Bodyguard: Uncle Bill Was Left in the Dark

As we await, ever so patiently, the feds to actually arrest more people involved in the Rothstein Ponzi (and they will), I wanted to share an interesting opinion from former RRA security man Bob Scandiffio.

Uncle Bill with Rothstein aide Ingrid Sahdala
Remember that Scandiffio was one of two close Scott Rothstein associates whom he invited to Morocco. The other was Bill Boockvor, who is better-known as Bill Brock and even better as just "Uncle Bill."

There's been a lot of speculation, including on this blog, about the role Uncle Bill may have played in Rothstein's felonious financial life. He was known, after all, as the guy whose role at RRA was to watch the money. Rothstein, though, told me when I interviewed him at the Captial Grille that Uncle Bill accompanied him to Casablanca for innocent reasons. "He only came with me to provide moral support," Rothstein said. "That was all. He has nothing to do with this."

Scandiffio says that, this time anyway, he believes Rothstein is telling the truth. The bodyguard says that he wasn't privy to the Ponzi either but that his former boss left Uncle Bill in the dark on just about everything.

"Uncle Bill had

nothing to do with any of it," Scandiffio told me. "He handled payroll at the firm, and he had to cover a lot of work. I don't think he ever handled the money in [the Ponzi scheme]. I think that was the other girls in the office. I don't think he ever knew what Scott was doing because we never talked with him about anything ever. Even when we were in Morocco, Scott still didn't talk around Uncle Bill. He always had to be out of the room."

We'll see, but if this is true, then Rothstein could claim an accomplishment in this mess: None of his family members will join him in prison. 

-- Mistakes were made. And this time I'm not talking about my own.

No wonder he's always smiling
The Sun-Sentinel actually made a real good one recently. In a story last weekend about the Dalai Lama visit, the newspaper reported on the Buddhist community in South Florida. Included was an interview with Martha Martinez, president of the Broward Lotus Sangha.

"We're multicultural, multiethnic, multisexual," the newspaper quoted Martinez as saying.

Now let's go to Urban Dictionary to see how multisexual is defined: "When you are not defined by straight, gay, or bisexual, you dont mind how or who you get it from as long as you get 'it.'"

How's that for some swinging Buddhists? Well, Martinez apparently never actually said that. The newspaper ran a correction on Tuesday.

"An article on Page 1 of Sunday's Local section incorrectly quoted Martha Martinez, president of the Broward Lotus Sangha. She said, 'We're multicultural and multiethnic; our membership also includes people of different faith groups and sexual minority groups.'"

The newspaper cleaned up the quote online, but dastardly Google is keeping it alive and well.

SR wouldn't talk about his scheme with BS in front of uncle Bill. That is not exactly exculpatory. SR was a liar and told people different stories. In order for his scams to work he couldn't let different parts of the scam communicate with each other. Also may be part of his plan. SR has established an alibi for uncle Bill.

Either way, I'm not buying the innocent uncle Bill story; NO SALE

Finally! Thank you.

Was glued to CNN waiting for the tsunami to make it to Hawaii. Like watching water boil.

I actually just got our city tsunami warning here by phone and email. Only came 2-3 hours late; several hours AFTER the tsunami was supposed to hit here! Typical.

Outside Observer says:

Speaking of unscheduled international trips, it appears that another south Florida attorney is MIA and believed to have fled the country is a Fort Meyers charmer named Joseph Troiano. Why is this potentially interesting ? Troiano represented a real estate development in Costa Rica which purchased land from a RRA client. So where did the money for the initial purchase money come from ? It's doubtful this nickel and dime client had this amount of moolah.

It now appears that Troiano has flown the coop and is sending unpostmarked letters to an investigative reporter in Fort Meyers("Tell Mel") . The sweet spot here is that when Troiano fled , he abandoned all his files and another law firm has taken possession of all his former clients' files. Perhaps the RRA receiver Herbert Stettin might want to poke around here. If there is an RRA connection with Troiano, start spelling B-I-N-G-O for at least a $15,000,000 pot. Maybe a dry hole, but Pulp's investigative muscle might strike paydirt here. There is a plausible reason to suspect a connection. "Tell Mel", while well intentioned, is likely beyond her depth ( judging by her posts ). Consider this a test of the "post Lynn" era. Grisham can't make this stuff up. Ain't the web wonderful ?

I agree with Godfather3. I think Uncle Bill knew alot more than Rothstein claims. He traveled on the plane with him to Morroco was he asked to leave the room? By his own admission he "watched the money". I don't think he knew of the entire scope of the Ponzi, but I think he was aware there were shady dealings going on and would do anything his nephew asked of him. His hands are not clean!

William Boockver aka Uncle Bill is without doubt innocent of any knowledge of the scheme to extract monies from innocent people. Mr. B was outside the loop. He was simply at RRA to make sure that the operating account would cover the checks written. That is all.

Mr. B. traveled with SR at SR's request to keep him company. He was not part of S.R.'s attempt to rid the South Florida area of those that created this scam. S.R.'s only sin was that he allowed himself to be used by the most evil of individuals.

Uncle Bill reminds me of my pretend mutha, Ms. Kasla, because I often kept her in the dark.

I would say, "Dear, sign this check and sit here in the dark and rest your eyes while I go to the bank."


And wouldn't you know it, upon my return from the bank and the mall, she would still be sitting in the same chair I had left her in 5 hours earlier.


So I do believe Bobby S. because he can tell when people are being kept in the dark.

Jews Stealing Again - Will They Never Stop Robbing Us?

Long Island hedge fund, NIR Group, probed in plot to inflate asset value

The criminal investigation into NIR Group looks like a Madoff copycat scheme to defraud investors by overstating the value of assets. Investigators are also probing allegations of kickbacks

(AXcess News) New York - After a two-year long probe by federal and state authorities, the WSJ revealed earlier today that Long Island-based hedge fund NIR Group is being criminally investigated over its alleged misrepresentation of asset valuation to its investors. At the heart of the probe is Mr. Corby Ribotski who heads up the fund.

Bernie Madoff Junior?

Ribotski has come under fire over his handling of investor assets which in 2008 where held up to investors as being worth $780 million. The Journal story said that the hedge fund operator portrayed his fund "as having eight straight years of profits, beginning in 2001," though authorities are now questioning the fund manager's figures ever since NIR Group has been unable to find anyone who would provide a third-party valuation, let alone audit NIR Group's 2008 yearend results.

