  • Melissa Lewis worked at the powerful law firm Rothstein, Rosenfedlt, and Adler in Fort Lauderdale. When she disappeared, it was all hands on deck. However, her disappearance would be the first crack in the slab, exposing a giant Ponzi scheme inside Rothstein, Rosenfedlt, and Adler.

    *One thing I wish That Chapter mentioned was that Scott Rothstein never returned from Morocco on good conscience. He returned because he feared the safety of his family for stealing money from big people. He received death threats in addition to his parents. So, he knew he had to return for justice or his parents could experience a violent death. The man is spineless. He has absolutely no integrity or dignity. He was making millions at his law firm but that wasn’t enough. He needed to ball like a billionaire. Absolute greed and recklessness.*

    Is it just me or do the end of Mike's videos feel like a warm hug from a friend? We all need to be told that someone loves us, especially with the world going crazy. We are all going through things that bring us down. These videos (as crazy as it may sound) are a highlight to our day for many of us. However, to those who may read this, though I may not know you or ever meet you, keep your head up and keep pushing. You truly are loved!

      That was my first thought. No way am doing 50 years after flipping on everyone. Many people flip their still in jail under their real name. Something just doesn’t add up with this and new identities come after being released from prison not while in prison.

      Don't be so Naive and Gullible. These are two separate crimes but this Wannbe Comedian put them together in the same episode just to make something out of nothing. Coincidences DO Happen, and that's the story behind these two crimes. But this Wannabe Comedian knows that his audience is Just SO In Love with his Failed Sand up Routine that they will swallow that these two cases are "somehow" related when in fact they are not. Your apparent delusional devotion to this Wannabe Comedian is just warping your Common Sense.
