at the airport ready to blow him away.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:56PMStracher should have quit then. Would have saved his reputation and career and his big client Morse a lot of grief and money. I also see that Stracher returned 5 watches to the Feds - did Scotty give him a new watch every year ? Now its just a short hop from collecting time to serving time.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:56PMSeriously, none of those ladies would warrant more that 10 dollars, short time, back home.
And even here, wow, not much more.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 12:56PM@ Linda the "good" CD lawyers left...
Bruce Udolph (Kinda)
Howard Greitzer
Bruce Lyons
Russell Williams (Kinda)
Jeremy Kroll & Mike Dutko (part of boganshutz firm)
Hilly Moldof & his partner Mike
On a reach I'd suggest
Eric Swartzreich (too frat boyish)
Al Milian (but just read he has Tony Villegas so probably will conflict him out but he is good)
Then the celebrity lawyer
Roy Black
Lets see if any of these names get brought up.
I know Ken Padowitz and Robert Buschel are good lawyers but they are exempted as they need representation as well.

Read the life story of Ofra Haza.
She was an Yemenite Jewish Beauty...amazing singer....I used to love her music back in the 80's....

More and more MARRIED women are being infected with HIV by their OWN husbands than ever before.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 1:10PMWhat does it say about the legal profession that the RRA lawyers were so highly rated by their peers according to the Martindale rankings (Methinks Wink should have stuck to Country and Western music)

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 1:24PMDon't degrade the Radio City Rockettes.
The brunette on the left center with that long face is well...
The blonde to the far right top corner needs a serious root touch up ....the chick looks like she needs a shower and didn't want to be in the picture.
The red head to the left with the long jacket needs serious conditioner in her mop....
The one to the right with her hands on her hips need never to wear a skirt above her fat knees...
As I said above the best looking one that is about a 7 is the blonde in the front right center.

Anyone?
Or should that remain unknown, as a courtesy?
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 1:36PMTo: Godfather3 @ 1:00PM.
I call bullshit. This is FEDERAL COURT with grown-ups that actually are going to have to file pleadings and motions.
This is not going in a talking and pleaing your client out.
Some of these people are going to have to have law firms and lawyers that can actually crank out a few high quality motions and argue them.
Some of those folks sign on to cases and never once sign a pleading. Go the courtouse and check it out or run pacer. Most of them are not even on pacer but since you are the "godfather" i guess you knew.
Same Broward retreads. Well guess what folks the feds from Mia-muh aren't playing the Broward County hokey poke and they are not putzing with Satz either.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 2:29PMFor those of you complaining about this latest story, I disagree. I think the main point established in this piece is the irony of someone who derived income from a scheme to shakedown CEO's, etc: for sexual harrassment, the precise behavior Scotty was engaged in.
It also addes to the character development, or lack thereof. Did this guy have any redeeming qualities? It can't always be about the numbers.
Now, I wait patiently for Disney Nurik to speak again. Everytime those Giant Chicklets in his mouth, aka his teeth, move up and down, something incredible rolls off his tongue.
Hey Numbnuts: How is life in that shabby shack on the Intracoastal Waterway? You know, the one with the bombed out kitchen?

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 3:04PMCome on guys. Let's not bash these women for their physicality. I cannot imagine ANYONE sleeping with Rothstein by choice. The fat, nasty, twitching schmuck. Let's face it, sleeping with him or not, they were all getting paid WAY too much to "work" in that place. No sympathy from me. Fortunately for them there is a plethora of corruption in South Florida, and finding another "position" where they will be over paid for being greedy and without moral code should be no problem.

This theory plays well for the delay in filing charges...their are much bigger fish than Scotty or Levin...
I noticed RRA's investments came in $100 million increments...not $50 - 100 Thousand like normal investments... that alone must ring someone's bells!!!
@ Virgil
I have to agree. Any redeeming quality SR had can be explained away as furtherence of his scheme. Give money to charities, look legit and get access to more $. Go to temple, just another hangout with your friend Ovi. Loyal friend, ask the Morse's about that. It just seems everything he did was selfserving. The only human thing I've seen so far is the email with Preve when he wanted to shut it down.

No - not a joke.
Frumm community invested $1.2M as explained to me by my NJ (Bergen County) neighbor who is in the 'bling' and wholesole gold business in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
(his wife told him - she is connected there) (her side of the family may have invested, I'm not sure and I will see him this evening.)
More, I checked the story with another (very religious) guy (not that that means anything) who also has direct ties to the Frumms and he said "yes" and he is a very direct, non-nonsense guy.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 3:49PMNo wonder why they allowed him to drown. The man had Parkinson's. Who allows their loved one to swim alone in a pool on a Sunday afternoon in Fla. He died around 1pm'sh. I remember when it was reported. I could not believe the police didn't investigate it further. Dated 10 days before his death? WTF!
This reminds me of Seth Tobias's wife allowing him to drown in the pool after she laced his Pasta Ala Vodka with ambien. She fucking remarcited the pool the next fucking day!!!!
Picower, who was 67, had a heart attack in his Palm Beach, Florida, swimming pool on Oct. 25 and drowned. In his will, dated 10 days before his death, Picower left $200 million in cash to his wife. He also left $25 million to his daughter, Gabrielle Picower, and about $15 million to 20 other people. The unspecified remainder is to go to charity

Scott Rothstein, now-accused Ponzi schemer extraordinaire, carted me around town in his Bentley Continental, stopping first at a local elementary school, where we met with Governor Charlie Crist, after he gave a short press conference.
Next, we ate lunch at Capital Grille, where Scott dined daily and had his own table. Afterwards, Scott reserved a bike at Eddie Trotta’s Thunder Cycles. Three years ago, Scott was on top of the world and wanted everyone to know it, including me, an eighteen-year-old intern....."

