Summary
This is a deposition transcript of a witness named Scott (likely Scott Rothstein of RRA) being questioned by Ms. Haddad. The witness admits that his law firm's operations in 2009 were funded principally by a Ponzi scheme and theft, rather than legitimate revenue. He explicitly confesses to illicit activities involving law enforcement, politicians, judges, and organized crime. The questioning focuses heavily on the firm's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, revealing there was a specific 'Epstein conference room' at the firm and a firm-wide meeting regarding Epstein in July 2009, alongside a large volume of emails concerning Epstein litigation.
