The Scott Rothstein Video
From the Capital Grille, this is Scott Rothstein being greeted by the staff there and being served a martini. It's not earth-shattering, but it's him at about noon today.
One thought: When he told me he believed that his investors would get their money back today, I didn't think of the obvious: TD Bank. Everyone now is pointing the finger at Frank Espinosa, the TD Bank executive who oversaw Rothstein's accounts. You know what they say about banks. It's where the money is.

Winking as you say you're going to do the right thing doesn't help your cause.

Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:17PMI am digging the massage given to SR by the wait staff.
What's next? A happy ending for dessert?
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:24PMI mean here is a guy just begging to be made an example of...
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:24PMGreat job Bob. Drinking martinis while his "city" burns. How poetic.(pathetic?)
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:26PMThe GM of CG comes over and consoles Scott, Along with a waiter. SR dropped a lot of Cash at the CG, but it was not his cash....
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:28PMdestroys five restaurants, a law firm, and countless people's peace of mind and finances before heading over to Capital Grille to have a drink--while his wife is barricaded in the house surrounded by hostile press and the IRS--what a scumbag
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:37PMGod help him. He hurt a lot of people but I'm going to pray for him anyway. He's going to need it.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:47PMSR believes the investors will receive there money today....thats good comedy.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 3:58PMHe's out having a martini while my spouse is in his office filing for unemployment. How are you gonna make that right douchbag?
Meanwhile Nurik lives in a house owned by SR rent free but claim's to be broke, ha!
Anyone hiring support staff?
God does everybody that knows Scott live in one of his houses?
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 4:07PMI wonder what kind of tip he left? I see a suicide on the horizon...
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 4:38PMWho would fall for this? *From Bill Scherer's complaint filed today:
Rothstein negotiates a $30MM settlement in an employment discrimination case. Defendant agrees to pay $5MM per month for six months. A group of investors forms and agrees to pay $18MM for the stream of income of $5MM for the next six months.
So many unbelievable aspects to this "deal".
1. $30MM settlement without filing suit.
2. Agree to accept $5MM per month (huge risk of non-payment)
3. Ability to convince defendant to accept a 40% discount on their settlement?
I think the commenter was "John" a ways back who hit the nail on the head. The "investors" knew it was a Ponzi scheme and were all in cahoots.
Orrrr... as I think somebody else suggested, this was a Federal sting operation to catch some bigger bad guys.
Anybody for some chili on their cheese fries?
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 4:39PMHello Scott W Rothenstien
You made out like a tough guy before but now you have reverted to a pathetic, twitching doofus. But let me remind you of something that was discussed a few months back.
I will jab your eyeball, I will poke your eyeball out , and then I WILL SKULLFUCK YOUR FAT BLOATED MUG.
And you will lose your wife, house, cars,toy, money, influence, adoration, friends.
Gee Scott, you should really be carefull of what you say to people, you should know by now how it works.
Your time in prison will not be pleasant, if you make it that far.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 4:47PMhope he paid in cash, and he is gonna be in the same cell with Madoff-
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 4:48PMi love Norman as much as the next guy but isn't it more than a little strange that of all the hundreds or thousands of us that have been keeping our eyes out for Rothstein in the last week, it is NORMAN who happens to run into him??? that would be like George W happening to run into Bin Laden while at a bar in Pakistan.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 4:52PMThe news is reporting that Scotty is heartily laughing - Doug Von Allmen's "lifestyle" won't be changed that much and the folks at Ballamor Capital Management are smoking on the golf course, while the rest of us are left to wonder how to put our kids through college! Remorse may be asking too much, but can someone tell me if these pariahs who were instrumental in helping Scotty sell this ponzi scam ever acknowledge their culpability in this mess, or are these snake oil salesmen too busy working on the next con?
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 5:41PMWOW! How lucky can Bob be? Way to go Bob! Although SR said he will not answer answer any questions Bob found him talking any way. Imagine what he would have said after he downed those silver bullets with nothing but fries. SR is delusional and cannot help himself. Why in the world would he show up at CG. Maybe he had an agenda. He is truly his own worst enemy and has tripped over his own stick and will continue to do so. What a piece of work his lawyer is. Taking sharing drinks with his client in public mid-day. What does the Florida Bar say about impairing one's capacity to give proper advice and his client's capacity to understand the advice. Seems to me that they know what is imminently coming and were just killing time before the surrender, as well as licking their wounds knowing all the fruits of SR's greedy actions were being seized. SR must really be feeling it. You would think he would at least enjoy a nice steak at CG. And what putanas they are at CG. At least Ruth Madoff was given the bums rush at her haunts and treated like the anathema she and her husband are!
