Summary
Deposition transcript of Rothstein, who discusses his Ponzi scheme and the hiring of attorney Brad Edwards at his firm (RRA). Rothstein confirms his partner, Russell Adler, was a co-conspirator in the Ponzi scheme and recommended hiring Edwards because Edwards had a 'huge case involving a billionaire pedophile' (Epstein). Rothstein hoped the legitimate fees from the Epstein case would help him exit the Ponzi scheme during 2009.
