The Rothstein Firm Manufactured Cases to Sell Not content with merely searching through peoples garbage or shining laser listening devices on windows of executives, in order to create a potentially lucrative case of sexual discrimination or whistle blowing, The firm fabricated from thin facts, financed by unsuspecting investors, emotionally charged cases that could be brought or threatened against wealthy defendants. They would then be able to use the prospect of a large settlement, accomplished under the radar, as the married executive might not want his wife to know about the office affair , or what has been described by a disgruntled investor,a defense contractor was encouraged to pay money into a Rothstein trust account to avoid a whistleblower suit Rothstein and partners lured investors into their quasi- legal extortion scheme. Go to the executive tell him that if he paid a million dollars, over a period of time, the "affair" would remain private . The affair could be an irregularity in the co's books„ or personal injury. Instead of the accountant, blowing the whistle to the gov't , a private deal could be arranged. Even better however would be a case in which the the lawyers could abuse the legal system in order to really extract value.. Find a plaintiff , that could be manipulated, create a case, use the press, coach testimony, that would pass the laugh test, and file a suit The Jeffrey Epstein cases were perfect Funded by Rothstein s investors, they found women that had been to his house, sent them for the first time in their life to psychiatrists with just the right amount of coaching on how to behave. Don't tell the shrink that you had worked as a call girl since the age of 15, don't tell him about your three pregnancys before the age of 18, don't tell him of your arrests. If the girls were questioned under oath they would be able to hide behind the right of clients not to be forced to divulge , (attorney client priviledge,) information. Send a retired but disgraced police officer to interview a myriad of famous people, representing himself as a law enforcement person. File the lawsuit , under the name of Jane Doe, claiming that the now, 22 year old , needed anonymity, get a no contact order from the judge, insulating the client from anyone that might want to speak with her , out of earshot of her attorney. Money was just around the corner. Seek investors to fund the investigators, medical experts, travel expenses of the attorneys, and promise outrageous guaranteed returns. In Epsteins case , represented by the law firm of Critten and Lutier , during depostion the girls admitted , that they had been call girl, strippers, since the age of 15. They had worked at various massage parlors, strip clubs, and escort services. One admitted to keeping the record of the payment of her Johns fees in a lined book masquerading as a bible. After answering a few questions, she , the plaintiff represented by the Rothstein Firm , filing her multi- million dollar lawsuit , as an alleged sexual abuse victim, was told by Rothsteins partner, Brad Edwards to invoke her fifth amendment rights against further testifying. She took the fifth , at least forty times. She admitted lying under oath to the FBI. Changing her testimony from Epstein was an "awesome man that never did anything improper, to her post lawyer testimony or I was abused". She admitted having intercourse with many, many men , but not even once with Epstein. She said she charged up to 2000 dollars a day. Though she said she did want money she said she wanted justice, it was the same answer that all of Edwards clients gave. Protected from a defamation EFTA00583917 claim , by the filing act of actually filing a lawsuit, protected from investigation by the attorney client priviledge,protected from stray questions by a court ordering no contact, the firm was free to call the press, in violation of local ethical rules. Get their clients on television , admittedly behind a screen to protect the Jane Doe from unwanted scrutiny. Subpoena, friends, and employees of Epstein to depositions ,for hours on end, though the the girls were never mentioned once. Questions about Epstein Finances, his friends, questions , like if it were true, that he had sex with young girls, what would you think . His friends unable to dismiss the subpoena, sat for hours being questioned about their own lives, the lawyers fishing for more cases that they could sell to their unsuspecting investors. The FBI is now trying to unravel, the looting of the investors, maybe the trust accounts of the firm , they will need to determine, who was in on the schemes. Like Madoff, it appears unlikely, it will be the work of only one man. EFTA00583918
