MIAMI AP – A sports car worth nearly $2 million, an 87-foot yacht and a guitar collection worth as much as $20,000 were among the assets seized from a South Florida lawyer suspected of operating a massive fraud scheme, according to a court filing Monday.
Proceeds from the seizures will eventually go to benefit investors who said they were fleeced by attorney Scott Rothstein, some of whom filed a $100 million lawsuit on Friday against Rothstein and a Canadian bank that handled many transactions. In all, authorities took 20 luxury cars, 15 pieces of property and three boats, as well as Moroccan bank accounts and political and charitable contributions.