MODEL CITIZEN

I want to thank you for thinking about me.
You are a true friend and mentch.
I just returned from listening to the Ganatseh Migilah Of Purim.

There I was, reading along while wearing my home made Jewish Avenger cape and mask when a child approached me asked about my Jewish Avenger "superhero" costume.
At first I was taken aback by the question.
It was then that I realized for the first time, what kind of profound effect
'Rothstein The Benevolent' has has on my life. I just smiled.

How in god's name could I tell this sweet child no different than Scott Rothstein's beautiful daughter who was forced to flee her Florida home with her mother in disgrace and poverty the truth. About how he was fucking Kim (his soon to be converted Jewess wife of only 574 days) while at the same time he was Viagraing himself hoping to 'puff up' his circumcised penile tissue while stroking the innards of whores, prostitutes, sluts, skanks, bar wenches and any gentile girl who he could bought and pay for like a piece of discounted meat reduced for quick sale.
The part about the Ferraris, Bentleys, Jets, Real Estate, $5,000.00 pens, Yachts, Cohibas, Golden shitters etc, were all too much for a young child, so I let it slide.

I did however draw some interesting parallels between the story of Purim and SR.

The King of Persia during the 6th Century BCE was King Ahasurus. He only wanted a HOT and to die for babe since there is no mention of personality etc. According to the story, he hand picked a to die for Jewess by the name of Esther who became his Hot Queen. Similar yet different to our very own Brilliant disbarred JD who is languishing behind bars. Scotty also demanded Hot Ass all the time and with his billion dollars of stolen money could pay for it. He was looked upon by by many in Fort Lauderdale as a "King" with a golden touch.
Think about it...President Bush, Governors from Florida and California, Heads of Government and Law Enforcement, the business elite etc, all came calling and were humlbed before his Royal Highness.

Like King Ahasurus, the Chabad Of Downtown Fort Lauderdale Benefactor picked the of fairest maidens or the closest facsimile available to him at the time. KIM Wendell.What she lacked in the looks department her 'King' remedied through plastic surgery. The Colonel, like the King Of Persia did not concern himself about personality, charity work etc.just a tight ass in high heels that can gyrate her crack like a nobody's business.


Haman was the mean guy in the story who wanted to destroy the Jewish people but Queen Esther managed to saved the day. Like Haman, 'The Irishman of the Year' not only destroyed many a Jewish investor he destroyed anyone and everyone who came in his path be it an Italian Restaurateur or a beautiful and vibrant women who was found without vital signs.

While walked home from synagogue and gnawing on a prune filled Hamantash that I pocketed when nobody was looking, a famous quote from George Santayana came to mind,
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it".

Bodyguard: Uncle Bill Was Left In The Dark
By Bob Norman Sat., Feb. 27 2010 @ 2:37PMAs we await, ever so patiently, the feds to actually arrest more people involved in the Rothstein ponzi (and they will), I wanted to share an interesting opinion from former RRA security man Bob Scandiffio.


Uncle Bill in happier times
​ ​Remember that Scandiffio was one of two close Cott Rothstein associates who he invited to Morocco. The other was Bill Boockvor, who is better known as Bill Brock, and even better known as just "Uncle Bill."

There's been a lot of speculation, including on this blog, about the role Uncle Bill may have played in Rothstein's felonious financial life. He was known, after all, as the guy whose role at RRA was to watch the money. Rothstein, though, told me when I interviewed him at the Captial Grille, that Uncle Bill accompanied to Casablanca for innocent reasons. "He only came with me to provide moral support," Rothstein said. "That was all. He has nothing to do with this."

Scandiffio says that, this time anyway, he believes Rothstein is telling the truth. The bodyguard says he wasn't privy to the Ponzi either, but that his former boss left Uncle Bill in the dark on just about everything.

"Uncle Bill had

nothing to do with any of it," Scandiffio told me. "He handled payroll at the firm and he had to cover a lot of work. I don't think he ever handled the money in [the Ponzi scheme]. I think that was the other girls in the office. I don't think he ever knew what Scott was doing because we never talked with him about anything ever. Even when we were in Morocco, Scott still didn't talk around Uncle Bill. He always had to be out of the room."

We'll see, but if this is true then Rothstein could claim an accomplishment in this mess: None of his family members will join him in prison.

-- Mistakes were made. And this time I'm not talking about my own.


No wonder he's always smiling
​The Sun-Sentinel actually made a real good one recently. In a story last weekend about the Dalai Lama visit, the newspaper reported on the Buddhist community in South Florida. Included was an interview with Martha Martinez, president of the Broward Lotus Sangha.

"We're multicultural, multiethnic, multisexual," the newspaper quoted Martinez as saying.

Now let's go to the Urban Dictionary to see how multisexual is defined: "When you are not defined by straight, gay, or bisexual, you dont mind how or who you get it from as long as you get 'it.'"

How's that for some swinging Buddhists? Well, Martinez apparently never actually said that. The newspaper ran a correction on Tuesday.

"An article on Page 1 of Sunday's Local section incorrectly quoted Martha Martinez, president of the Broward Lotus Sangha. She said, 'We're multicultural and multiethnic; our membership also includes people of different faith groups and sexual minority groups.'"

The newspaper cleaned up the quote online, but dastardly Google is keeping it alive and well.

The only piece that is not in the puzzle yet is whether SR gets 5 yrs or 100+.

If Tiger Woods’ Apology Was Honest

* By: Daniel O'Brien, Huffington Post
* February 26th, 2010


Good afternoon, members of the Press, Friends, Family, President of the Nike Corporation, CEO of Buick, Mom and fans across the world. I come before you today to answer for my actions, and I plan on doing that. I want to first thank you all for coming and supporting me during this, for the sake of argument, “difficult” time. All of your letters of encouragement have been very comforting, I guess.

I know all the parts that we’re supposed to play. You’re all doing an excellent job of being absolutely mortified that I’m human, and I’m supposed to come out and talk about how confused and profoundly damaged I must be. But instead of all that, I’d like to, for once, talk about an adult situation like an adult to a bunch of other adults. Hopefully, by the end of my speech, you’ll understand why I did what I did, and we’ll all be able to move passed this.

