Billionaire Sex Offender Sues Scott Rothstei 
$200 Million Settlement Offer 
Erin Geiger Smith 
Dec. 10, 2009, 7:43 AM 
"Just when it might have seemed that alleged 
wrongdoing related to the spectacular downfall of 
Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler could not become 
more bizarre, a billionaire convicted sex offender 
has filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against two 
onetime partners of the South Florida law firm." 
Thus begins Martha Neil's article for 
the ABA Journal about jailed Florida 
now-former attorney Scott 
Rothstein, and really, there is no 
other way to begin. 
According to the complaint, plaintiff 
Jeffrey Epstein is a defendant in 
three civil actions alleging sexual 
assault filed by Rothstein's former 
firm. The complaint alleges the RRA 
attorneys lied about the facts of 
Epstein's case to support their 
Ponzi scheme. 
The suit says that Rothstein and 
other RRA lawyers said Eptstein 
had offered a $200 million 
settlement. Epstein said no such offer was ever made.
