Rothstein's Wife Still Controls Properties

Bankruptcy lawyers handling the financial fallout from Scott Rothstein's mega Ponzi scheme are taking issue with the way federal prosecutors are dealing with the convicted felon's multimillion-dollar properties.

Of particular concern: Rothstein's wife Kimberly is still managing some of the houses and is living rent-free in one of them, the attorneys wrote in court filings.

"It has recently come to the attention (of the lawyers) that the government has apparently delegated its duty to properly manage and safeguard certain of the property subject to forfeiture to Scott Rothstein's wife — Kimberly Rothstein," wrote Paul Singerman, one of the attorneys handling the case for the bankruptcy trustee.

"More specifically, the (lawyers) have learned that the government has permitted Kimberly Rothstein to live rent free in one of the forfeited properties and to continue to rent out other properties to tenants," Singerman wrote.

  1. Do I understand this clearly... Florida is allowing this woman who is mentally competent, and probably assisted her husband commit crimes to live rent free and collect rent monies! This same state... Florida, know as the Sunshine State permits and assists "professional guardians", conservators,etc. to throw elderly people with slight dementia into assisted living facilities, neglect them and leave them pennyless. Florida government appears to have major corruption going on!