I’m Tiger Woods

Think about that. Really let it sink in. You know who I am even if you probably can’t name a single other golfer (athletes/actors-turned golfers and Greg Norman don’t count). I am Tiger Woods. It takes giant balls to say to your friends one day, “Hey, from now on my name is ‘Tiger’” and actually pull it off. And I did, because I have ‘em.

There are people out there, men, who say they would never do what I did. I appreciate your display of what you think is honor and integrity, but I’m going to be straight with you: You cannot make that claim until you’ve lived like Tiger Woods for a few months. And, brother, you have not. I am the only person on this planet who knows what it’s like to be Tiger Woods. It is a hard, lonely and, yes, ass-filled world. You might think you see temptation from coworkers, or friends or ex-girlfriends, and you may have resisted them all. But being Tiger Woods enters you into a brand new world of temptation, things you couldn’t even imagine. I’m the captain of the football team of the universe.

I can’t stress how easy these women make incognito fucking. I’ll find them waiting in my hotel room, already in my bed and swearing they’ll never tell anyone about this and they’ll be gone in the morning. A naked chick, in my bed, saying, “No one will find out, I just want to have sex with you one time and then I’ll be on my way.” You can’t even imagine a scenario where that happens for you, and it happens to me multiple times a day. Women break into my limo while it’s moving and try to have sex with me. Have you ever tried to push a half-naked 19-year-old out of the sun roof of a moving limousine? Of course you haven’t. One time on the course I reached into the hole to retrieve my ball and there was a titty in there. I still don’t know how she got in there, she must’ve been waiting underground for days. I mean, how did she even breathe?

But I’m straying. My point is, I’m in a culture that screams my name and elevates me to God-like status because I’m dynamite at golfing, and I’m surrounded by gorgeous women who make it so easy to have sex with them I’d be stupid not to. It’s easy for you to turn down hypothetical sex with a cute woman you see on the subway who might be flirting with you. Sometimes I wake up and women are already fucking me somehow. 10,000 miles from home, could you turn that down? You don’t know how to answer because it isn’t part of your reality.

Of course you wouldn’t have made the same moves I made: We’re playing two different games.

I’ve Earned This

For two reasons. To begin with, you made me this way, America. You wanted a superstar, somebody to put on a pedestal. You don’t even want a really good golfer, you want an inhumanly good golfer, the best in history. I wanted to make a living doing something I liked, but you wanted me to be the greatest. So fine, I’ll do that. I’ve broken every golf record, I’m athlete of the year, athlete of the decade, hell, I got a hole-in-one in real golf. This stuff is certainly difficult but I do it. And I put up with how badly society wants me to be the Golf God, but there’s got to be a give and take, right? You want a superhero, so I’ll be one, fine. Just so long as I can get some fucking done on the side. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. The media follows me every day to see what I’m doing. People come up to me on the street and tell me I’m the greatest. If I’m so great, shouldn’t I be fucking something? I think you see my point.

Additionally, you may not know this, but my real name is Eldrick Tont Woods. Say it out loud. Look in the mirror and introduce yourself as Eldrick Tont, and see if you don’t want to beat you up. Do you think I scored a lot of ass in high school being a golf-loving, black/Asian/Indian kid named Eldrick? That’s not a boy’s name, I sound like some kind of goddamned forest mage.

Do you know how many sorority sisters were chasing after dudes who read Golf Digest and idolized Jack Nicklaus? Fucking zero. “Oooh, Eldrick, your putting makes me so hot. Can you show me your Junior World Golf Championship medals again?” Bullshit. A mixed race, giant-toothed kid in Orange County, the whitest place on the planet, who had weird hobbies? Don’t tell me I didn’t earn as much porking as I can get my hands on.

My Marriage

Look, I’ll be straight with you. My marriage is… fine, sure. I don’t want to talk a lot of shit on my marriage, but at the end of the day, she’s a Swedish model who married a professional athlete worth over a hundred million dollars. Terrific girl. Would we have met and married if I wasn’t Tiger Woods? Or if she wasn’t a Swedish model? I don’t know, but probably not. Do you know why she came to America? On the advice of another Swedish model who was married to a golfer. It’s just sort of how things go. And to begin with, when your marriage lives and dies in the media, the sanctity of that marriage is ultimately, at best, shaky. There will always be doubt on both sides, because the circumstances by which we came together are so suspect. “He only likes me because I’m a model,” “She only likes me because I’m Tiger Woods.”

And stop feeling sorry for her. She’s fucking Tiger Woods in one of her many luxurious mansions. She’s doing fine. And, at any rate, what does it matter? As far as your golf-watching experience goes, what does it even matter? Did you watch me, buy my games and enjoy my commercials because I ruled ass at golf, or because you thought I was faithfully sticking it only to my wife?

Sex is Awesome and I’m Great At It

Look, we’re all adults here. This doesn’t need to turn into a farce. I know for a fact that if I claim this is a problem, and if I check into rehab for any period of time, every single person who is currently mad at me will forgive me unconditionally. Some of you will support me even harder, because our culture loves comeback stories. I know that all it takes is a few weeks in a resort-like rehab clinic. You don’t need a doctor to say I’m cured, you don’t need a report detailing my recovery, you don’t need to any kind of verifiable proof whatsoever that suggests I’ve changed in any way. You just need to physically see me walk in and out of a building that says “Rehab” on the side and that is literally all you’d need to forgive me.

As easy as that is, I’m not going to do it for two reasons. For one, it’s just a shallow, ridiculous play that I want no part of. It’s like a puppet show for adults. The reason puppet shows are entertaining when you’re a kid is because you can’t see the strings. Once you see the strings, the magic’s gone and you’re just watching a guy playing with dolls and going through the motions. How is that a rewarding experience?

And beyond that, I’m not a sex addict. I’m just not. It’s not a disease I suffer from, it’s not a problem, it’s never physically hurt in any way I didn’t want it to hurt. I just really, really like it.

And I’m really, really good at it. I don’t want to say I’m the best, just yet. A few people have been calling me “the Tiger Woods of fucking,” and that might be a bit premature, but I don’t think it’s too far off, either. I certainly want to be the best, and I won’t rest until I am, but for now I’m just a guy who really likes putting my dick in things. Any guy in the audience pretending he isn’t the exact same way is a dirty, filthy liar.