Federal prosecutors filed an amended forfeiture suit Friday against alleged Ponzi scheme operator Scott Rothstein, adding four multimillion dollar properties to their siezure list, including a Boca Raton home formerly owned by auto dealership magnate Ed Morse.
The Boca Raton home, bought by Morse in January for $9 million, is still listed in his name in property records, but prosecutors say in their suit that it was bought by a Rothstein company, JB Boca M Holdings LLC, in September for $7.2 million. A deed reflecting that sale has not been filed in Palm Beach County land records.
The amended suit also seeks to lay claim to three other multimillion dollar Rothstein properties -- two side by side homes on Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island bought for $5.6 million and a Manhattan condo bought for $6 million. Prosecutors also are seeking to seize two commercial properties in Boca Raton.
The earlier suit already sought several of Rothstein's Florida homes, sports cars and yachts. In all, prosecutors are seeking Rothstein's interests in 22 businesses and nearly 100 corporations.
The FBI alleges Rothstein began running a $1 billion Ponzi scheme in 2005 by selling investors stakes in legal settlements that did not exist. Rothstein was disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court on Wednesday, and his law firm is being disolved in bankruptcy court.
No criminal charges have been filed against Rothstein, but dozens of FBI and IRS agents are investigating.
Attorneys for Morse have alleged that Rothstein scammed the 88-year-old man out of $57 million earlier this year in part by forging federal court documents in a lawsuit Rothstein was handling for Morse against an interior decorator. Morse recovered some of that money, but his attorneys would not specify how much.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 6:32PMThe original Men of RRA picture was missing a few things, though they were clearly implied; ie. Tommy Guns, 45s ad cigars. The women of RRA is obviously missing a few things; ie. thongs, garders and fake boobs.
I am beginning to think Scott was working for the Feds the whole time. Early on, knowing that a attorney that practices employment law, or any law for that matter, will never become super wealthy. He was approached by some devious scammers ad he wet to the feds. They told him to infiltrate and SR, being the super hero he told us he was, put on the cape and went to work.
So, in actuality, SR IS the her hero. He saved us all.
Thank you.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 6:48PMTo all the guilt free souls out there, I trust Thanksgiving was an enjoyable family day. To the Insida.. please turn your caps lock off, there's a good boy.
To those reading who have been very naughty people ( you know who you are ) what is that noise ? Oh, it sounds like the clink clink of handcuffs off in the distance and definately getting closer.
Should make for really attractive looking jewellery, although I hear these particular trinkets are a little uncomfortable.
Nurik, thanks for making me laugh with your latest assinine spoutings. What a banana.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 6:52PMIn the midst of the worst auto recession probably in history....the Morse's buy over $20m worth of property in Boca in the last two years.
And that doesn't inlcude the old mans house in Le Lac (of $57m fame) that's worth another $5m
Something ain't right
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:04PMWhat about the rebuilding of the new Morse Bayview Cadillac dealership?????????????
http://www.bayviewcadillac.com/
Something ain`t right..........
If Scottie had only waited until Thanksgiving.....
A few of Hollywood's biggest stars spent Thanksgiving at a black tie Moroccan bash instead of eating turkey dinners.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Salma Hayek and more turned out at a party celebrating the reopening of the La Mamounia hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco on Thursday night.
Some, like Juliette Binoche and Orlando Bloom, aren't American so it was just another Thursday to them. But, in addition to Paltrow and Aniston, American actor Adrien Brody also chose an appearance paycheck over a family dinner.
IF YOU GO
HOTEL LA MAMOUNIA: Avenue Bab Jdid, Marrakech, Morocco; Mamounia.com or 011-212-524-388-600.
Rates range from about $776 (6,000 Moroccan Dirham) per night for an entry-level room; $841 (6,500 Dirham) for a standard room, up to $10,350 (80,000 Dirham) for a villa in the garden with a private swimming pool.
GETTING THERE: International airport of Marrakech is a10-minute drive away, with flights to Paris, London, and most European cities, as well as flights connecting via Casablanca to the U.S.
As Scotty so eloquently stated on television, "it's a real simple process.":
Northwest pilots overfly their airport by 150 miles=immediate decertification by FAA.
Florida Lawyers held out as partners and shareholders at RRA who reap the benefits of a criminal Ponzi scheme but "look the other way"=PERMANENT DISBARMENT
Something does not make sense...according to property records....
The Morses' bought a home on Spanish River for $10.3m in 6/08. It was new construction...which explains the decorator.
They have a couple other multi million dollar properies.
So now that they allegedly spent $2m for a bad decorator... Strange that it sold to Rothstein for $7.2m.....
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:17PMFunny...we all posted something fishy at the same time.... great minds think alike.
As for La Mamounia in Marrakech ... got food poisened twice in one week there.... It is a very cool place..but DIRTY for a 5star hotel.. He came back cuz a cell in the big house might be better than Morocco!!!

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:31PMAs this blog has become family to me (my real one has abandoned me in the wake of my obsession), I am willing to offer my friends a very private and amazing offer.
My law firm as been secretly been handling cases for families of those that suffered as victims of crimes against humanity. From as early as WWII to Kosovo, we have been negotiating secret settlements with foreign government. Due to the sensitive nature of these cases, all parties must remain confidential.
However, I can disclose that in the last few months, we have secured over 900,000,000.00 in settlements, and that is jut the tip of the iceberg.
Many of our clients, but not all, want their money now. They don't want to wait for the transfers from foreign banks ad foreign governments. The transfer of this and that to the ALL powerful American dollar can take time.
So, may clients want their money now and are willing to take less now than to wait for the full amount.
Therefore, for privileged few, you can fund these people now and make 90-190% returns in 5 days.
I have only 3 ops open at this time at $100,000,000.00 each.
Jump in and say yes and I will forward you my personal offshore account wiring instructions.

The Horror... The Horror
Hi. My name is Paul. I came here tonight to admit powerlessness over Bob Norman's Blog.
I had a good life, friends, nice home, family. Until wbout three weeks ago. www.projo.com ran an item about Scott W. Rothstein, who titled two homes into a DE LLC.
We didn't know Rothstein but we know the neighborhood, of which some oldtimers say, "there's a story there." Our former homestead is close by. Both neighborhoods are situated on the east shore of Bluff Hill Cove, part of Point Judith Pond in the Town of Narragansett, RI.
News reports erroneously cay Narragansett Bay. That begins several miles to the north and east, on the Atlantic side of Point Judith Neck.
I googled Scott W. Rothstein. I found Bob Norman's blog. You know the rest. That's why I'm here. I've lost everything. No place to go.
I don't know where the family went. Friends quit calling. A couple pals came by after a several days, sniffed no decomp gasses, assumed all to be well, and left.
I'll now turn it over to the next Bob Norman's Bloganonymous member.
Before closing, here's links to the Town of Narragansett Tax Assessor's data on the two homes:
http://data.visionappraisal.com/NarragansettRI/findpid.asp?iTable=pid&pid=9644
and http://data.visionappraisal.comNarragansettRI/findpid.asp?iTable=pid&pid=9643
Perhaps I made a mistake coming here tonite. I can quit anytime. Really. I'm not hooked. Sorry to bother you, really don't belong at Bloganonymous.
I'm going to turn off the computer...and...just want to hit this refresh button...one more...

