Scott Rothstein's Co-Workers Could Face Charges

Federal prosecutors investigating Scott Rothstein's alleged $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme have given their strongest indication yet that some of his former co-workers will face criminal charges.

In a document filed in federal court late Thursday, prosecutors said some of Rothstein's fellow employees at the now-bankrupt Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm have "apparent criminal culpability," but disclosed no specifics.

The criminal complaint filed against Rothstein refers to unnamed co-conspirators 42 times. Rothstein allegedly had help fabricating investment documents in the scheme, and is also accused of illegally funnelling campaign contributions through his firm's employees in violation of state and federal election laws.

Anyone who participated with Rothstein should be investigated and charged if appropriate.
