Summary
This document is a deposition transcript (pages 6-9) in which a witness (likely Scott Rothstein) admits to starting a Ponzi scheme around 2005 out of 'greed and the need to support the law firm.' The testimony details the history of his law firm's locations (One Financial Plaza, Colonial Bank Building, 401 Building) and partners (Stu Rosenfeldt, Susan Dolin, Michael Pancier). The witness clarifies that despite having approximately 70 attorneys and various people with 'partner' or 'shareholder' titles for 'prestige' and 'ego,' the only actual equity shareholders receiving distributions were himself and Stu Rosenfeldt.
