The size of the Ponzi Scheme of Florida lawyer is now becoming clearer.
Miami Herald: The alleged investment scam by Fort Lauderdale attorney Scott Rothstein could top $1 billion, making it one of the biggest fraud cases in South Florida history, the head of the FBI in South Florida said Thursday morning.
Rothstein is suspected of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from investors who bought legal settlements from him since 2005.
The IRS is looking at U.S.-based and foreign bank accounts to determine where Rothstein may have money collected from investors.