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 6:44PMToo bad for SR not being in dade. Down here the brain trust at the sao would slap him on the wrist, give him an ankle bracelet and send him on his way, more than likely with a warm seat on the Bars board of governors waiting for him.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 7:00PMa martini, a back rub, and some truffle fires would hit the spot... i am gonna wheel my bentley gt over to cap grille right now....
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 7:03PMmy bet is scott r is out with the fed's blessing- wired up- and looking to trap certain people into making admissions...
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 7:20PMKudos to you Bob, you are the bomb catching the psychotic ass in the Capital Grill drinking martinis.
This idiot did an interview tonight on Channel 7 with that morron Nurik next to him. First of all Nurik should be sued for malpractice, but I guess if Scotty paid me $750,000.00 I would let him do what he wants.
First piece of advice- Nurik take some of that money and get new caps, your teeth are a disgrace. Your mouth looks like the grill of a Mack truck. I'm gonna nick name you GRILL.
Second piece of advice- you have to withdraw from this case as it is a conflict. You were a key player in the firm and believe me you are a potential witness, beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. I know someone who plans on making a bar complaint against you in the next few days. No brag just fact.
Third piece of advice- you have knowledge that this money was obtained by fraud. You must return it and if you don't Bill Scherer is going after you and when he's done you will have no ass left.
OK- Bob Norman was right on the money. Scotty's uncle Bill, financial manager at the firm was using an AKA (Bill Brock). His real name is William Boockvor. Uncle Bill your guilty already pack your bag. You don't need a lawyer just a $3.00 bus ticket. But first tell me where the money is at, I promise I will watch it for you guys.
If any of you want to call Uncle Bill call him at 954-570-9533. If Aunty Mary Conboy answers the telephone tell her you want to talk to Uncle Bill. Uncle Bill since Scotty told Channel 7 that God was going to help him, I have one piece of advice for Uncle Bill, "the truth shall set you free".
Scotty just bought Harvey and Gay a brand new Corvette for Harvey and a new Cadillac for Gay. He got the cars from former friend Ted Morse (Ed Morse Cadillac and Ed Morse Chev).Scotty loaded up Gay with jewels from Levensons to the tune of a lot of $$$$.
Oh forgot to tell you Harvey and Gay are Scotty's mom and dad.
If you have any questions for them feel free to call them at 954-766-6065.
Scotty told Channel 7 that he was going to make everyone whole except for the ones that new it was a fraud. Scotty please tell us who the ones that had knowledge of this fraud. You owe it to us. Whats with the twitch, your face your body twitching. I think it's demons attempting to get out of your body when you drink those martinis.
If you have questions for Scotty feel free to call him at 954-607-2333.
Piece of advice for Scotty- stay the hell out of Fort Lauderdale, go to Palm Beach. Those off-duty Fort Lauderdale cops that were working for you (remember them). That are not to happy that you bounced their paychecks on them. They are waiting for your ass, especially after a couple of martinis.
Call Sheriff Lamberti's Executive Officer Lt. David Benjamin, remember him? He's the one that escorted you at Executive Airport when you were leaving with all those millions. Maybe he can protect you from FLPD. Sheriff Lamberti owes you after you gave him that stolen $200,000.00 for his campaignj. He even wrote on the picture he gave to you "your a great friend thanks for all of your support".
Well it's been a rough day but God do I love the attention. Remember how Patton loved war, I love the attention.
Don't shoot me I'm only the piano player.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 7:28PMHe's safe out in the public. As long as people can see him, no one will touch him. Now, WHERE THE FCUK IS THE FLORIDA MOTHERFCUKING BAR?!
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 7:55PMHonest to God, no one has the imagination to write this script.
This is like watching Godzilla trash Tokyo.
Somehow I am supposed to get work done between reading the Blogs. My furniture is not paid for and if it gets repossessed, I am blaming Bob Norman. (Great work!)
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 7:58PMP.S. I forgot to add a rambilng thought I had when I mentioned the silver bullets and their possible impact...Dorothy Parker once wrote ( do not hold me to it's accuracy )..."I love a martini, two at the most, three i'm under the table, four I'm under my host!" More rambin thoughts from this travellin troll may come later.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 8:03PMDoin' the right thing, I'm doin' the RIGHT THING!
This has to be a joke. How pathetic!
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 8:18PMDidn't they wait until after Madoff confessed before they started taking his 'possessions'? Why are they taking Scott's now?

Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 8:25PMI love the piano player and Bob Norman!!!! Scott Rott is going down and I love every minute of it. I was at the Ball he sponsored this spring and this jerkoff got up and gave the weirdest messed up 'motivational' speech...everyone in the audience was looking like WTF? is he talking about. It was a disgusting display of arrogance, flash, and overindulgence veiled under the umbrella of charity. This train wreck keeps on coming down the track...look out who is next chugg chugg chugg
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 8:30PMC-seven...maybe because SR folded like a house of cards. Also, please do not confuse facts vs ponzi theory as a whole...and please do not confuse a seasoned thief with a newbie thief...and most of all do not compare SR with Madoff scheme wise...compare him to Marc Dreier! Word of caution I would not compare him to anybody until his partners, et al are investigated as well. What is your point any way? You heard/saw the slug say himself he will do the right thing!

Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 8:37PMif he stole my $$$ i would seek an injunction preventing him from spending more than $5 on a drink. with tip, unless you want a pocket full of change- that is a $15 martini.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 8:40PM
First Nurik says he is not telling where Scottie is. Then has him appear at CG. Sounds like whatever he had to say or do is now done and all that is left is to see if he gets more than 10 years.
I am getting out the big golf umbrella as the sweat from Adler and the rest of the criminal enterprise is starting to pour. There will be singing this holiday season and it will not be Christmas carols.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 9:33PMare not getting repaid. they are getting served up instead. anyone who has a conversation with this guy is nuts
check out his last words on the channel 7 interview. if he has dirt on you....
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 9:40PMWhen all else fails try GOD. When he fails you...open wide, position at a 45 degree angle and ...! You nebishkite putz.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 9:54PMThe truth Seeker says:
I think a good point is Debra and the Law firm she works for ? I know so much info that would turn this case around but I am scared for my own safety and job , which I would be fired from. Debra always said that Tony was a bad person but the kids said something diff. and the day before the police arrest tony she goes out and buys a new house and car ?? thats not something I do when I just lost my best friend. enless I have just won the lottery. if you know what I mean. Tony might have know about it , but dont htink he was alone and I dont think he commited the murder!! Debra is not being looked in to becasue her Boss is so hi up in the Political realm of this state! Oh and by the way does anyone know who the rep lawyers firm is for the Plantaion police dept ? thats right Debras. and they turned every rock over for this case except debras .. debra had a lot to gain tony had evrything to lose .. YOU DO THE MATH

Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 9:54PMDoes the conflict go away just b/c Mark Nurick resigned from RRA ??? NO NO NO,
The Feds/US Attorney must have done a deal with mark and SR, for mark to keep his fees and deciding that they are not proceeds from a criminal enterprise, ie RICO RICO RICO,
Come on people put your thinking caps on. MN was an attorney for the firm RRA, the same firm that SR is going to give testimony against.
C-7 "I only put the microphones in about 7-8 months ago." *** There you go folks; SR just told us in cryptic terms he started working for the Feds 7-8 months ago.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 10:30PMSR is a dead man. You don't screw the Mob and get away with it. There are so many stories yet to be told. Scottie baby is a RAT and rat's don't live long .... Feds or no Feds.
Bob Norman is the bomb. What a great day this is for freedom of the press. Mainstream media wusses would never have had the guts to take this on. If this weren't true it would be totally unbelievable!
I'm lovin' piano player. Can't wait to one day know the real id's.
Posted On: Monday, Nov. 9 2009 @ 11:10PMWhat's with all the jews stealing from each other? From Commentary Magazine:
"Recent years have witnessed the indictment of major Israeli leaders on charges of embezzlement, taking bribes, money laundering, sexual harassment, and even rape. Young Israelis shun politics, which are widely perceived as cutthroat; the Knesset, according to annual surveys, commands the lowest level of respect of any state institution...The breakdown of public morality, in my view, poses the greatest single existential threat to Israel. It is this threat that undermines Israel’s ability to cope with other threats; that saps the willingness of Israelis to fight, to govern themselves, and even to continue living within a sovereign Jewish state. It emboldens Israel’s enemies and sullies Israel’s international reputation. The fact that Israel is a world leader in drug and human trafficking, in money laundering, and in illicit weapons sales is not only unconscionable for a Jewish state, it also substantively reduces that state’s ability to survive."

