Summary
This document is an excerpt from James Patterson's book (likely 'Filthy Rich') detailing the legal maneuvering between lawyer Bradley Edwards and Alan Dershowitz. It describes how Edwards briefly worked for Scott Rothstein's fraudulent firm in 2009, a fact Dershowitz later used to argue that accusations against him by Virginia Roberts were part of an extortion plot hatched by Edwards to overturn Epstein's non-prosecution agreement. The text notes that Edwards was cleared of knowledge regarding Rothstein's Ponzi scheme.
