EFTA01112644

from establishing a meritorious defense. While he claims to have "many meritorious 
defenses to the Complaint: he only purports to describe one, which constitutes neither 
a factual nor legal defense to any of the counts in the Complaint. 
22. 
The crux of Rothstein's purported defense is that co-Defendant, Bradley 
Edwards (a former RRA attorney), filed lawsuits against Epstein on behalf of his clients 
prior to joining RRA and that these "were and are real cases, with real plaintiffs that 
have real claims against Epstein." See Exhibit D ¶9. Then, without any explanation, 
Rothstein makes the conclusory assertion that these facts "go[j against several counts 
in the Complaint, including, but not limited to, the RICO count." 
23. 
From his affidavit, it appears that Rothstein has still not read the 
Complaint. 
24. 
The Complaint, in no uncertain terms, acknowledges that M.,M 
and 
Jane Doe are in fact real plaintiffs who have filed real cases. Indeed, the Complaint 
alleges that Rothstein liaised investor money to pay plaintiffs (i.e.,■ 
and Jane 
Doe) 'up front' money such that plaintiffs would refuse to settle the Civil Actions." See 
Complaint ¶31.c. So it is unclear what defense Rothstein is attempting to establish by 
asserting that M., 
and Jane Doe are real plaintiffs with real cases, a fact alleged 
in the Complaint. 
25. 
What is clear Is that Rothstein's affidavit falls woefully short of 
demonstrating a defense, let alone a meritorious one, that would support setting aside 
the default and the Court should therefore deny Rothstein's motion. 
"A factual 
a;legation that does not meet the substance of the allegations against the affiant does 
and cannot state a 'meritorious' defense." See Hill, 872 So. 2d at 921. 
5 
EFTA01112664

Rothstein's Failure to Respond to the 
Complaint Was Not the Result of Excusable Neglect 
26. 
To set aside a default, Rothstein must also demonstrate excusable 
neglect in falling to respond to the complaint. See Hill 872 So. 2d at 921. Rothstein's 
affidavit does not controvert the fact he was personally served and demonstrates that 
he essentially ignored this lawsuit. Such indifference to legal process is inexcusable. 
27. 
In Medcom USA, Inc. v, Ryder Homes & Groves, Co., 847 So. 2d 594, 
596 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003), defendant moved to set aside a clerk's default and filed 
affidavits of its president, vice president and chief counsel, which asserted that 
defendant "had not been served with process; that [defendant's] first knowledge of the 
suit was the receipt of the final judgment ... and that the company had immediately 
retained counsel to take appropriate steps to respond to the action.' The court affirmed 
the trial court's refusal to set aside default under these circumstances because the 
defendant's "bare allegations that [defendant's CEO) had not been served with process 
are not sufficient as a matter of law to impeach the process server's return of service 
and sworn statement that she personally served (defendant's CEO)." Id. See elle 
Marceca v. Southeast Bank, N.A., 521 So. 2d 156, 156 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988) (affirming 
trial court's denial of motion to set aside default where defendant's counsel intentionally 
or through gross neglect ignored the necessity to respond to the complaint and 
summons); The Vanguard Group, Inc. v. Vanguard Security. Inc., 409 So. 2d 1219 (Fla. 
3C DCA 1982) (holding trial court properly denied defendant's motion to set aside 
default where defendant's assertions showed only that defendant ignored the 
complaint). 
6 
EFTA01112665

