Scott Rothstein prominent Ft. Lauderdale attorney

I think Jasone was referring to Rothstein's wife, not Saidle's. I see no point in ending the thread. This story has some way to go, and with SS apparently released I doubt he'll be the topic of much discussion, which I believe is your objective in asking the thread be closed. After all, the topic of the thread is Scott Rothstein, not Scott Saidle, but it's natural that peripheral characters would be discussed.

The story of Scott Rothstein goes on and I see no reason not to discuss it in this forum. Although I don't personally know any of his actual fraud victims I do know three people who lost their jobs simply because they had innocent contact with Rothstein. They didn't commit any felonies or assist anyone else to do so, but they lost their livelihoods. It's a story worth continuing to discuss.

 

You are correct, I was referring to SR's wife.

 

Actually, I agree with you. Being in Mexico, I have no idea what is happening relative to the Rothstein case. My USA TV experience is coming from Harrisburg PA. Rothstein is the villain, and hopefully pays for his crimes as did SS. But I really get irritated by the arrogance of those that think they know everything. Certainly the judge knows all of the facts, but not all of the facts were made public. So no one on this thread with the exception of 2-3 really know all of the facts. SS is now living with his wife on the west Coast, but for sure, he has not lost any of his friends. Including me. Why, we know what he did was illegal, but we know he did it.

 

As*h*le. I do not appreciate the accusation, so go f**k yourself. There are 2-3 of us that have been on this thread that have been with SS, heard his story, heard his admission, and know most of the facts that the judge knows in his chambers, but were not made public. Plea deal I think it is called. We were all as surprised of the situation as any one else. I do not know more than the judge you assumptive moron, never said that. But I do know more than you. Your arrogance is overwhelming. But your and other's opinions here are not relevant, SS is now living a "as normal as can be" life. And his old friends are still his old friends.

Do you think if he was really part of Rothstein scheme, SS would be out after such short time? Get real.

 

Who's the a hole? The guy who keeps saying there are all of these 'facts' out there but refuses to disclose them or the guy that calls him out? Either spill these facts or accept the fact that nobody will give you or SS benefit of the doubt (because there is NO doubt), nor should you expect anything other than scorn for defending a convicted felon with nothing to back it up. It borders on the absurd. I have no skin in the game but enablers like you are why these guys can fleece the public and ruin lives/careers.

 

Good call, but I hope that provocation or attacks will be met with banning, not thread closure, which would punish everybody who is interested in discussing this case here. As far as I'm concerned SS should just be left out of the discussion from this point forward. If somebody wants to start a new thread about him, that would be their call, but I don't see the point.

 

I think Duane's post is very good. If SS had really been in the clear, then all these "backroom" talks and all the "insider knowledge" would have kept him out of jail. The fact is that he did plead guilty. Period.

Part of contrition is to recognize you were wrong. It would be nice of SS came on here and apologized to those of us who he told to F-off. It would also be nice for those who defended him to apologize, too. But I am not holding my breath on either one.

It is OK. Justice was done.