Thanks Joseph Conrad.
No idiot would act like SR unless he knew it was over and he was protected. I take back an earlier analysis that said he was paying of Levy et al to avoid death. He was paying them off to secure the sting. all transfers on the way out of town were part of the final net.
He wired up and made his office seem like it was for his protection. All of these idiots did business right under the open and obvious cameras and mics. The actually thought it was a good thing. Wow, some fed agent gets a star for coming up with it.
Build an inner sanctum full of audio and video and tell all the bad guys it's for the king to be protected. Real old fashioned mom guys would have nothing to do with it. they would walk right out of the office. Street taking is their MO.
This is gonna be amazing.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:40PM1. anyone who knows anything about rosenfeldt and his political contributions and adler and his political contributions should immediately write to the florida bar. and the feds should be called repeatedly as should the state attorneys office to force them to act. it is clear based upon information in the public records that they were facilitating the laundering of ponzi money to get it into politicians hands to influence votes and appointments and lord knows what else. adler gave more to politicians in one year than he made in a year. rosenfeldt gave huge sums as well. where did the money come from. ponzi king rothstein and his merry band of ponzi princes of course. all the bar has to do is put these idiots under oath and ask them where the money came from. if it came from the firm to them and then they gave it they are guilty of a felony. GIVING IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER. the other does not have to be a person...it can be an entity. why are they still practicing law??? at least that scumbag rothstein gave up his license instead of making the bar waste more resources chasing him. rosenfeldt and adler should man up and do the same.
2. grant smith was clearly the man behind all the money manipulations to politicians. his office was right next to that of the infamous roger j stone, jr. the political operative responsible for more political skullyduggery than any other in our time. the bar needs to put smith under oath and ask him about his involvement in the sheriffs race, the lamberti eco, his contacts with the sheriffs office on behalf of rothsteins company, edify, and other related subjects. and not to tell them how to do their job, but the feds and the state should be doing the same. his father was a crook and the apple does not fall far from the tree. dig deep and you will find smiths fingerprints all over many political machinations.
3. boden---why is he not the subject of a grand jury investigation. it is clear just from the info now in the public domain that he was a main player. investor after investor has said they never met with rothstein,only boden and his cohort rich pearson. and he is still living in one of
rothsteins multi million dollar
intracoastal homes. is it just me or does this scream for action.
4. stracher and osber---someone needs to put these boys under oath and check their involvement in all this, especially the morse fiasco. from what i have heard, stracher was the morses main atty. i heard from stever osber, another partner at the firm that stracher NEVER let anyone do ANYTHING on any morse matter without his knowledge. and that he would rant like a 2 year old if anyone did anything on any morse matter without his knowledge and approval. So all of sudden he knows nothing about morse being scammed. he was involved in every case except the case being handled
by rothstein and osber. i pulled some of the real pleadings in the jones morse case
and osbers name is all over them. so how is it possible that rothstein was doing all this without osber knowing about it and stracher knowing about it. it was well known at rra that stracher used to get on rothstein and lots of others regardless of their position in the firm about everything that bothered him, from the size of his office to how the morse files were handled to his parking space. thus, i have no doubt and neither should the feds or the bar believe that strachers hands were clean. nor osbers. this stinks to high heaven.
5. more on osber---looking at the pleadings, osber was clearly taking the lead on morse --jones, the file rothstein used to scam them (although it gets complicated because sources close to the whole mess say the ted morse, the founders son, the CEO of the company, was helping rothsteins scam in many many ways) back to osber---if osber was doing what any real attorney not aware of and participating in the scam would do---for example--sending his clients copies of everything that was really going on, rothstein and his cohorts never could have pulled the morse scam off. what rothstein and his cohorts were telling the morses was going on NEVER would have matched the pleadings osber SHOULD have been sending----so osber had to be in on it....clearly intentionally withholding
pleadings and other communications from his
clients. he could have stopped the scam but
instead aided it. lets look at his salary compared to his collections and see if he was on the take. he was clearly aiding the scam and so i hope he made it worth his own disbarment and jail time.
6. and back to stracher---according to people close to morse, stracher was providing monthly reports to morse on ALL morse cases. so either stracher knew what was going on and was in on it....or stracher knew what was going on and was in on it....or .....get my point.
7. irene shannon now irene stay---the CFO---what did she say asked for financial records of the firm----i dont want to go to
jail. what the heck is that??? if you were not doing anything wrong why would you say that when asked about financial records. hellooooooo?????????
8. pearson---according to folks at scherers office pearson was not only in on the ponzi scheme but he and boden were adding their own big VIG to each of the cases and sharing it. it wasnt enough that they were helping rothstein rip off the investors-----they had to rip off each investor just a little more. GREED!!!!!!!
9. preve---according to folks at scherers office preve had his own little businesses on the side that he kept hid from levin. apparently he was doing business with laurence king and jack simony behind levins back. it wasnt enough that he and levin were helping rothstein rip off investors---the idiotic proclamation(i mean confession) by levin at the investor meeting at scherers office that he offered to help rothstein come up with the 300 million dollar shortfall---how could their be a shortfall georgey boy if you were
selling your investors cases that were already settled and paid for--what a moron--he should sue his atty) but i digress---but preve was ripping off levin on top of it. GREED!!!!!!!!!!!
10. levin---scherers folks are also advising that levin was using money from the investors to keep up his lavish life style. money that was supposed to go to rothsteins ponzi pocket was going straight into levins personal expense account. GREEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
tired of typing....more real deal tomorrow.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:50PMWOWWWWW!!! Realdeal sure has some insider info! Now I won't sleep till he posts tomorrow...
I DO NOT BELIEVE SR was working witht the feds.... no way...he was spending like a drunken sailor! Feds would never have allowed him to live so large and act so reckless!!!
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:57PMrealdeal,
you observations are nice, but obvious to all. My hookers friend told me the same things.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 7:59PMNor would he send those suicide text mess to 5 of his partners.
Don't make no sense as dey say in da joint.
Nor would Nurik have made that statement in last nights sun-sentinal article if you read it.
I still am waitin' on a statement from Danny Boy Marino .....
He looked happy yesterday as he was commenting with the crew at the game....
Ft. Laud.
Think. They wanted it to go as fas as possible. And, the feds can hardly control an out of control person as he's rounding up such a big sting.
This has happened before.
They were trying to get as many as possible involved. It's a merit badge thing. The bigger the sting the more prestige. SR kept preforming and moving more in. In the last months, just look how man more took the KNOWING bait. They knew the fraud but wanted in for their own reasons. To clean money. To steal money and say, "hey, it's gone, not my fault." and to then have a side deal with SR to share the wealth.
As the snow ball moved down the mountain of crap, it gathered many. They let it roll.

I read everything. Think again.
The messages were part truth (I can't believe what I got myself into and I will never be the same ad I am such a rat bastard) and part of a simpler ploy. c'mon, it makes sense.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:08PM@ realdeal---that's some awesome stuff...
Stracher sounds bi polar/manic depressive.
it was well known at rra that stracher used to get on rothstein and lots of others regardless of their position in the firm about everything that bothered him, from the size of his office to how the morse files were handled to his parking space
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:09PMWas SR wired for the Feds or not? Anonymous says, no way; he was too out of control to be a cooperative arm of the initials. VinVegas says yes, it is possible.
Maybe both are true.
For arguement's sake ... look at the timing element.
He only wired up the offices 6 months ago. He might have been running his Ponzi, on a buying jag, screwing friends and clients out of their dough ... but maybe there was a turning point when the Feds got to him and made him cooperative and wired. If that was the case, they probably would not have him radically change his (eccentric, bizarre) behavior.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:18PMI thought the shit hit the fan when that Whistle blower, orthodox jewish attorney in Miami he met with 3 x's, thought something was fishy and called the Feds. Wasn't that what started the ball rollin'?
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:22PMAlso, as per their Rosh Lowe Channel 7 interview outside Starbucks, he made a comment that his office wasn't "like that" ..that it was only hooked up within the last 7 months.
Also Deb V took out a 100k HELOC within the last 60 days as per another bloggie posting....
Unless the bitch knew she were to be in need of legal representation, I doubt she would pull 100k out of a home that wasn't even hers to begin with.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:29PMmaybe the fed case fell short of what exactly SR promised them. He said he could bring in some ultra defendant. They kept giving him slack. He kept saying "I almost have him."
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:35PMWhy doesn't anyone mention Von A as a defendant?
Did anyone hear that he was raising money for the scheme?

We are all "surmising" in some respect. Even the know all Anonymous. I am not giving weak POV. I think it is strong. Boring, but strong. The alternative story is grandiose and large. I am thinking outside your box. The facts, to me, seem to point to a long time, wired-up, videoed, play.
If it is, that would make a lot os sense with SR still on the rome. He is out, waiting for contacts. Nurick keeps saying e is not talking. You saw that people reported that he said "f-ck you" to the fed and left.
It can all be a play.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:59PMHere is the story:
2003, SR has little. He starts his new firm and things go well. He grows and has 6 or 7 attorneys in 2004. Nothing great, but a firm. A real firm doing day to day lawyering.
He be befriends Ovi Levy, who, after some time, says that there is money in cash/settlement advances.
Look it up. Many companies moved here in that time because the Bar said it was ok.
Then, Ovi set out a deal that was too god to be true. SR bit. It started with very little. But mid-stream, it was big and SR got cornered by the feds. He turned a long time ago.
Wait and see mother jumpers.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 9:06PMWOW! This blog/story is very addictive. I am new to this blog site, but have been hooked since discovering it yesterday.
I grew up in South Florida and am not suprised by all of the high-profile people involved in this case and all of the shenanigans involved.
All I know is that my brother used to date George Levin's daughter in high school and I am VERY grateful that he did not marry her! Although it may have been nice for a while to fly on Levin's jet(s), go to his ski house, etc. Ha!

You need to chill out vinVegas you sound like you are on crack ...
Von A mentioned himself in a few blog article postings ago...
He hasn't missed a beat and quote unquote this hasn't changed his lifestyle one bit! He is still eating out at restaurants EVERY night and will cotinue to.
The next day the schmuck had to place his NYC condo up for sale...$18.45 Mill asking price....
a few weeks later Sherer is filing a lawsuit on Von A and family....total invested $100 and some change mill...

