Rothstein, Epstein scandals converge with sex 
offender claiming he was used in swindle 
By JANE MUSGRAVE 
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer 
Updated: 7:51 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2009 
Posted: 917 p.m. Monday, Dec. 7, 2009 
Two of the biggest scandals to rock South Florida in recent years merged today when attorneys 
representing billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein filed a lawsuit claiming the part-time Palm Beach 
resident is the victim of accused swindler Scott Rothstein. 
Rothstein, who is accused of running a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme from his Fort Lauderdale-based law 
firm, trumped up civil lawsuits against Epstein, according to the complaint filed in Palm Beach County 
Circuit Court. He then lured investors by telling them Epstein had agreed to settle the lawsuits for as 
much as $200 million and they could get a cut of the cash. 
The problem for investors, according to the lawsuit filed by West Palm Beach attorney Robert Critton, is 
that Epstein never agreed to settle the lawsuits filed on behalf of women who are identified only by 
pseudonyms, such as Jane Doe. 
"The offer of a $200 million settlement by Epstein was completely fabricated," Griffon wrote. "No such 
offer had ever been made.' 
Epstein faces roughly two dozens lawsuits filed by women who claim they were teenagers when he lured 
them to his Palm Beach mansion and paid them for massages and sex. The lawsuits started rolling In 
after he pleaded guilty In 2008 to felony solicitation of prostitution and procuring teenagers for 
prostitution. He was released from jail in July after serving 13 months of an 18-month sentence. 
Attorneys who worked for Rothstein, induding Bradley Edwards and former Palm Beach County Circuit 
Judge William Berger, handled the three lawsuits the firm filed. But, they said, those represent only a 
fraction of the young women who Epstein molested. 
Wet the evidence is really going to show is that Mr. Epstein .. . has every single day of his life made an 
attempt to sexually abuse children," Edwards said at a July court hearing. 'We're not talking about five, 
we're not talking about 20, we're not talking about 100. we're not talking about 400 ... we're talking 
about thousands of children." 
Such talk was part of a carefully orchestrated scheme to convince investors they stood to make millions 
by investing with Rothstein, Critton said. 
Likewise, Critton said, Edwards has said he intends to depose various luminaries to testify against 
Epstein. Former president Bill Clinton, business mogul Donald Trump, former Sony Record president 
Tommy Mottola and magician David Copperfreld have all been Identified in court papers as people that 
will be deposed. 
While friends or acquaintances of Epstein, they have no information about the women involved In the 
lawsuits, Clifton said. 
"The sole purpose in the scheduling of these depositions or listing high profile friends/acquaintances as 046,f>4k„, 
potential witnesses was, again, to 'pump' the cases to investors," Critton wrote.

Neither Edwards or Borger responded to phone calls for comment. 
Clifton Isn't the first to make allegations that Rothstein fabricated cases as a way to lure Investors. 
Fort Lauderdale attorney William Scherer, who has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Rothstein on 
behalf of scores of investors, has made similar claims. In a 147-page lawsuit, Scherer also said Rothstein 
told an investor about the phony $200 million settlement offer from Epstein. 
"He would use ... cases as bait for luring investors into fictional cases," Scherer was quoted as saying. 
"All of the cases he allegedly structured were fictional. I don't believe there was a real one." 
Rothstein, a potent political fund-raiser who turned a small, unknown law firm into a powerhouse in seven 
short years, has pleaded not guilty to charges of RICO conspiracy, money-laundering conspiracy, mail 
fraud and two counts of wire fraud. His kingdom collapsed in late October when the feds raided his firm, 
Rothstein, Rosenfeldt & Adler. It Is now closed. He has been disbarred.

Pervy Billionaire a Rothstein "Victim" 
Billionaire sex offender suing alleged Ponzi schemer

AP 
Billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein isn't exactly a sympathetic figure, and Ms alleged weakness for 
underage prostitutes may have made him a target for accused con man Scott Rothstein. 
The Palm Beach mogul is accusing the alleged Fort Lauderdale Ponzi schemer of filing trumped-up 
sexual harassment lawsuits against him to help proliferate his massive $1.2 billion scam, run through his 
Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm. 
In a lawsuit filed today, Epstein alleges Rothstein told investors they'd get their hands on the nearly $200 
million in settlements that Epstein had worked out with RRA, according to the Palm Beach Post. 
Problem is, Epstein hadn't agreed to pay out. 
"The offer of a $200 million settlement by Epstein was completely fabricated," the suit reads. "No such 
offer had ever been made."