28. 
Rothstein does not contest the fact that he was properly served with the 
Complaint and Summons. Instead, he asserts that "I do not recall being served with this 
lawsuit" and "[i]f I was properly served with this lawsuit, it has been misplaced within the 
pile of numerous lawsuits and voluminous amount of other legal papers and has not 
been located." See Exhibit D ¶6. That Rothstein is the target of "numerous lawsuits" as 
a result of his fraudulent scheme does not excuse his failure to respond to the instant 
suit. 
29. 
Rothstein also asserts that he "did not have knowledge of [this lawsuit] 
until February, 2010." See Exhibit D ¶2. However, if Rothstein was personally served 
with the Complaint and Summons (which he does not contest), it follows that he must 
have had knowledge of the lawsuit. 
Since Rothstein's affidavit does nothing to 
controvert the verified return of service or affidavit of Carlos Aguirre (Exhibits A and 8, 
respectively), the Court must assume that the Complaint and Summons were properly 
served. See Medcom USA. Inc., 847 So. 2d at 598 (holding that bare allegations that 
defendant had not been served with process are not sufficient as a matter of law to 
impeach the process server's return of service and sworn statement that she personally 
served defendant). 
30. 
Indeed, Rothstein had to be taken from his cell into a separate room to be 
served with the lawsuit, a fact he admits in his affidavit. See Exhibit D ¶4. This is a not 
a situation where, for example, a defendant's counsel's secretary misplaced a complaint 
and forgot to calendar a response deadline. To the contrary, Rothstein was an attorney 
(although disbarred) and former CEO of RRA, a law firm which employed over 70 
lawyers, and was personally served with this lawsuit. Rothstein's affidavit does nothing 
7 
EFTA01112666

to establish that his failure to respond to the Complaint was a result of excusable 
neglect. 
31. 
Rothstein's counsel, Mark Nurik, also asserts that he did not have 
knowledge of the lawsuit until "recently." See Motion to Set Aside Default ¶6 — 7. 
32. 
However, nine separate news articles (attached as composite Exhibit H) 
including The Palm Beach Post (12/08/09), The Sun Sentinel (12/10/09), NBC Miami 
(12/08/09), The ABA Journal (12/09/09), South Florida Lawyers (12/10/09), 
huffingtonpost.com (12/11/09), The AmLaw Daily (12/08/09). Business Insider 
(12/10/09) and Courthouse News (12/16/09), reported Epstein's lawsuit against 
Rothstein. Notably, the articles were published within days of Rothstein being served 
with this lawsuit (December 9, 2009). Thus, Rothstein's and Nurik's assertions that they 
had no knowledge of this case until "recently" are belied by the widespread media 
coverage. 
33. 
Given the foregoing, it can hardly be said that Rothstein ignoring the 
properly served Complaint and Summons constitutes excusable neglect. 
34. 
Unlike Medcom where the defendant asserted he was not served (and in 
which the court nevertheless found said assertion insufficient), Rothstein does not even 
contest the fact he was served; he just does not remember it. How convenient, yet 
insufficient. 
35. 
As his assertions do not come close to rising to the level of excusable 
neglect, the Court should deny Rothstein's Motion to Set Aside Default. 
Rothstein Fails to Establish Due Diligence in Moving to Set Aside the Default 
36. 
Last, Rothstein must establish he acted with due diligence in moving to set 
8 
EFTA01112667

aside the default. a t Hill, 872 So. 2d at 921. 
37. 
Rothstein, in his affidavit, asserts that he learned of the lawsuit and default 
at some unspecified time in February, 2010 and then Immediately contacted [his) 
attorney and advise him of same which prompted the filing of my Motion to Set Aside 
Default and this Affidavit in Support thereof." See Exhibit D ¶8. 
38. 
However, Rothstein fails to explain how he learned of this lawsuit or 
exactly when in February, 2010 he learned of It. 
39. 
Rothstein filed his Motion to Set Aside Default on February 17, 2010. If 
Rothstein learned that a default was entered against him on February 1, 2010, for 
example, but failed to file anything for over three weeks, it can be argued he failed to 
exercise due diligence in moving to set aside the default. 
40. 
But since Rothstein does not articulate how or exactly when he learned of 
the default, it is unclear whether Rothstein acted with due diligence in moving to set 
aside the default entered against him. 
41. 
Accordingly, Rothstein has failed to meet his burden to establish the due 
diligence element. See Zivitz 16 So. 3d at 849 (holding that the party seeking to set 
aside the default has the burden to demonstrate due diligence in seeking relief from 
default, excusable neglect and a meritorious defense). 
Conclusion 
42. 
Since Rothstein has failed to establish a meritorious defense to the 
allegations in the Complaint, excusable neglect in failing to respond to the Complaint 
and due diligence in moving to set aside the default, the Court must deny Rothstein's 
Motion to Set Aside Default.