And finally,

I am Tiger Woods

"I don't think he ever knew what Scott was doing because we never talked with him about anything ever."

This is such a wierd sentence. And unbelievable. So we're to believe that Scott never spoke with Uncle Bill, a trusted family member who was also integral to RRA & to Scott - about nothing more than the weather? This also implies that Uncle Bill was a dummy - that he had no interest in the company or environment that he worked within, and therefore limited his conversation (and his curiousity) to nothing more than superficialities? Sounds like he was vacant, with eyes and ears closed. Even Bobby who said he didn't know a Ponzi was going on, admitted to having a "feel" that SR was up to no good. (forget his exact words) Uncle Bill didn't either, when he was privy to so much? No sale.

The only thing that the naive and trusting part of me could fathom is that SR used Bill as "the money man" and because he was family, protected him from knowing too much. But would SR really be able to pull that off over time? Hard to imagine.

Cheese Fries & Anon (7:15pm) hit it on the head. "We" does imply knowledge. Maybe a little more detail about what Bobby meant is needed.

If that is true, Uncle Bill certainly had 'guilty knowledge' of the scam. Do you remember where you saw that he had access to all the codes?

Posted On: Saturday, Feb. 27 2010 @ 11:30PM
Christy says:

@ Cetaceani 1

Yes here:

Rothstein's uncle, Bill ``Brock'' Boockvor -- who traveled with Rothstein in late October to Casablanca as the bank investment scandal unfolded -- also had access to secret computer passwords for the investors' accounts, as did two other employees at Rothstein's now-defunct law firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, sources said.

@ Ceta 1

This is why #3 might be Irene Stay..

Rothstein's law partner, Stuart Rosenfeldt, assembled a team including the law firm's chief financial officer, Irene Stay, to answer the deluge of investors' calls over the Halloween weekend. When Stay refused to provide confirmation of the amounts in the investors' trust accounts, the suit says, she ``began inconsolably crying [and] repeating the phrase, `I don't want to go to jail.' ''

Stay, also named as a new defendant in the suit, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

You are probably right but it is hard to imagine with SR's total disregard for women that he would lay his trust in them so completely. Maybe Uncle Bill was the real back up being male/family.

Let me err on the side of caution.

Since almost everyone who has been directly or indirectly associated with Mrs. Rothstein's criminal element son is either a piece of shit, criminal, lowlife, bum, scammer, thief or con let us give Mr. Bill Boockvor the benefit of the doubt and assume he to falls within one of the above listed categories.

At the very minimum 'Uncle Bob' is a sycophant who wanted to be close 'to the action' for a chance to cash in on some 'spin off' that may happen to land in their lap.

Let's not forget that many an opportunist were riding the Colonel's coat tails seeking fame and fortune which eventually resulted in their own demise.

Mr. Cohiba had no redeeming or endearing qualities that have been published to date. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that 'friendships' forged with the disbarred lawyer were nothing more than transient business transactions. Uncle Bob is one of those type of "friends' because Mrs. Rothstein's "Brilliant" son his incapable of anything else.

Model Citizen

Thank you for the post at 11:27 PM. I would have missed that, if not for the excellence displayed here by those who are considerate to the others commenting on the Bob Norman Blog. I mean the shared excellence, that is, except for that earlier rabble rousing between Anonymous, and Anonymous, and Anonymous, whoever he, she, it, or they are.

If I didn’t know any better, I would say that the posting is done by one person who has the destruction of the camaraderie of this fellowship as an ultimate outcome. This particular person appears to have posted under a variety of nom de guerre at other sites on this Blog. It may be that these dirty tricks are to make those who are regulars want to go elsewhere, and the actions seem to be scripted to slant the way that a story may be perceived. I believe that some of you may want to rethink how to not be distracted by this particular hooligan, who takes advantage of certain misconceptions of those who post comments. This person expects to be misidentified, and many have played into the hands of this dirty trickster.

After reading the above article, I felt that I needed to comment about the trip to Morocco taken by Scott Rothstein the day after he had attended to a private audience with the POTUS in Miami -- an event that Roger Stone has come out first to say happened. Since Roger was at this Democratic Party event, it makes sense that he would bring it out before his exposure was brought out by another.

I could not help but notice that this particular article concerned a trip to Morocco taken by Scott Rothstein and a person named Bill Boockvor, o/k/a Uncle Bill. According to the article, Rothstein stated that “Uncle Bill accompanied to Casablanca for innocent reasons. “He only came with me to provide moral support””. Rothstein closed his presentation with the statement “He has nothing to do with this”. The other person mentioned in the article, Bob Scandiffio, was almost word-for-word in agreement with his former boss [Rothstein], when declaring “Uncle Bill had nothing to do with any of it”. Scandiffio further opined “I don’t think he ever knew what Scott was doing because we never talked with him about anything ever. Even when we were in Morocco, Scott still didn’t talk around Uncle Bill. He always had to be out of the room”. Which statements and declarations tend to make one wonder what the denial has to do with knowledge -- who is the one with knowledge, and knowledge of what?

I remembered the story consisting of another detail man by the name of Ahnich Khalid. Mr. Norman reported “When Rothstein made his strange trip to Morocco as his Ponzi scheme was falling apart, it was Khalid whom he used as his entree to Casablanca. Khalid flew to Morocco with Rothstein and Rothstein’s uncle, Bill Boockvor, on October 27 and spent six days serving basically as a guide for Rothstein in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakesh before the Ponzi schemer’s dramatic return November 2”, at http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2009/12/scott_rothstein_in_morocco.php

The article never mentioned Bob Scandiffio, even though Ahnich Khalid, the person giving the account, talked about accompanying Rothstein almost everywhere in that foreign land. The whereabouts and adventures taken by Uncle Bill were not noted. Furthermore, there is no mention as to whom Rothstein had expected to visit in [Casablanca, Rabat, or] Marrakesh. During that time (of Saturday and Sunday, [with no attempt to leave to visit Kerzner’s Resort in El Jadida]), Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State for the United States and prominent member of the Democratic Party, was also in town. (Upon seeing a picture of a prominent Buddhist, another story can be revealed involving those closest to the husband of Hillary Clinton, when Buddhist Monks of the His Lai Temple in Los Angeles, California were used in a money funneling scam to the Democratic National Committee and Bill Clinton was the POTUS. Please see http://www.realchange.org/gore.htm#buddhist)

The article did not address the bag man who safely delivered Rothstein and several bags [of cash, possibly] to a waiting [already to-that-date chartered] Gulfstream 5 jet, a Broward Sheriff’s Deputy that had become part of Rothstein’s organization -- through his [servant to master agency] action and addition to a 401K plan outside of his own pension building under the legitimate plan for State of Florida employees. Whether or not this public servant contemplated the punishment for his criminal acts, this Deputy surely must have understood that a gift of roughly thirty thousand dollars [that can be proven by any competent prosecutor] for his own set-up in business expenses could be traceable and would be able to bring him down in the same way that a little off-the-books brought down others entertaining a similar type of adventure in a criminal enterprise -- others like Al Capone and his ilk.