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 9:26PM1. rothstein definitely not a rat. too many "friends" from the bronx and down here(think runway 84) in fraudlauderdale that would have removed him from the planet along with his family and close friends if he even thought of it. according to a source inside scherers office that is working daily on the project and who has been sharing info with the feds, the feds approached rothstein thru his atty, nurik, and he told them to F off. typical rothstein. too stupid and too full of himself to realize that cooperating would have cut his sentence by at least a third.
2. rosenfeldt is the great cooperator. mr. xanax himself. he professed to be rothsteins best friend, stole money right along side him for years, used all the cash he could get his hands on to support his ten thousand dollar a week escort habit and then when the shit hit the fan started crying like a baby about how innocent he was and how he was betrayed by rothstein. rosenfeldt now known a RATSENFELDT. he took and took and took and when it came time to man up he put on some panties and a skirt and tried to drive away in his ferrari to get to his yacht. i dont know who makes me more ill....rothstein who is too stupid to try to help himself or RATSENFELDT who sobbed and sniveled all the while selling out his best friend.
3. all this crap about the inner sanctum is as i said when this all started is fantasy. first, according to tom bates, the guy who along with his wife, katia, designed and built out rothsteins new office confirmed that it only existed like that for about 6 months. the rest of the time it was wide out in the open with people walking in and out constantly. same for irene stay, his cfo and villegas, his coo. all wide open. and when it was "sealed off" it really wasnt. rosenfeldt and boden and others had swipe card 25/7 access and used it multiple times a day. and one of the buildings maintenance people confirmed to someone in schearers office that they keep a print out of who uses the cards and when.
4. i am certain rothstein will be arrested first but i am also certain that many arrests will follow. not just attorneys from the firm and support staff but many many many politicians. even without rothstein cooperating the records they must have found in his office regarding campaign contributions and pay for play will send a tidal wave of indictments over broward and tallahassee.
I am THE chick.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 9:43PMOk as someone with experience in these matters with some inside info, SR is/was working with the feds.
He started after his return from Morocco. Besides what I've been told, look at the circumstances
1 the reported call to the wacky paki Moe Sohail
2 the fact he hasn't been arrested
3 Nurik's statement that SR cannot leave his nondisclosed location unless it is with him. Now why would anyone especially an attorney submit to that?
4 how did the feds know where and in whose name the accounts / re / cars were located?
There are many other things I could point out but I'm on my blackberry

I don't like him, though I do like Mike, you have to know he's a guy that will do ANYTHING for his client. He is not my first choice. If I were in trouble I'd choose Dave Bogenshutz, he crossed me once at the end I would've walked the def, and I watched the guy do it. Second I would choose Al Milian, I know he has his troubles but he is always on the right side of the verdicts in high profile cases.

He only wired up the offices 6 months ago.
Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 8:18PM
ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE>
I was there in October 2008 and the entire system of offices (12th floor , 16th floor, and 22nd floor) was wired with cameras and bugs.
Joe Alu's son Dominick sat at monitors on the 12th floor suites (Kip Hunters area) and watched monitors ALL day and ALL night. SR had access to the audio and video whenever he wanted.
I KNOW. He had WAAAYYYYY to much 'casual' info that went on privately in offices...
He may have ramped it up but they were always there.
There were only MAAAYBE 6 people plus security (Bobby, Joey) that had access to the Seperate dooron 16th foor(glass door to the inner sanctum located down short hall where the elevators were, Main entrance to the opposite side thru double glass doors) and seperate elevator with key cards.
EVERYONE else had the same coded cards for the rest of the floors/offices throughout the BA building. You could enter the the area that led to the inner sanctum hallway once you were in the 16th floor lobby to the left but good luck getting into SR's 'hallway' with Debra, Uncle Bill, Marybeth, Irene, Aimee and Amy...

Yes they will but they don't tell you where you can go (short of fleeing) or who you can see as has been reported by his atty Nurik.

Posted On: Friday, Nov. 27 2009 @ 11:47PMBill Scherer needs to get his facts straight in his Complaint. His "investigative team" doesn't seem very competent:
1. RRA was not co-counsel on the Eli Lilly case. That firm had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it. They were not counsel of record for anyone in the case.
2. He must be speaking with/working with Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys if he believes any depositions sought in the case were "inappropriate." It's not his case, he was not involved with the investigation, so how would he know whether or not it was appropriate to depose certain individuals?
3. He fails to mention that the Chiquita mass tort cases were CONRAD SCHERER'S cases!!!
He doesn't have the facts straight on any of the legitimate cases, not even HIS OWN FIRM'S case that SR was using in his Ponzi scheme. Shouldn't he disclose that to his clients or mention it in the Complaint. Seems a little fishy to me...
The allegations in a complaint are just that, allegations. Often in a case like this, the complaint will be amended multiple times. Amendments in Florida are liberally granted.
Unfortunately, we won't learn much from the answers to the complaint, unless there are counterclaims. The counterclaims themselves are nothing but allegations.
Scherer's lawsuit won't take shape for months as his team proceeds with discovery, ie: interrogatories, depositions, etc: Unfortunately, discovery will not necessarily be made part of the public record. Scherer's team will likely leak facts that are advantageous to them to shape public opinion with potential jurors.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 4:47AMThis law firm is not just guilty of Ponzi schemes and extortion. They have picked through trash and planted evidence falsely only to have that trash show up on Nancey Graces' show. The person that realized it was their trash had to call the show personally. Think Caylee Anthony. George the father used to be a cop in Ohio. Where did he run to? Daytona Beach. Why?
Where did the UBS sign go on the B of A build? In the 30's they were labeled the "Purple Gang". History just repeats itself and nothing ever changes.
Why are folks coming down on vinVegas for questioning about why Von Allmen is not listed on the complaint? I asked this a few days ago and got no response. I believe it is odd and wanted someone 'with more legal info' to explain. I thought it was fishy... like he was involved and now Linda is trying to regroup what she losts as he gets ready to 'go down' ????? Anyhow else have insight into this? Also, there was a mention that D Von Allmen posted here... but I can't seem to find it.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:08AMDid anyone find it odd and possibly illegal??? that Bodens attornys wife is their "therapist" as well as Debra V's and many others at RRA?
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:12AMI don't think it is odd or illegal regarding lots of the people having the same therapist... BUT, I sure do tell my therapist a lot of stuff that I wouldn't want out on the street... so, I'm assuming this 'therapist'could provide a lot of interesting information if the whole client/privledge/confidentiality thing can be disregarded.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:20AMdont u think she and her husband who is representing Boden "talk" to each other- this whole RRA cast of chatictors is seeming very incestuious
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:26AMIn criminal cases and when murder is involved the therapist is required by their liscense to report to authorities information.

Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:35AMThe Israel Connection: Going back to the Original email Rothstein sent out "As law partner Stuart Rosenfeldt remembers it, Rothstein said he had a client who needed to know which countries lack extradition treaties with Israel and the United States."
Scott Rothstein Included Israel regarding extradition treaties. Why would he include Israel? Fraud, Money
Laundering and Embezzlement . This emal is a tell all that
Scott Rothstein had concerns in Israel.
No one is getting DOWN on vinVegas.
If you follow the blog, there was an article about Von A and his statements that I posted above last night. Click back through the blog and you will be able to find it. It has only been a month since all these people involved discussed on this blog have been revealed. Your memory can not be that bad.
The possible defend has yet to be exposed to the masses.
Since he and his family coughed up over $100 Mill, I would assume the FEDS are looking at everyone involved on both sides of the scam.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:46AMBob
Its gettin pretty lame when we are down to Girls of RRA! and then to read through 196 comments without any useful information. I mean this was exciting for a while but now I have a Rothstein hangover. Need something new or at least entertaining. Call moe up again - get him talking - that was the last good stuff I read. what about Scott - cant anybody find him ??? call up McDermott if you need his number let me know - what about JOE Alu? Cant you get Jenne (either one ) to say anything? I know people who know Preve and say hes a genius -Scherer is on both sides of this as he was so chummy with SR when he was writing cks to Pols and where will he and John Collins and Blosser go drink and plot now that Jacksons is closed? What about allegations of sex in the champagne room. Angela China ? Who's that ? Moes girl sabrina this is what we want to read.
Theres a lot of angles just trying to help because I need this stuff and its getting pretty weak lately.
@ 7:20
BUT, I sure do tell my therapist a lot of stuff that I wouldn't want out on the street
Well you just told us on a blog you see a therapist. Who would want to even admit to that. For what purpose.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:48AMIn the 50's what was left of the Purple Gang moved to FL from Detroit and continued their usual bootlegging and baby selling. They would sell the babies to the mob take the money and run with the baby and money into Canada. Never owe money to the Israelis or Russians. If you can't pay them they will have you commit a crime instead.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 7:56AMI just saw a MORSE commercial on TV and got that same sick feeling as wehn every 2 seconds SR of RRA was promoting some charity or another as their spokes-perspn on TV- boy bet no-one misses those commercials or the indundation of them!

I thought this was a bunch of super-sleuths. If ya'll want to see the discovery go to the court and copy it unless it is under seal. You won't see the initial sets but you will see any motions filed for PCC (protect, compel, complain) and then they attach a copy of discovery. So even if they redact some info, you bunch of super-sleuths can figger it out. Put the documents up on MS Messenger or Google docs and collaborate.

Shame on the Chadad that won't give the money back, that is very Jewish. (anti-seminatic remark for the Anti Defamination League to record after they return the $100,000 they sucked from Scott).
This is a very serious case, and mean FEDS...don't be surprised, THIS LAW is in the hands of other's...expect some "hits" to come.. kinda surprised that hasn't happened yet. Maybe waiting for a chance to find out where their money is hidden..after all, that is what this is all about. Always was a money laundering operation... just some legitimate investors for show and "blow".
Why does Scott's insiders, who live in his Seven Isles Homes have all the window's covered with dark film..been that way for months???
Is Scott staying with Nurik?
Two cars there???
Scott seemed to make up Court Documents for anything he needed...if you had a case with him for anything, I would get an attorney to authenticate the Doc's..you may not own your home or have a real "Lein" on a property... I understand Ted Morse loaned Scott $14 million to consolidate his houses..wonder what that "Recorded Lein" looks like...wonder if Stracher personally checked on the recording (Morse private Attorney).. anyone knows please pipe right in.... looks like the Morse family is in this up to their necks, like it or not, innocent or not.. and what do you say... "The Brother I Never Had"... think about those words??????? What do you think now Ted???? What was Scotty really saying???
Happy last Thanksgiving to all those involved..hope you enjoyed the ride.

On another note...the emotions all the participants are experiencing must be incredible. Knowing you're going to be arrested and most likely going to prison for a very long time...ya think its been disturbing their sleep?

Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 9:15AM@ herb History repeats itself:
Approximately 10 years ago, "they" shot and Killed Shimon Levy's partner. The gunman was wearing a fake beard and carrying a baby doll (a message). Fast forward 10 years later... Rothstein (indirect partner with Levy). Is very close to a murder involving his COO's bestfriend. Plantation (notice plantation) police arrest the alleged killer. Rothstein beefs up security even more. Sends out Emails to his Kidzzzz, in the office demanding no one go back to his inner (under
ground world)... perhaps Rothstein didn't wanted himself to be killed by a bearded man carrying a baby doll. Maybe Rothstein was skimming off to much scum (funny money).

Obama did one thing right..he is going to let the people handle the law, save hundreds of thousands of dollars hording these criminals in jail the rest of their lives... Instructions from Washington, find the money (that is what this Government is all about) let the mob have a little, confiscate the rest and turn the mob loose to take care of business...
Net cash on cash for Obama is a Win Win.....
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 9:42AMMy Opinion : When you follow the money at the end it was going to Morocco and back here to Levy. I think Scott Rothstein thought he could fix things between the big money men and Levy. It was to late. I am surprised no one killed him in Morocco. I guess "they" thought he would be better off coming back to Ft. Lauderdale, serving time in prison.
He was a dead man walking.

actually the one time I used RRA it was da women calvalry that cme through for me - got into an IP dispute over a trademark with an agressive cowboy car dealer from Texas - Lisa Kaufman represented us - she did one hell of a job - dont think she could wear a pant suit though - would not cover her balls... she went right straight to scorched earth round one
first thing she did was file a suit in Fed court here and told the cowboys to play nice and work out the issue over the mark or accept service and come on down...
she is, in my opinion, an excellent attorney. Paid the bill and never did get back the unused portion of the retainer - but hey - dont most law firms do that? fuck the client a little at the end just for sport.....
American Express pre-paid cards. Think about it people.
Are those traceable?
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:20AMnot if bought with cash they arent traceable
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:24AMYes the AMEX cards are traceable.
@ Torte
Oyyyy!! They must be so pissed...
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:25AMI think the Pulp is gonna come thru soon ---( please!!)
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:27AMhow can they be traced if u pay for them with cash- the merchants who accepted them can prob be traced...but then again..if they were paid for in case who would know what vendors accepted those ones- If I go to CVS or somewhre right now and buy Amex gift cards with cash there is no record of me
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:29AMin the denominations they were purchased AMEX would have had to file under the Patriot Act if purchased for cash - betting very few PA forms were filed against SR... so one only needs to look at the AMEX statement however anyone can cash them in any amount with no fuss no muss - NO reporting required...
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:30AMhow do u know the denominations- i only read $80,000 worth of them..but I didnt read the donomonations of them
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:32AM@ christy
They would put their money in a dogs name if they could get a SS# for it.
Robbing bank accts is easy now especially if you own the law. Think Anna Nicole Smith. Especially if you have a willing network that will participate.
My guess is that they have worn out their welcome with all the high drama.
The lesson here is, if you are going to do your laundry invest in a quiet machine.
Well they seized 80k worth of AMEX cards.
It's obvious he was giving out those cards as tips to his cronies-hookers-whoever.
Just showed he had to buy people. He had to pay for a BJ...he had to pay for every fucking thing that came his way....no one wanted to be in his company unconditionally...how sad of an existance is that. How many Scott Rothsteins are roaming the earth having to do the same thing....pay everyone they know in order to be their friend.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 10:40AMduh - if you walk into an AMEX office with 80k in cash and buy gift certificates Amex has to file - unless someone took the trouble to buy multiple certicates in small denominations - problem with that is there are not enough AMEX offices within any geographic area to buy multiples and I dont think banks sell them - besides SR is so ADD that he wouldnt have forgotten what he was doing after the first purchase...

Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 11:03AMRegarding American Express gift cards..
Here is an aside case: a man pleaded guilty in 2006 for running an American Express and other gift card Ponzi scheme....I wonder?? He pleaded Guilty in exchange for 3-7 jail sentence. http://www.longislandpress.com/2009/09/22/hicksville-man-pleads-guilty-to-ponzi-scheme/
I know we all want a new blog.........but the bloggers get so critical if Bob posts something that isn't news.(like the Women of RRA) I'm sure there is nothing new on the weekend after Thanksgiving. I too am "jonesing" for a new blog..........but we have to be patient.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 11:04AMA Hicksville man pleaded guilty Monday to operating a $2.4 million Ponzi scheme that promised investors he could procure gift cards, sports tickets and timeshares, Nassau prosecutors said.
Craig Ginsberg, 48, pleaded guilty to grand larceny in exchange for a sentence of 3 ½ to 7 years in prison at his Oct. 29 sentencing date.
In 2006, Ginsberg told family, friends, and colleagues that he could procure gift cards to stores like Target, Best Buy, Nordstrom’s and Toys ‘R Us, as well as Visa and American Express gift cards, for half price, but that they must wait three months to get their cards, prosecutors said. Ginsberg would purchase gift cards at face value and tell his victims that he got them for half-off. Victims would then increase the dollar amount of future purchases, and start bringing in other friends and family members.
Those new to the scheme wanted to be part of its “success,” and would pre-pay thousands of dollars for more gift cards they thought were coming. But the scheme fell apart in the 2008 when Ginsberg could no longer maintain it, prosecutors said. Almost all of the victims who invested money in 2008 received nothing. Sixty-three victims then reported to authorities that they lost a total of $2,392,435.
In addition to the gift card scam, Ginsberg also claimed that he could provide luxury suites for Islanders games, Knicks games, and the Super Bowl. Ginsberg told victims that if they fronted the money to purchase the suite from a distressed owner, he could flip it for a profit and get them a huge return on their investment, prosecutors said. He similarly told victims that he could buy overseas timeshares from distressed owners and then sell them for a huge profit.
Those swindled include doctors, lawyers, accountants and the congregation of a South Shore temple that lost a combined $15,000. One victim lost nearly $1 million in gift cards and timeshare investments while several others lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“Mr. Ginsberg stole from his friends and family, ruining their finances and violating their trust,” Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said in a statement. “It is imperative for investors to understand the risks they are taking and to know that there is no such thing as a sure thing. If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.”
Ginsberg’s attorney, Michael Schwed, said: “He’s very remorseful and feels very bad about the people he hurt and wishes it didn’t happen and was hoping to recoup the money to make everybody whole but it just didn’t work out that way.”
Pulp, if you don't post soon, we are going to have to start discussing Tiger Woods.

Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 11:20AMCash transactions must be reported if $10K or more. If $9,999 and less, no report. Plus it is possible that his lackies could have procured them, many people buying many smaller denominations, didn't have to be the Little Big Man.
More importantly, why focus on a measly $80K when the bucks are bigger in other activities. Small potatoes.

Strangely, SR the semi-literate, narcissistic, tasteless twitching midget did the citizens of Broward County a favor by exposing broward for the corrupt cesspool of moral squalor that it has always been. I hope the Feds clean house. It has been a long time coming.

This case is the best thing to his Broward since the orange groves....
As I have said. They are CHOSEN to show the world what NOT to be.
Thank God for Freedom, Truth and Liberty!
Yippieee its about time these arrogant self righteous schmucks get a reality check beat down...exposing them for what they truly are. Fucked up frauds....

I'll have more to report either late tonight or tmo because I am going out with a bunch of people to some clubs and stuff in Manhattan tonight for my b/day. Some of these guys are well connected. Plus my g/f from Brazil flew up y/day and she wants me to stop "investigador jogando" (playing investigator) - although I did pick up some more clues from the FBI list of seized goods from RRA offices.
On another note I sent the other "Kim Rothstein" apartment I found y/day at 151 E. 58th to the FBI in Miami and credited this Blog as to facilitation. One problem I noticed is that there are no units in that bldg for $500k, not even a studio apt.

Can someone in here write about how the leather feels in a G-5 when you are in the air for 8 hours plus? What about on the trip west from Northern Africa, do you catch a tail wind?
How about the sound that the induction system on a V-12 lamborghini makes when you roll onto the throttle?
Or how the formula one transmission shifts in the ferrari? Or even how to engage the paddle shifters for that matter.
Scotty boy, did you try to purchase a Ferrari FXX like Preston Henn and keep it at the track in Italy?
Please tell us about that.

Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 11:55AMHas anyone tracked down the pilots of the G-5 that Rothstein allegedly flew to Northern Africa in?
Wouldn't that be a pretty neat little interview?
When the Feds spoke to them I bet they didn't say any foolishness about their confidentiality agreements did they.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 11:58AMI wonder if it is possible that the Alu's were all working with the FBI.
"You're a lawyer, you do certain things, you sue people, you take their money and stuff and ruin their lives, you do stand a threat of people wanting to come and try to retaliate," Alu said. "It's business as usual."

Sheila Alu would only say she was approached by the FBI and agreed to help them uncover public corruption. Her work eventually helped lead to the Sept. 23 arrests of School Board member Beverly Gallagher, County Commissioner Josephus Eggelletion (MOE'S CIGARS FEDS) and former Miramar Commissioner Fitzroy Salesman
her history with the FBI began in 2005 after she pressured Sunrise to put its $13.5 million garbage contract out to bid

