Do those donations make him a good guy? Hell, no! He needed a tax break.
Hope he enjoys it in jail!
Right on, Thelma!
Well, I've got to say that maybe he chose his charities and nonprofits based on the good Rothstein does have. His intentions, I think were motivated by tax breaks, but hopefully his choices were motivated by good causes.
Lot of good that will do them now tho!
The Rothstein story just keeps growing!