This story is beginning to reveal the cracks, and the narrators of the previous stories [given to Mr. Norman] should be asked to tell their tales anew. The discrepancies should prove most interesting to those who seek the Truth. (Remember.) The Trail to and from Morocco is strewn with money. The Truth will be revealed if one just follows the money.

Sometime in December, Godfather3 had related the facts that Bob Scandiffio had once been a Law Enforcement Officer and had been born in Fort Lauderdale. Since that time, all of those posting on Mr. Norman’s Blog have learned that the bodyguard, Scandiffio, flew to Casablanca after Rothstein had arrived in Morocco, and, purportedly, only after Rothstein had subsequently sent for Scandiffio [and wired money for the flight]. When Scandiffio was in Morocco, he has admitted that he interacted with Uncle Bill. Should he not have also had some type of interaction with Ahnich Khalid? Khalid talks about the many places that he went with Rothstein. What are the odds that Scandiffio never accompanied Rothstein anywhere when he had left the country to work as a bodyguard for Rothstein? While the talk is about Morocco, is it not possible that Rothstein, or any person traveling with him, or Rothstein together with one or more of these traveling companions left Morocco to sojourn for a time in another country?

Another bodyguard, Frankie DiGiovanni, was said to have been first hired as a driver for Rothstein. In the article about this bodyguard, he told Bob Norman that he was being treated for cancer at Jackson Memorial Hospital. He said that he worked for Rothstein as a courier. Several of the people commenting on this Blog have said that the computers from Rothstein’s office, containing critical information, had been removed [prior to IRS-CID or members from Justice arriving to do their job] by the driver, but no one has identified the driver. Could the driver be Frankie D?

Are both Scandiffio and DiGiovanni being treated for cancer? If so, and they were under the employ of the law firm, do they still have the coverage to treat their medical problems, or is the Bankruptcy Court going to put either one or both into an untenable situation, where treatment can only be had if one should agree to testify [to whatever is needed to be heard]?

Was Rothstein paying the Fort Lauderdale Police Department for protection or were there others paying for the protection of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department to watch over their investment, one Scott W. Rothstein?

Vey as mehr anoooder Jewish ponzimmonster mit da name Schmickler no less - when will this end, these peepopls are ripping us off left and right, ups n downs. Maybe the ICW Nice Lady Mit da Dude On The Side can shed sum light on a most disturbping siiation.

A disbarred D.C. lawyer has been accused of depositing $2.4 million in counterfeit checks at Washington-area banks.

Howard R. Shmuckler allegedly deposited the checks between April and October 2005, according to court documents unsealed in D.C.'s federal court charging him with bank fraud.

The FBI says Shmuckler spent six months in 2005 passing counterfeit checks to area banks. According to an affidavit, Shmuckler deposited 11 checks supposedly written to him from various companies like California software giant Oracle USA, Inc. and the National Bank of Canada. The checks were returned by the companies as fakes, the affidavit said.

Calls to Shmuckler's attorney were not immediately returned.

Shmuckler is best known in the Washington region for allegedly running an illegal mortgage modification program.

In December, the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation issued a cease-and-desist order to the Vienna-based Shmuckler Group. The order accused Shmuckler and two other men of collecting more than $1.2 million in fees on a promise that was never kept of helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. The department says they charged 372 Maryland homeowners an average of $3,440, but only obtained loan modifications for about 25 percent of their clients. They then refused to provide refunds.

Shmuckler has a criminal history dating back to 1996, when he pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud after he hid a Jaguar convertible and other assets from creditors.

Following his conviction, he was banned from practicing law in California, but it took another decade for the case to catch up to him in D.C..

Shmuckler joined the D.C. bar in 1985, but was placed on administrative suspension from 1987 to 2004 because he wasn't keeping up with his dues, D.C. bar records show. In 2004, he paid what he owed and was reinstated without informing the bar board of his California legal problems.

When the criminal conviction came to the bar's attention in 2007, Shmuckler was suspended and then disbarred in July 2009 for committing a crime that involve moral turpitude, the bar board wrote in its decision.

Shmuckler was arrested on bank fraud charges on Feb. 19 and released on personal recognizance.

Sick of South Florida Corruption says:

I have really enjoyed this blog the last few months and I really think a lot of good has come from this blog. It is with a heavy heart that I write this post but things have been nagging at me all weekend. At first I wanted to give Bob the benefit of the doubt, but upon reflection, his breach of ethics is too great to tolerate and I will now lay out the case for why Bob Norman needs to resign /be removed/ be replaced from the Daily Pulp.

THE SCHERER PAYOFF

The evidence is clear by now that Bob was being paid off by Bill Scherer. Given the choice to stick with Scherer or with Bob, Lyn Evans chose Scherer. I think that speaks volume as to where her loyalties lie. Whether it was a direct payoff in the form of Lyn Evans bringing more than just information i.e bundles of cash or an indirect payoff whereby Bob was getting use of Lyn based on Attorney Scherer’s paying her really is irrelevant and might just be something for the authorities to investigate. The former might be criminal, the latter a major breach of any kind of journalistic standard but either way, all of Bob’s reporting on Rothstein is tainted. How is Bob’s reporting tainted one might wonder? Scherer is just a lawyer who happens to have a sleazy reputation who is representing one investor who lost money in the Rothstein scam. What is the harm in him unduly influencing Bob? Bob argues that he has gone after Scherer on other cases which shows he is not on the take from Scherer. However, he has NOT gone after Scherer in one very BIG, important case and that’s the Scott Rothstein fraud. Scherer is not just any lawyer in this case but a central figure in the Rothstein case and in fact Chairman of the creditors committee. Surely Bob knows this, doesn’t he? The following lays out the evidence of how badly Bob’s reporting has been tainted and also illustrates how deeply Norman has been corrupted by Bill Scherer.