Bingo Anon. That it is, maybe an opportunity to clean up this embarrassing garbage dump. You only missed one thing. You insult all semi-literates. Scott is barely literate.
Good he's finally going down, but this repulsive asswipe played his daily mayhem right in front of us for years and years. Quite troubling that people can be so vacant they don't grasp what is happening right in front of their eyes. Disgraceful.
Check connection between Bob Vesco (1960's ponzi schemer extraordinaire) and RRA shareholder.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:11PMI have a take on why the investigation is going the way it is. I'd be curious to see everyone elses take on this also. If this has been posted before, my apologies.
If we put ourselves into SR's shoes for a minute, and ask ourselves what we would do if we were him once he got to Morocco. He was definitely in a better bargaining position there than he would have been here. So, heres some of the things I would have wanted for my return to the states, full cooperation, and the return of as much money as I could return.
And make no mistake, the FEDS don't agree to anything without his full cooperation.
1. An agreement that the gov't will file a 5k1 and rule 35 on my behalf when it comes time.
2. Recommend a max of 20 years.
3. Full immunity for everyone in my family.( The single most important thing)
4. Arrest after Jan 1st.
(Spend the last holidays with my family)
5. Self surrender.
(Spare the embarrasment)
I'm sure the list is longer than that, but what else would you ask for? I know this will probably elicit some of the "hooker" type comments, but I'd be interested to see what else people would ask for.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:14PMHere is a Quote from an intern back in September, (an Intern smelt it, makes one believe RRA all knew).
In September, I ate dinner with close friend of mine, who also interned at RRA, and his older sister, who works at a more prestigious South Florida law firm. My friend and I inquired as to what his sister was hearing about Scott and RRA.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if, a few years from now, we find that he’s been running a massive Ponzi scheme,” I half-jokingly remarked.
Half-jokingly. Ha ha
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:17PMfor us non legal eagles--whats
5k1 and rule 35 on my behalf when it comes time.
Sorry...
5k1 and rule 35 are "substantial assistance " motions to the court recommending a reduced sentence for the cooperation you have given. One is pre sentence, one is post sentence.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:26PMThe 5k1 is a motion by the prosecutor , for a lower sentence when SR cooperates
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:28PMmaybe this is why he didnt need to hire a big name defense attny-maybe his deal is all locked up already and hes just waiting for hanukkah to pass...which would be mid december i believe
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:31PMby the way- r Nurik and Boden and the handy man still living in SR houses- 3 in a row- on the intercoastal- seems like they r sitting targets then for Levy or any angry investors-wonder if they have security---
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:33PMNo one with enough money to live on comes back looking at a possible life sentence without at least the structure of a deal. All this talk about SR being killed or whatever wouldn't be enough for him to come back without a deal. Being in Morocco gave him an excellent chip to play, and every day that goes by gives the gov't less of a chance to recover the money.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:36PMi think he would have included Debra V in his deal- maybe thats why none of us have heard a thing from her- no sightings, no lawyer mentioned, no comments from a laywer-- wonder how deep his relationship runs with her- probably pretty deep if they r together trying to still hide the murder of Melissa-- bet he has her getting in on his deal- what do u think
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:37PMPulp, how about some hits/visitor statistics for your blog over the last 3 weeks??
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:37PM@ History repeats
Someone else mentioned Vesco a few blog articles back.
In terms of what I would ask for in return for my full cooperation. Not quite sure in that after reading the most recent Ponzi schemes that were not a quarter the magnitude of RA's and were sentenced to 7-50 yrs...as Sherer stated, he thinks he is working his way down from a life sentence.
It would lead me to believe he agreed to come back knowing he could face life and work his way down. His family other than his children and ex wife, who he is estranged from are the only people that should be granted immumnity. Those in the daily presence of their husband and son benefiting from the stolen $$ they obviously knew didn't grow on trees ...should without a doubt be held accountable. Anyone that is AWARE that a FRAUD is in the midst of FRAUDULENT behavior should be held accountable. Especially anyone receiving GIFTS or Business Loans especially Real Estate out of the pocket of a SCUM. If these people were bought and paid for with fraud stolen $$ and kept zipped in his ponzi pocket, they have the same pig mentality as the Star of the Ponzi Fraud show.
We know Scott RatSwine ain't da only serial finacial RAPIST as ex Judge Berger so eloquently ref to the rabid dog that should be shot....Just as the Broward Humane Society can't keep up with the ever growing number of dogs on the street ....the Feds can't keep up with the scum on the street ...who need to be locked up and JAILED placed in Prison to learn a life long lesson.
Karma never sleeps nor does the TRUTH of the Mind of God hovering over those that are victimized intentionally aka Malicious Intent by insecure swine that have to pay losers off in order to cover their tracks/lies.
So which one of these players or subplayers as Rottie Scottie claimed there are roaming the streets...which one is on their 3rd Strike....Fla does have a 3 Strike Law, do they not?
Rule 35 is a Motion for Reconsideration of a Sentence, also used to correct a sentence. This is after the sentencing .
Just for a simple explanation,For a Defendant to receive a lower sentences ;
One must cooperate with the government. Which means that he or she helps the government investigate or prosecute someone else.
There are two ways that "COOPERATING" CAN RESULT IN A LOWER SENTENCE. IF A DEFENDANT COOPERATES BEFORE SENTENCING, THE Prosecutor can file a motion pursuant to 5K1.1 of the USG. If a defendant cooperates after sentencing, the prosecutor can file a Rule 35 motion.
He may have included Debra. My guess is that shes cooperating too. For what she allegedly did, she wasn't compensated enough to bite the bullet. My guess is even if she wasn't included in SR's agreement, she already has one of her own.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:42PMEveryone assumes that they know the number is 1 bil +. We don't know yet how much was paid in "profit" They will have to subtract that number from the total. The FEDS are notorious for using the top number that is usually very inflated.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:47PM@bystander
Yes, someone mentioned that a while back as well. Regardless, it's at least 500 Mill.
a 50 Mill Ponzi that Weston resident was sentenced to 50 yrs the other day.
My guestimate is min 20 yrs.

All prosecutors consider testifying against another person to be "substantial". Some prosecutors do not consider simply providing information to be "substantial", unless it leads to something specific, such as an arrest, indictment, or conviction.
REMEMBER, What is "substantial" in one prosecutor's office may not be "substantial" in another office.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:52PMRecovering stolen money is almost always substantial
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 12:55PMCould some of that stolen money have been laundered in luxury/exotic car transactions?

Wait till they question these Escorts-Strippers. I am sure they will get immunity for their testimony against Ponzi Pimp....
Solicitation of Prostitutes.
All the illegal campaign contributions....as I have previously posted....couldn't he be facing at least a dozen to 2 dozen felony charges? Let's just say on the low end...each is 5 yrs...that's 75 yrs right there....
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 1:02PMI think when its all added up, the "profit" paid to investors, the commissions paid to the brokers, the companies and real estate, along with the cars, charitable contributions, most of the money will be accounted for. Add in the money to keep the law firm afloat, SR's personal bills, and you will have even more.
The most intersting thing will be accounting for the missing money because some of it could have been funneled to politicians, or other people. It will be interesting to see who SR points his finger at, and if anything can be proven (after all, thats why you use cash)
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 1:06PMThere are so many elements of criminal activity here he will be charged with. Anyone who is in this County even remotely pondering or in the midst of similar behavior should be shitting their pants. Esp if the person has prior felonies under their fraud belt.
There is no way the Feds are not going to make a major statement with this case.
It's just a matter of time for the rest of you fucked up frauds roaming the streets free get what you deserve.
The KEY word there is DESERVE.
OK does anyone want to solve a homicide/HPDcoverup while we are waiting for Bob to feed us ???? Its a true life story which has been written by (Sherlock ficticious name who writes for New Times} who spent 3 months investigating and interviewing witnesses etc.It is not a question of who did it, its a question of why HPD dont investigate and charge Neal Chambers and Sharon Sikes with murder.Basically in my opinion the murder is solved with overwhelming evidence.I have been told to mind my own business by detectives i have had my life threatened ive been stalked and intimidated by the notorious corrupt and now retired Jeff Marano.I persistantly complained to The FBI which resulted in a sting that sent 4 corrupt cops to prison and might have forced Jeff to retire.I have asked many investigators and lawyers to assist me namely Scott Rothstein who was representing Rick Stone ex chief of HPD who was fired because he was exposing corruption at HPD they were suing Jeff Marano and the his PBA who had him fired.I am doing this for justice only. Tom Sikes although was a convicted drug dealer and spent 12 years in prison even though he worked with the Feds and was not suppose to spend time in prison because of a lawyer screw up( see Jim Defede New Times What a differance a year makes) Also there is a rumour that they tortured Tommy by pouring gasoline down his throat to make him tell them where he had stashed $$$$$ (are you reading this SR) this is no joke and i believe it did happen only HPD know for sure and they wont even say Neal is a suspect!!!! He has been rewarded millions from his mother in assets and money for murder! Fellow supersleuths and bloggers if interested please assist in my endeavour if to heavy i understand Bob will feed us soon. TORTS u da man need details?????
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 1:10PMI've gone 12 hours without checking the Pulp. But here I am. So here's a question for you So Flas. If SR cooperates and it exposes an assload of corruption, and convictions or removal from office 5-10 public officials and convictions of say another 10 power broker types and OC types, at the end of the day would he be good or still evil?
Those are your only choices

