💰 Financial Record

In this deposition transcript, a witness named Scott (likely Scott Rothstein) admits to Ms. Haddad that he operated a Ponzi scheme involving the sale of fake legal settlements. He testifies that while 90% of the settlements were completely fictitious, he utilized an actual ongoing case involving Jeffrey Epstein to 'bolster the visual' for sophisticated investors to convince them the settlements were real. He describes creating fake documents and introducing investors to lawyers working on the real Epstein file to add legitimacy to his fraud.