Exhibit A- There is a great money grab going on by fleeced and allegedly fleeced investors which in effect pits all investors against eachother. Scherer knows this and his modus operandi has been to sue whoever he can and discredit all other investors he is not representing. Bob gets paid off and starts digging up dirt on every investor…nothing really wrong there… that is what Bob does well but there’s one problem. One name is missing from Bob’s hit list and his name is Doug Von Allmen. You don’t get where Von Allmen is in life without stepping on a few toes and making some mistakes. Yet, Bob is silent on Von Allmen. Why? I think it’s pretty clear it’s because Bob was on the take from Scherer. Incidentally, even the whale George Levin has been getting off somewhat lightly recently based on his central role on funding the scam. Sure there were one or two hammering blogs earlier but recently, George has gotten sort of kid gloves compared to what you would expect for the whale. That’s because Levin is not a threat to Scherer anymore in recovering any money because Levin is so deep into this thing he is not recovering any money for himself but is going to have to give any money recovered to investors who invested in his fund or lent money to his Banyon entity. Bob has gone after those who have lent money and invested in Banyon entities and uncovered dirt on many of them but not one prominent funder who funded Banyon for a reported 100 million. Doug Von Allmen, the man whose lawyer Bob is on the take from.

Exhibit B- Ths Szafranski case against Scherer. Szafranski’s case against Scherer related to the fact that Szafranski interviewed Scherer as a potential lawyer and thought he had an attorney client privileged relationship with him. Scherer took the information Szafranski provided to him and used it to sue him. Mike Szafranski hardly deserves sympathy in this case. His emails to Rothstein, while perhaps taken out of context, still look awfully bad. However, as a progressive person in a progressive country, I know that everyone deserves attorney client privilege. It is the absolute bedrock of our system. Speak to anyone in the legal community and they will tell you that only in South Florida where there is no rule of law does that complaint get dismissed. Bob normally goes after everyone with equal vigor. He could still have kept hammering Szafranski while still going after Scherer for his corruption on this one issue. The judge’s ridiculous verdict could have been equal fodder. However, Bob did not go after Scherer or the judge for their obvious corruption. Why? Well, it’s because as we now know Bob was on the take from Scherer.

Exhibit C- Scherer’s own ties to Rothstein. These ties have not been explored one iota. When Rothstein was riding high what were the interactions between the two? Is this not a juicy topic? Did the Chairman of the creditors committee do business with Rothstein? This would seem to be ripe ground for Bob to explore but alas, there was no investigation done. Could the Scherer payoffs have had something to do with it?

Bob, I’m sorry but it is time for you to go back, reflect, and try to learn from this experience as to how you can improve as a person and as a journalist. Only then might you deserve a second chance. This is not one you get to just apologize for "perception" of wrongdoing. Hopefully New Times can find a replacement who can go after corruption with the same vigor this blog has become accustomed to but someone who is not tainted by fraud and corruption in the manner that Bob Norman obviously is. Bob, do yourself a favor and resign..otherwise the folks at New Times should make the decision for you. I know a lot of you have strong feelings for Bob and I have my own mixed emotions but the time has come for him to go.

Bob, do yourself a favor and resign..otherwise the folks at New Times should make the decision for you. I know a lot of you have strong feelings for Bob and I have my own mixed emotions but the time has come for him to go.

I completely disagree. Pulp is human. I was a loud voice in criticizing the hiring of Lyn. I do think Pulps motives were pure. Get an insider to help do report on the story. The problem is as with every insider they often have an agenda.

Pulp has proven his dedication to fighting corruption. He has sources that provide him info. We know that Scherer, Lyn and Sheila Alu are sources. It is the source's opponents who want to silence him. Perhaps those who have articles written about them, but either way the ones who want Pulp silenced have an agenda.

I for one wear my F5 shirt proudly.

@ g3 You know, that's the same argument people who steal and committ frauds use..look at all the good I did with the money. I am not arguing that Bob has not fought corruption in the past but that doesn't take away the fact that he is part of the fraud in relation to Scherer. There might be an agenda in the Pulp's opponents...it is for that very reason he needed to keep his hands clean ...but with Scherer I think it's clear they are not. Fact- He benefited from Scherer relationship more than just "information". Fact- In return he steered the story to benefit Scherer. It's a very simple case and inexcusable. I'm not really sure what the defense can be other than someone who has enthusiastically gone after fraud in the past is absolved from committing fraud himself? I don't think so.

Wow. That ridiculous diatribe was pulled from a place even darker than your own ass, perhaps your large intestine or a section of your bowel where an undigested portion of a Checkers burger has been housed since 1993.


In any event, despite your ability to write in English, that entire post was complete and utter bullshit. Nice attempt to discredit Pulp with not a scintilla of evidence, circumstantial or otherwise.

By the way, Pulp has literally savaged Levin, and perhaps he doesn't have the goods on Von Allmen, or has decided to lay off for now in exchange for valuable insider information on other topics. Either way, that is not tantamount to being paid off as you opined.

Further, by all objective accounts, that Mikey Skevinski motion to remove Scherer was frivolous on it's face. Any asshole that interacts with you for five minutes can claim they thought you were their attorney. That was a transparent ploy to remove someone from the case that they fear, namely Scherer.

Enjoy your Sunday and an ever so slight nod for the effort. I have enough experience in analysis to know that you didn't believe a word of what you wrote. I'd educate you as to how I know, but I don't have time.

The point is if you are in the same position as Pulp is, or any intelligence gathering expert, sometimes you have to operate in the gray areas.

The alternative is to steer clear of any potential problem scenarios, in which case you become just another clueless vanilla corporate journalist, who follows the AP wire.

Real journalists are no different than real intelligence gathering experts. Sometimes to obtain information that no one else has, you have to take certain risks.

It certainly doesn't mean you are on the take.