OY!
Only two years ago, the Florida Bar appointed Rothstein as vice chair of a grievance committee that hears ethics and other complaints against attorneys.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 12:03AMLucky the guy who got Rothstein weighing in as to his ethics. Bet no one got disbarred on his watch! Rothstein truly is "vice" chair, and will no doubt keep that post.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 12:18AMWell, if that doesn't add insult to injury. I'm so glad the rich greedy, dirty investors are going to be made whole again, meanwhile the staff is not getting paid for the last two weeks and this week coming up. The single mothers and employees that live paycheck to paycheck can't pay their rent this month. But at least Von Asshole and the other greedy fucks will get their money back. That's what's really important. Sorry your digs aren't 5 star SR - at least your belly is full with $15 martinis and you aren't on the street. Glad Debra still has the nice house you bought her Weston. Unbelievable. He will do a few years - if that - go pick up the millions and live the good life again. Is there any justice?
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 1:33AM"Cleared of any wrongdoing". We at the SAO can hardly make out the checks in Larry's handwriting, and besides! That may be Larry's handwriting, but the clearly the checks aren't made out TO LARRY SEIDLIN. And he said he doesn't even know Belinda Ray (seidlin, sometimes), Oren and Barbara Ray (he has in-laws by those names,yes, but he's told us that THOSE Rays aren't the same relatives HE has). HOT POTATO, HOT POTATO!Quick, clear the "old associate who has pictures on us", but just to make it look good, recommend the JQC review it. Unless, of course, he resigns from the bench to secure his pension, just in case some upstart like a "Bob Norman type" would ACTUALLY get involved and say WTF is THIS clear crime and cover-up?
The Judicial Qualifications Commission is an independent agency created by the Florida Constitution solely to investigate alleged misconduct by Florida state judges.
Just sayin'
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 1:40AMI wanna know when they're gonna get Von Allmen.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 7:30AMHard to feel sorry for the employees who have lost their jobs. How does one work @ SRR and not be party to the scam? Dumb,incompetent, blind or complicit? Working for the mob has its downside. Just be grateful for the 5 year dream ride and hope you don't get RICOed in.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 8:02AMIt is clear that he wants to be spotted. Why would he get a table at the first seat at the bar area right when you walk in? There are plenty of discreet places in the back of that restaurant. He may be thumbing his nose at society but society will have the last laugh.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 9:15AMI’m sure all the employees didn’t know…. That firm was on two floors and on one it had two wings… I’m sure some people never got more than a hello, ever.

What are you people waiting for? Call the digits!
OBTW dont shot my piano player or I'll kick your asses!
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 11:26AMi am pretty sure i just met the piano player in person...
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 11:46AMEvery employee of RRA should hire a criminal defence attorney. Our own little stimulus program. Lady Justice
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 11:47AMHow can He do the right thing? He doesn't even know what
"the right thing" is. I suppose it was the right thing to say adios to Melissa Lewis and to steal Billions of Dollars. One would think he would surround himself with family/friends
at a time like this, instead he is surrounding himself with liquor, body guards and a shark. That's Rothstein's world. Melissa Lewis R.I.P. Where IS his wife? Does anyone know?
Kimmie is at home trying to hide the jewels.But once the IRS gets the Levinson records they will know what was purchased and should be seized. I bet she also starts a diet and exercise program so she will look better for the next player.
Scottie gets 5 to 10. Gets out and goes back to Morroco to pay the vig and claim his cash and jewels. Then poetic justice kicks in and he somehow dies in a single car crash. Or he eats himelf to death.
Villagas and Boden "show me the money'!!
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 1:01PMWonder if the IRS will force the Levinsons to turn over the massive profits they made on the Rothstein jewels? Bet Scotty's "jewels" aren't looking so shiny right now!
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 2:54PMCG...a fake steak house for a fake human being. This place doesn't even have tonic from a bottle. Just the flat crap from the gun. "It was fizzy a while ago", sez the disinterested bartender. "Here's your drink back, then" sez jacksprat.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 3:30PMLevenson has a past of his own...I wonder if it will come out in all of this.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 3:41PMThe investors got conned here too!! The Levinson's, Ballamor CM, the Von Allmen's - they are all really smart people who don't deserve to be crucified by jealous wanna-be's!
Don't speak of which you don't know!!
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 4:56PMIf you want to reach Scott on his Blackberry - just email him - srothstein@rra-law.com. Then you can say all this stuff to him directly.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 5:52PMHey, Steve...I think maybe SR's email might be monitored. Besides, SR's already reading this stuff...he craves the attention.
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 7:12PMSo, when I go to CG do I axe for the Scottie or the Rothstein to get the massage?
Posted On: Tuesday, Nov. 10 2009 @ 7:52PMScott Rott stood on stage giving a wedding toast for the daughter of a car dealer friend, after the bridal party was introduced...it went something like this:
" When I was a kid in the Bronx, the guys would ask each other, 'Who's better than you?'...and we would answer loudly, 'NO FU--ng -body !"
Somehow, he thought this was relevant to this tender moment for the brides family and felt the F - word might be appropriate.
Let's ask Scott now, "who's better than you?"
....and we can all answer by saying ,
"EVERYBODY" !!!

I can't believe Scott was getting a backrub! "Oh poor Mr. Rothstein - media picking on him!"
The fact that this guy could show up at CG with no shame just goes to show he's still an arrogant SOB. So who do you think picked up the tab?
