Howard S. Rosenthal's stint as the property manager of BayWalk lasted slightly more than 73 hours.
Pinellas-Pasco Court Judge J. Thomas McGrady removed Rosenthal as the complex's court-appointed guardian on Friday, a day after his arrest on charges that he embezzled nearly $171,000 from his former employer.
According to Pinellas sheriff's detectives, Rosenthal double-billed Clearwater real estate company Colliers Arnold for more than $140,000 in advertising costs before resigning in August 2008.
He also used company money to pay off country club dues, travel expenses for himself and his wife and nearly $700 in hotel movie charges, detectives said.
Rosenthal will be required to document any money he spent or received during his short stint as property manager as part of the court order. It's unclear, however, if any money changed hands.
His attorney, J. Robert McCormack of Tampa, said the charges are unfounded.