To make matters worse, Rothstein's lawyers were planning on calling some of Epstein's high profile 
buddies to testify in the cases, including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and David Copperfield. 
"The sole purpose in the scheduling of these depositions or listing high profile friends/acquaintances as 
potential witnesses was, again, to 'pump' the cases to investors," the lawsuit reads. 
Rothstein, 47, is currently being held in a Miami federal prison, after he was charged last week with five 
counts related to his scheme, including fraud and racketeering. 
Epstein, 56, is a successful financier who pled guilty to procuring teenagers for prostitution in 2008 and 
did 13 months behind bars.

Billionaire Sex Offender's Racketeering Suit: Rothstein Lawyers Lied About 
Me 
Posted Dec 9, 2009 6:50 PM CDT 
By Manta Nen 
Just when it might have seemed that alleged wrongdoing related to the spectacular downfall of Rothstein 
Rosenfeldt Adler could not become more bizarre, a billionaire convicted sex offender has filed a civil racketeering 
lawsuit against two onetime partners of the South Florida law firm. 
Contending that they prejudiced his defense of criminal and civil actions related to his alleged sexual activities with 
underage teens by lying about the facts in order to "pump' a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme that made use of the law 
firm name, Jeffrey Epstein is seeking injunctive relief, unspecified damages in excess of $15,000 and attorney lees. 
Among other allegations, his Palm Beach Circuit Court suit contends that Scott Rothstein, as well as others at the 
firm, falsely claimed to investors in the Ponzi scheme that Epstein had offered to make a $200 minion settlement 
and acted illegally and unethically in civil litigation against him that is still ongoing. 
A copy of the eon:gain( (POF), which was filed Monday, is provided by the Am Law Daily. In addition to criminal 
practices and racketeering counts, it asserts claims for abuse of process, fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. 
Factually, it alleges that Rothstein and unspecified co-conspirators forged federal court orders and opinions, 
improperly intercepted conversations and pursued a litigation strategy unrelated to the merits of their clients' cases 
and their dents' interests in order to further the claimed Ponzi scheme. Rothstein told investors that he represented 
52 female clients In Epstein related matters, the suit says, when in fact he had filed only 'weak" cases on behalf of 
exactly three young women. 
As detailed in earlier ABAJournal.com posts, Rothstein, who until recently was the RRA firm's managing partner 
and chief executNe officer, is now jailed in a federal fraud case and the dissolving taw firm is in receivership, facing 
multiple lawsuits. Rothstein also agreed to give up his Florida law license. 
Attorney Marc Nurik, a former RRA partner who Is representing Rothstein in the criminal case, was not immediately 
available for comment, the Am Law Daily states. 
Epstein's suit was filed by attorney Robert Critton Jr. of Burman Critton Luttier & Coleman in West Palm Beach.

South Florida Lawyers: Parsing the Epstein v. Rothstein Suit 
Much of the suit is a rehash of the POnZI scheme allegations, and how 
Rothstein would talk up all the victims his firm represented that were 
reaching settlements with Epstein, except for some reason Epstein 
always had to pay out over time, even though the victims wanted the 
money right now. 
In actuality, according to the suit, RRA only represented three victims 
in pending litigation 
one in federal court, and two in state court. 
The complaint alleges that Epstein has been harmed in his defense of 
these salts, fo., a number of reasons. 
In particular, the suit really goes after Edwards, alleging that he knew 
or should have known that Rothstein was using the existing cases for 
purposes of promoting the Ponzi scheme. The complaint alleges that 
the RRA litigation Team served discovery that was unrelated to the 
three claims they were handling but with the sole purpose 
of 'pumping' the Fonzi Scheme and Wang new Investors. 
Specifically, the complaint alleges that RRA went after records of 
Rights aboard Epstein's private Jet where high-prof:le celebrities were 
allegedly on board when sexual assaults supposedly took place, and 
that the Litigation Team sought the depositions of these celebrities. 
Edwards allegedly took unnecessary depositions of the pilots, and 
asked Inflammatory questions allegedly for the purpose of `pumping" 
the attractiveness of the Renzi scheme. 
The witnesses allegedly on Edwards' deposition list Included The 
Donald, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Clinton (of course), Tommy Mottola, and 
Illusionist David Copper,Saki(?). Allegedly Rothstein would then go on 
to tell potential investors that Epstein Is settling all these cases in 
order to protect his high-profile friends. 
The complaint goes on to detail other alleged discovery Irregularities, 
including a deposition of Epstein (In which Russell Adler was in 
attendance), where lots of inflammatory questions were allegedly 
asked so the video of the deposition could be shown to new Investors. 
The complaint also alleges that Edwards went overboard at hearings, 
and wildly overstated the extent of Epstein's alleged crimes again just 
to pump the scheme. Further, the complaint alleges that confidential 
client files of the three existing RRA cases against Epstein were shown 
to potential investors to induce them to invest, and that as a result 
the attorney-client privilege has been waived. 
The claims sound in Florida RICO, fraud, abuse of process etc. 
What to make of all this? 
Since the alleged discovery abuses occurred in the context of pending 
civil suits. Epstein's complaint raises the obvious ouestion why the

