Rosenfeldt has agreed to settle a $10 million lawsuit against him for the relatively small sum of $1.6 million, which will come entirely from the bizarre tax refund he is apparently due. Those facts were disclosed Thursday in a settlement agreement filed in the bankruptcy of Rothstein and Rosenfeldt's former law firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler. The bankruptcy trustee had alleged in a lawsuit that Rosenfeldt was overpaid, and received loans and gifts with money from Rothstein's =1.2 billion Ponzi scheme. Rosenfeldt's attorney, Bruce Lehr, said the settlemen= was made with no admission of guilt by Rosenfeldt, who is still a practic=ng attorney. Chuck Lichtman, the attorney for the trustee, said he could not elaborate much on the settlement, but said Rosenfeldt was apparently due the money from the IRS because he had somehow overpaid taxes during his career at RRA.
