Rothstein Graphic

A new presentation has surfaced that was supposedly used to entice Rothstein investors. It's a PowerPoint show, 18 pages, including a nifty graphic.

The graphic is supposed to show how money would flow from defendants in Rothstein's lawsuit settlements to the plaintiffs and investors.

It shows a handshake, money with a lock on it, a signed contract, the scales of justice next to a stick figure, a female plaintiff jumping for joy over dollar signs. The final graphic is a large hand, representing a bank, delivering a bag of cash.Given what has happened to the money, it was apparently a work of fiction. The scales of justice were supposed to represent Rothstein's involvement in verifying the accounts. As others have noted, the trust the public puts in attorneys, and bank officials, was the driving force behind Rothstein's alleged swindle.

You're right, LoriView, anytime a lawyer or a judge does a scheme like this, and is proven guilty, he/she should automatically get the maximum sentence.