South Florida Lawyers: Parsing the Epstein v. Rothstein Suit 
presiding judge In those cases should not be dealing with the alleged 
lawyer misconduct? 
Moreover, the allegations against Edwards alt Involve serving allegedly 
outrageous discovery, making outrageous statements in court 
hearings, or doing outrageous things in pleadings. That places the 
allegations of the complaint at odds with the traditional protections 
afforded attorneys In the performance of their legal duties. 
I have no kin whether the allegations against Edwards are 
meritorious, or perhaps Epstein is trying to leverage the Rothstein 
revelations to assist him In defense of his pending suits. 
Esther way the case Is likely not going very far, and Epstein probe* 
will have to seek his remedies if any in the pending cases where the 
alleged discovery misconduct took place. 
The more Interesting jurisprudential question Is what remedy, if any, 
could Investors (as opposed to Epstein) have If they were induced to 
invest as a result of the lawyer activities detailed In the complaint? 
When you step back, the entire Rothstein saga, with Its many sad and 
pathetic twists, should cause the courts and policymakers to define a 
bit more clearly the extent to which lawyers should be afforded 
protection when they practice law •- which in the normal 
circumstance certainty makes sense 
as opposed to allegedly 
misusing and abusing the law and a Bar license in order to execute an 
Incomprehensibly massive (not to mention illegal) moneymaking 
fraud.

Jeffrey Epstein Sues Accused Ponzi Schemer 
Scott Rothstein For Misusing His Name 
First Posted: 12.11.09 11:17 AM j Updated: 12.11.09 12:27 PM 
It's hard to know who to root for when two disgraced 
Florida financiers duke it out In court. 
CityFilo reports that billionaire money manager Jeffrey 
Epstein, who served 13 months in jail for soliciting a 
oenage girl for prostitution, Is taking aim at accused Ponzi 
chemer Scott Rothstein. 
Earlier this year, state authorities charged Rothstein, a 
prominent Florida lawyer and powerful political fundraiser, 
with running a $1.2 billion Ponzl scheme. 
According the suit, Rothstein and his law firm's partners used Epstein's name to lure investors 
into his alleged scheme. Essentially, the suit says, Rothstein's firm claimed to have secured a $200 
million settlement with Epstein, and used that amount to 'pump'. a fraudulent investment scheme. 
The suit also argues that Rothstein's firm claimed to represent 52 women who claimed to have 
been sexually abused by Epstein. In fact, Rothstein's firm only represented three such women in 
cases the suit describes as "weak." 
Is Epstein, he of the allegedly egg-shaped penis, just piling on Rothstein's misfortunes? Read 
the complaint for yourself (hat tip to ABA Journal).

Billionaire Sex Offender Sues Scott Rothstei 
$200 Million Settlement Offer 
r Geigsr Smith I Dec. 10, 2009, 7:43 AM
"Just when It might have seemed that alleged 
wrongdoing related to the spectacular downfall of 
Rothstein Rosenfeld) Adler could not become 
more bizarre, a billionaire convicted sex offender 
has filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against two 
onetime partnere of the South Florida law firm." 
Thus begins Martha Neil's article for 
the ABA Aurae! about jailed Florida 
now-former attorney Scott 
Rothstein, and really, there is no 
other way to begin. 
According to the complaint, plaintiff 
..irt:ey Epstein is a defendant in 
th:ee civil actions alleging sexual 
assault filed by Rothstein's former 
firm. The complaint alleges the RRA 
attorneys lied about the facts of 
Epstein's case to support their 
?onzi scheme. 
The suit says that Rothstein and 
other RRA lawyers said Eptstein 
had offered a $200 million 
settlement. Epstein said no such offer was ever made.