If I thought your arguement was true, I'd say so. I just don't buy the premis. I believe Pulp would hammer Lyn, Scherer, or Alu when given an opportunity. Even with a friendly relashionship, I think he would hammer them if they crossed the line.

I just disagree. That is a pretty outragous claim (to say pulp was bribed to slant stories) without any evidence. I don't know what NT was paying Lyn but she is being overpaid to work for Scherer. Its an easy decision for her to make. I do think her motives are less than honorable but that doesn't equal pulp is on the take.

It just really bothers me. I think Bob is a good person whose heart is generally in the right place and he is an animal when pursuing corruption. That is why it is so patently obvious that something is up when he lays off someone completely. When the Lyn thing came out, that was proof enough for me. I have no connection but I have friends who are lawyers in Ft Lauderdale. Scherer is one rung above Rothstein in terms of reputation.

Scherer has his own Agenda, did you read this article

from 2008?

By Bob Norman

"This looks like a power play by an old guard GOP force (Scherer) against the new Republican kid on the block (Rothstein). Scherer, after all, is a bit on the outs these days. Jeb Bush removed him as general counsel at the North Broward Hospital District (the Pulp takes a bow) and of course there is no love lost between Scherer and Crist since Scherer strongly backed Tom Gallagher in the last gubernatorial primary".

This could pave the way for Scherer's return to big dog status, or it could only alienate him further from the heart of local Republican power. Either way, it should be a helluva thing to watch.

When my friend moved to Broward and opened his display store in Griffins' Loft that is when the harrassment really began. Like it was a police sting operation. They sent in women to try and get his attention. The first woman said her parents owned the Polish American club. The second woman was a crop duster in Tallahassee. He passed.
Then it was one of the gay male owners who all of a sudden had a cancer diagnosis. They pushed the original owner of Griffins' Loft out of her own business. One of the owners had the Reiki program at Imperial Point Hospital. After this story broke he's not there anymore. They sent in people for him to treat and then had them file a complaint with the FL medical board. They put him out of business. Then they decided to send people in to take the rest of his money. They had a guy that owned a new age magazine try to get him to advertise, this guy had autistic kids. When my friend left he noticed a county car had been there at this meeting, a white Chrysler 300 with yellow county tags.
Then as my friend took a walk down the beach a family followed him saying your sister has Autistic kids. They follow him everywhere. Then they sent in a woman that worked for Broward Kids to try and get him to get her some antibiotics, she was going to India. She said her Dr was Larry Feldman. He declined. There were other people sent in to do the same from other charities in Broward. If you follow this guys phone records everyone with the exception of 4 people were all sent in.
They tried to make it look like his sister was behind this. SR had sent in a woman to infiltrate him. That's how they got the scoop on his family.

Mr Gillies you should look at every charity these people landed on.
Then look at all the Cancer diagnosis and kidney removal of all this guys friends and anyone that has known him. That tells a better story. They have isolated him completely now for 2 yrs. The police have caused most of his problems since his dad died in 1998. He worked for one of the Steingers business's.
Now they have set up shop in his mothers nursing home and bought their way in there.
Every tenent he had in his building were paid to break things.

Pulp you have done a great job of covering this whole fiasco and all the clowns that worked at Dewey, Cheetem and Howe.

Quite an operation going on here.
They now have forced my friend into foreclosure, that's after breaking pipes and slowly bleeding him.
It took a network of people to pull this off.

It's a multiple inside bank robbery of off shore accounts.
The people doing it knew about the money for 56 yrs.

Even with SR arrested it is still going on.
Identiy Theft and bank robbery. Seems to be the trend in our nation right now.

Lashing out at SOSFC in defense of yourself is unbecoming in this instant. No one believes that you are "on the take" as he/she is charging and "answering" only lends it credibility. The truth is you DID fuck up however and your jettisoning Lyn Evans proves that fact; your hiring of a known MOLE (she was an undisclosed source afterall)was a prescription for this stain. Yes, it was a disaster as some of the citenzery of Pulpsterdom made clear. I don't know what her value to you as a compromised source will be now.

Most folks fail to appreciate the work, the messiness involved in gathering information, the occasional faustian bargains you must make and imparting it in a lucid and concise manner, being mindful of the legal hurdles you must clear. This was a peek behind the curtain. I certainly recognize this and wont disparage your overall work. My thinking is that your cost-benefit analysis went awry this time.

It happens that I know some of the Von Allmen employees, both past and present, domestic and marine. In general, they are well liked by their staff and don't make many 'royal' demands. Alone, they eat fairly simple foods and don't surround themselves with syncophants.

The story circulated within the staff is that when Doug and Linda decided to get married, they sold both their current homes and used the profit from one home to place a down payment on a new home and the profit from the other home for Doug to invest.

Doug then made them multi millinaires through his investments and management. That is where the story breaks down for me. I don't know how much money either one brought into the marriage. Or much about either Doug or Linda's history before they got together. Maybe Christy or Pulp could fill in those blanks.

I don't know if Doug is involved in the day to day running of his various businesses but the management of his 'beauty' division is not generally liked.

No one is perfect and when people analyze your every move, there is the ability to spin anything, in any way people want. ie. Attacking Pulp or Pulp attacking others, it is a fine line as you see. The best journalist, do not present their own opinion, they merely find and investigate the facts equally, and then look for and present both sides of a story, knowing nothing is one sided. Then letting the readers, read the story and find the truth somewhere in the middle. Alot of what Pulp, was doing as of late, did resemble the salem witch hunt, and did attack and portray people from one side of the story, which he was judge,jury and executioner. Just like, you are doing Sick of Corruption, you are just portraying Pulp from one side of the story, which shows you have an agenda as well.
Pulp did disclose everything from the get go, and should be given the benfit that his intentions were to walk the line and try and disclose his connections. It didnt make it right but at least he wasnt hiding it. I look for intent, and Pulp was just caught up and a little manipulated, but I dont think his intent was to decieve us.

I don't know why people focus on you as much as they do. I ignore stuff on the blog (and in life) and don't react to a lot of stuff that I might not like, because I don't want to get dragged into useless dialogues or fights that don't go anywhere. Sometimes I wish you'd do the same for the benefit of the blog, in particular, when you're being singled out. The more you react, the more the singling out seems to take place.

I wish that everyone would take the higher ground and stop with the attacks. Everyone!