Defendants. 
AFFIDAVIT OF SCOTT W. ROTHSTEIN 
IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 
STATE OF FLORIDA 
) ss.: 
COUNTY OF 
Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared, SCOTT W. ROTHSTEIN, 
who after being by me first duly sworn, on oath, deposes and states as follows: 
1. 
I am a Defendant in the above•captioned matter. 
2. 
I did not respond to the Summons and Complaint in this lawsuit because I did not 
have knowledge of its existence until February, 2010. In February 2010, I learned that this 
lawsuit was filed against me and that a default judgment had been entered against me for failure 
to respond. 
3. 
From December 1, 2009 until March I, 2010, I was detained at the Federal 
Detention Center in Miami, Florida'. 
On March I, 2010,1 was transferred to the Pon St. Lucie jail. 
Flt1661522:1 
EXHIBIT. D 
EFTA01112677

4. 
During that time frame I was pulled out of my cell many times by the Bureau of 
Prisons staff to receive service of lawsuits at all hours. 
5. 
Inasmuch as the Bureau of Prisons rules and regulations do not allow a prisoner to 
hand any documents to any visitors, including counsel, upon service of various lawsuits, I simply 
informed my attorney who would then look up the case with the appropriate court and contact 
the attorney for the plaintifffs) in such cases and/or take whatever appropriate action was 
necessary. 
6. 
To the best of my knowledge and belief, I do not recall being served with this 
lawsuit. If I was properly served with this lawsuit, it has been misplaced within the pile of 
numerous lawsuits and voluminous amount of other legal papers and has not been located. Even 
to date, I have not located the Complaint or Plaintiffs Motion for Default.2
7. 
1 state in good faith that if I had actual knowledge of this lawsuit I would have 
advised my attorney as I have done with various other lawsuits currently pending against me. 
8. 
As soon as I learned of the lawsuit, I immediately contacted my attorney and 
advised him of same which prompted the filing of my Motion to Set Aside Default and this 
Affidavit in Support thereof. 
9. 
I have a viable defense to the allegations contained in the Plaintiff, Jeffrey 
Epstein's ("Plaintiff" or "Epstein"), Complaint. Without providing a detailed response to the 
Complaint herein, just one of many meritorious defenses to the Complaint is that at least one, if 
not more, of the lawsuits against Plaintiff which he references as the basis of this instant lawsuit 
(the "Civil Actions"), was filed with the court on behalf of certain clients by a defendant herein, 
Bradley Edwards ("Edwards"), prior to his employment as an attorney at the law firm Rothstein 
Rosenfeldt Adler ("RRA"). The fact that Edwards, prior to his employment with RRA, and prior 
2 Since learning of this lawsuit, my attorney obtained a copy of the Complaint 
2 
EFTA01112678

to our introductions with one another, already had client(s) suing Epstein in Civil Actions, goes 
against several counts in the Complaint, including, but not limited to, the RICO count. In fact, 
the Civil Actions filed by Edwards and/or other attorneys at RRA were and are real cases, with 
real plaintiffs that have real claims against Epstein and, this instant lawsuit is Plaintiff's feeble 
attempt to take advantage of my unfortunate circumstances to disqualify claims by real persons 
that deserve to have their day in court. 
10. 
I respectfully submit that if the Court were to disallow my Motion to Set Aside 
Default, not only would I be extremely prejudiced inasmuch as I have viable defenses to the 
allegations contained in Plaintiffs Complaint, but the plaintiffs in the Civil Actions that Edwards 
and others at RRA filed against Epstein which he references in his Complaint in this matter,
would be prejudiced as well. A default entered against me in this matter would have the same 
effect as my admission to the assertions made by Plaintiff which would, in essence, allow 
Epstein to prevail against the plaintiffs in the Civil Actions on the basis that they are frivolous 
and fraudulent lawsuits, which they arc not. 
Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing affidavit and the facts 
stated in it are true.