He would be evil in that he is only doing it to save his sorry schmuck ass.
We all have good and evil in us, that is how the Good Lord created us. Unless he truly repents and transforms himself into the Man of God he was originally called to be from birth. He remains an evil little swine with a manic bi polar borderline sociopath psychotic ego.
Posted On: Saturday, Nov. 28 2009 @ 1:21PMUnderstanding The Banyon Deal
George Levin was the general partner (“GP”) who solicited limited partners (“LP”)to commit to at least $1M each. The LP’s put in $250k initially and were subject to periodic capital calls up to the amount of their commitments. They were promised 12% annually (15 % for first $100M in), to be paid quarterly. The general partner had to maintain a balance of not less than 10% of all contributions after any quarterly distributions. The general partner also gave a “clawback”guaranty to all LP’s to the extent of their original contributions. LP’s could not request redemptions during an initial one-year “lock-up” period and had to give 90 days’ notice. Redemptions would be paid from the GP’s own capital account “to the extent available” with a 10% hold back, but otherwise only from the purchased lawsuits settlement stream.
Banyon had paid RRA at least $656M but was expecting over a maximum 24 month window to receive $1.1 Billion. It did get back about $500M, but most if not all was likely reinvested. Thus Levin was set to make 40% over 24 months but only pay out 24%.
Essential to the scheme was the use of RRA’s IOTA trust accounts established “for the plaintiff” in the purported litigation settlements. Banyon claimed in its prospectus to have a legal opinion that Banyon’s interest in the RRA IOTA trust accounts “perfected automatically on execution of the transfer documents”, i.e., the law suit proceeds assignments created by RRA’s Boden. The LP’s were warned that they could be taxed on the Partnership’s income and realized gains even if no distributions were made.
This arrangement greatly facilitated RRA’s Ponzi scheme, particularly if reinvestments were occurring. Presumably the interest on the IOTA accounts that were in fact funded went monthly to the Florida Bar. That must have been over ten million, if based just on the money Banyon had contributed. That money was being used to fund the phony settlement accounts after RRA skimmed in order to keep its otherwise insolvent law firm operation afloat, including “gifts” to partners and money given to politicians, charities, and pay for a massive advertising budget, as well as Scotty’s personal lifestyle. That probably amounted to $50-$100 million a year over three years. Then add in the money that he funneled to the Israeli mob, particularly the $200M wired out of the accounts in October 2009. That all adds up to about a $500M loss. He likely borrowed initially from the Israeli’s to start the scam.
Watch the Wire people and then ratchet up some of the behaviour in some instances or ratchet it down in others.
Rothstein did not invent the game. He just played it.
Now let's get to some good stuff. When is someone going to start the walking tour or maybe like have one of those huge amphibious mobiles that can go in water and then eco-crimes tourists can all pile in and do a proper tour of the places that have been talked about for the last 30 days or so. Think about it, the building that RRA was in should charge a buck a head (did I say he
Then the tour duck bus can end up at the capital grille and we can each get like a box lunch and eat it on the side walk with the staff coming outside and rubbing our backs and telling us its OK if we admit to stealing time away from our families due to our insane addiction to this story and our insane addiction to commenting on this blog.
As for you straight laced types, God Bless you (oh no, did i just write g*d? -- will my tribal card be stripped of me? Let me call my Rabbi) please bare with me on this comment as I know some of you take this so serious it is comical onto itself.
Anyhow, for your straight arrows that cannot see the absolute vulgarity of the behaviour of these louts sorry for tormenting you with this post.
I am sure there are all types of serious questions you want answers too like: what is substantial compliance. Did he conspire with so and so. Did the putative co-conspirator act in concert enough to be indicted. Will there be unindicted co-conspirators. Will Scott get into witness protection and go on to sell god knows what in Arizona or new mexico or something.
Will he then turn into some kind of ponzi expert and end up on ellen d's show or maybe even fox news explaining how he did all this to help the dalai lama by funding insurgencies in the fight for the oppressed in Nepal.
God only knows but it sure is fun to get out some anger at this wretch and the enablers and sycophants that were in his orbit and the others for that matter that he orbitted. Rothstein cannot be the biggest player in this drama.
Something so much bigger is going on.
This cannot be some little thing that just got too big for his britches. Or maybe its the totality of it all like it has been written by the Pulp and numerous others on here: the cops, the politicians et al, the bankers, the business folks, the scammers, the pretenders, the newly minted money class, the fake money class and the list goes on and on.
What gives?

Interesting post. While I agree that SR will not be the biggest player in this drama (his investors were all more major league than him), I believe he was the center of everything, and I guess we will all find out. But I'd be surprised if there was someone above him pulling the strings. The money trail will lead the way I'm sure.

Inside info: Villegas was always at war with the other RRA partners--particularly Stracher, Neiwirth, Lippman, Farmer, etc. Adler & Rosenfeldt tried to smooth things over, but had been crossing her too and questioning last year
Villegas is now bargaining time of her sentence with a "take no prisoners" Queen For A Day poinying the finger at one and all.

Bob, take a look at Gene from Euromotorsports. Check his criminal background (extensive), realize that he went from a tiny warehouse to the incredible showroom on Broward blvd at the height of the recession (who else do we know that grew during the recession) then realize that not only did Gene sell most of the exotics to SR but he routinely had SR's cars listed in his inventory.
Come on folks, how have you over looked this multi million dollar connection? Talk about a great laundering business!

Mr. & Mrs. Woods would do well do lay low and stay silent, lest they risk charges that may carry the 'D.V.', Domestic Violence, 'enhancer'.
Police need not observe a party committing a crime. D.V. laws let cops charge whomever they believe to be the primary agressor.
Reckless parking with a 'D.V. enhancer' can take one's Second Ammendment Rights, forever.
'D.V.' is an 'enhancer' not a crime, thus the only way to preserve one's Rights is to be found not guilty. Pleading equals conviction: forfeit Second Ammendment rights forever, possession of a single cartridge can get you five years in federal prison.
'Heated Evidence', nonsensical false statements uttered in an agitated state can be considered evidence, even if the parties recant.
Parents often call police on a tantruming teen, only to regret it when the teen is charged with D.V. crimes and loses their rights.
A golf club and smashed rear windshield could be seen as evidence under D.V. laws which, though perhaps crafted for benign reasons, created unintended consequences.
D.V. laws prohibit many cops and military personnel from carrying firearms even on military bases, courtesy of spouses and/or lawyers who file Restraining Orders the way Place Pigalle 'service workers' file their nails.
Off topic? Perhaps, but bear in mind, unscrupulous litigants often misuse D.V. laws to gain leverage over innocent parties who have something they covet.
I'm a layman, the above is my understanding based upon research undertaken because one often bumps into this issue. Fortunately, many fine websites now provide information on how to defend oneself from this strain of Judicial Terrorism.

The scammer from Weston has NOT been sentenced yet! He signed an agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office for a recommendation of 10 years in prison, although the judge can give more or less. The judge in that case is a noted harsh sentencer so he might well get 15 years.

Posted On: Sunday, Nov. 29 2009 @ 10:47AMAn irrebutable presumption exists that Rothstein peddled influence while on the Florida's Bar Grievance Committee and the Judicial Nominating Commission in a self-serving manner. Every grievance case he sat on should be re-examined. Every judge he recommended or donated to should be questioned UNDER OATH.
Do not buy into the Florida Bar promise this will never happen again, b/c it ALWAYS does. The FL Department of Professional Regulation must take-over regulation of attorney discipline instead of allowing such matters to remain in the hands of those Rothstein type loonies who self regulate themselves at the Florida Bar.
5 will get you 10 the attorney was Christina Kitterman, tall blonde in the middle front. Anyone wanna take that action?

Scott "2-inch dick' Rothstein never nailed any of them.
Rothstein is in to CBT. Moe the pimp used to procure girls to don boxing gloves and punch Rothstein in the BALLS. He was into pain and 'being punished" for what he was doing.
Moe used to procure trannys for Rus Adler who liked 'chicks with dicks". Moe has photos if Russell wants to deny it.
One of he trannys gave Adler herpes which Adler has kept from his wife.

I approve of the criticisms of the Florida Attorney Regulation Counsel. I complained to the Colorado and the Wisconsin bar associations about what I am totally convinced was criminal conduct (witness intimidation, witness retaliation, conspiracy to deprive rights under color of law etc.) Their response was simply to not acknowledge what I wrote. I am sick of lawyers protecting lawyers!
The Florida Rules of Professional Conduct require lawyers to inform on each other but no one informed on Rothstein until Nov 09 when the ___ was hitting the fan anyway.
The feds should regulate bar associations and attorney regulation counsel should be an elected office.
KNOWYOURCOURTS.com has some information on attorney regulation counsels.