In addition (from my perspective, for what it's worth), you have every right to share your opinions about SR and the all the things we look at through the blog, just like everyone else. I welcome the opportunity to hear every one's opinion, yours included.

Anyway, no disrespect intended... I only want peace on the blog (and in life!) as the lack of it takes away from valuable time and energy for all of us. I'm tired of the attacks and the tit for tat, and wish we'd all live from our higher place.

Have a good day everyone!

Here is a little more on Doug. I still don't know how he managed to acquire more than 50 businesses so quickly. That is something like acquiring two businesses a year, every year for 28 years. I don't see how it would be possible to do the due diligence and negotiate sales, find new management and track accounting that quickly year after year. Below is taken from a UK Honors Banquet Program.


Douglas J. Von Allmen has acquired over 50 businesses, in many different industries, over the last 28 years. In the last four years, he has focused on the professional beauty supply distribution business. He is founder and chairman of Beauty Alliance Inc., the largest privately owned professional beauty supply distributor in the country. After graduating from UK, Von Allmen started his business career as a certified public accountant with the national firm of KPMG Peat Marwick. Before he began acquiring businesses, he was the financial officer with two publicly owned companies, Horace Mann Educators Corporation and Volkswagen Insurance Company. In 1965 Von Allmen earned a bachelor’s degree in business and economics at UK.

Acquiring tht many businesses in 28 years is not a red flag to me. I know in the construction industry it happens a lot, most recently with Home Depot buying contractor supply houses. The beauty supply industry may not be that unusual.

I fail to understand how Mr. Alu and Unkey Billy who have a wealth of experience between the 2 them were on call 24/7/365 to come to the aid and assistance the now infamous disbarred lawyer who stole and embezzled from hard working people so he can live the life only experienced by the Sultan Of Brunei.

For Alu and Unckey Billy to swear an oath of allegiance sacrificing their lives for Reichsfuhrer Rothstein and is Wiccan Wench for no financial compensation whatsoever except for a bottom of the line Cadillac is unbelievable even for gullible person such as myself.

If these gentlemen are a quarter of the humanitarians they make themselves out to me the United States Of America is in desperate need of volunteers to help the elderly, sick, dying, destitute, single parent homes in need of a big brother or sister, SPCA, meals on wheels etc.

Interesting that both these 'humanitarians' have no time to help people in need within their own communities who would be forever grateful to them but nothing but time to help a criminal who threatened to destroy Mr. Norman and others an is now finally behind bars where he should have been years ago.

Sounds like Dougy J. Von Allmen is a very wealthy man.

The money he donated to Scotty Boy Rothstein is chicken scratch to him so what's the big deal?

For his 'investment' dollars, he had the priveledge to get close and personal with the famous man who once pounded the Olas Olas pavement and is now behind bars.

Sounds like a win win situation for everybody and Scotty was able to buy an New Bentley, Rolls Royce and Yacht out of the deal.

MODEL CITIZEN

Thank you for the post Purim update and link.
OMG and B'H that were not hurt.

These 3 people 'never lost god' to quote Scott Rothstein.

If only Rothstein The Benevolent would turn his life around and denounce his criminal lifestyle as well as his infamous luxuriating, showing off and fornicating only the hottest of blond, brunette and China babes in school girl outfits things will improve for him.

The Lord is Scott Rothstein's only answer and way out.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Cohibas, Real Estate, $100,000 watches Rolls Royce's, American Express Gift Cards, Sport memorabilia, and Bentleys

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures without whores to fuck:
he leadeth me beside the still waters with no Yacht.

He restoreth my soul without Paxil and Krug Champagne: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Something that doesn't come natural to me as a Professional con and swindler.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death; I will fear no evil: for thou and Mr. Alu
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me in the Big House.

Thou preparest a table before me similar to dining out at Bova, The Capital and The Ritz Carleton in the
presence of mine enemies who all want their money back: thou anointest
my head with oil as I anointed my sweet sluts with my own oil; my cup runneth over as long as I don't forget my Viagra.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me in Federal detention all
the days of my life since I doubt they will let me out soon; and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever. Because I will never own another multi million dollar estate on The ICW, Manhatten Condo or 2 side by each Rhonde Island Estates again.

btan says:

Roger Stone, the colorful Republican political operative and one-time pal of jailed lawyer Scott Rothstein, has been sent a subpoena for a deposition in the bankruptcy case involving Rothstein's defunct law firm. What will Stone tell the lawyers at the March 17 deposition?

``Anybody stupid enough to give Scott Rothstein -- a man with no financial track record whatsoever -- billions of dollars in investments deserves to lose their money,'' Stone said.

Rothstein faces up to 100 years in prison when sentenced May 6 for orchestrating a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.

Attorneys from Berger Singerman, the law firm representing the trustee, will likely ask Stone questions about money he received from the law firm.

Stone had an office in the Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm starting around 2006 because he was part of a Rothstein consulting business. Stone said he was paid $80,000 for political consulting he did for Rothstein, including generating media buzz about Gov. Charlie Crist -- a Rothstein buddy -- being on the shortlist for vice president.

The relationship between Stone and Rothstein soured in part because Rothstein backed both sides in the Broward sheriff's race in 2008.

``You can't be on both sides,'' Stone said.

Dear Pulp:
Re: Those guys dressed in camouflage begging for money for our vets

Sorry to write on this particular blog but didn't know how else to get in touch with you. My husband just came back from the corner of Oakland Park Drive and I-95, WHile waiting for the stop light he was approached by a guy in camouflage gear "can you please donate to support our vets, sir" he asked. My husband took a good look at him and recognized the guy. He had worked at our home as a plumber. My husband asked, "are you a veteran?" Oh yes sir, he replied, I served proudly for my country!" He obviously didn't recognize my husband. My husband said "Hello, ______, how have you been?" And then "You didnt serve in the armed services at all!" The guy said "you're right, but I got to make money someway". They tell them to say that to people. I was approached outside of a grocery store and asked the guy the same question and got the same answer "Yes, mam, I am" When the guy was pressed about when and where he served, he started to stammer and just walked away...Is this the Homeless Voice guy behind this scam? How dare they pretend they are vets? is't there a law against this? I think the New Times should investigate this further.

Thanks. Keep up the great work by the way, I read you every day.
