Miami’s Own Mini-Madoff

The Fall Of A Law Firm

Scott Rothstein

Scott Rothstein, the politically connected Miami attorney, who fled to Morocco, due to investors pressing him regarding their money, has returned to South Florida and was met by FBI agents at the airport.

Preliminary evidence indicates Mr. Rothstein has been running a $500,000,000 ponzi scheme out of the Sunshine State, leaving his law firm in the lurch.

The firm is down to its last $500,000 and may face difficulties making payroll, with a staff of 75 people.

Politically connected lawyer returns to face fraud questions

In Print: Wednesday, November 4, 2009 - A flashy Fort Lauderdale lawyer who investors say fleeced them for hundreds of millions of dollars flew back from Morocco on Tuesday to face federal prosecutors considering criminal charges, the Miami Herald reported.

While Scott Rothstein and his defense attorney, Marc Nurik, held the discussions, a Broward County judge appointed an independent receiver to examine the financial records of Rothstein's law firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler.

Rothstein, 47, had left for Morocco on Friday as news of his alleged investment scam started leaking around Broward County. He came back facing an FBI investigation and the loss of his law firm. The once high-flying firm, formed in 2002, has only $500,000 left in its bank account, a lawyer said.

Rothstein, suspected of running a Ponzi scheme, apparently drained vast sums of money from the firm, his partners say.

Rothstein's investors had $500 million deposited in a Canadian bank on Oct. 23 and that money was gone seven days later, said William Scherer, an attorney representing investors who he says lost more than $70 million...

Nokia Sues Apple For Stealing iPhone

iPhone in iTrouble

Just two days ago, on October 20, 2009, in the Apple Trounces Sony article, the Judiciary Report chided Sony for not being able to pull off its usual, criminal security breach, in hacking and stealing unreleased copyrights and patents, from competitor Apple, the maker of the iPhone.

Two days later, today, it was announced Nokia is suing Apple for stealing the iPhone from them, based on preexisting patents they hold.

Nokia: Apple iPhone Violates Our Patents

October 22, 2009, 2:00PM EST - In a U.S. District Court lawsuit, the Finnish mobile-phone giant accuses Apple of patent infringement on Nokia-developed 3G and wireless LAN technology

Apple's iPhone has been giving Nokia smartphones a hard time in the marketplace. Now Nokia is giving Apple a hard time in the courtroom.

The Finnish handset giant said Oct. 22 it has filed suit against Apple (AAPL) in U.S. District Court in Delaware, accusing its California-based rival of infringing patents for core technology that allows the iPhone to make calls and connect to the mobile Internet. Although Nokia (NOK) has sued rivals such as Qualcomm (QCOM) over patents in the past, the latest lawsuit came as a surprise—and represents an escalation of increasingly contentious competition with Apple.

In a statement, Nokia said Apple has refused to pay for use of intellectual property developed by Nokia that lets handsets connect to third-generation, or 3G, wireless networks, as well as to wireless local area networks. "Apple is attempting to get a free ride on the back of Nokia's innovation," Ilkka Rahnasto, Nokia vice-president for legal and intellectual property, said in the statement. Neither Nokia nor Apple responded immediately to requests for further comment...

Nokia Files Patent Lawsuit Against Apple

October 22, 2009 11:54 AM PDT - Nokia filed a lawsuit against Apple today alleging that the iPhone violates 10 different patents owned by Nokia. Nokia claims that the technologies, ranging from speech coding to security to wireless data transmission, have been used in every iPhone since the iPhone has existed, so what is the motive behind suing now?

The Finland-based mobile phone giant--with a comfortably dominant 45 percent share of the smart phone market--claims that these same patented technologies are licensed and paid for by 40 other tech companies and it feels that Apple is infringing on its patent rights by not doing so as well.

I understand that individuals and organizations should be able to protect their intellectual property and investment in developing innovative solutions. Nokia claims to have invested nearly $90 billion over the past 20 years on research and development for these and other patented technologies...

Jon Gosselin Sued

Reality TV star of the show “Jon and Kate Plus 8” has been sued by the TLC network for breach of contract, among other things, in bailing on his show and his family.

Gosselin did a string of interviews with other channels and magazines, in violation of his contract with TLC, who has first rights regarding such exclusives.

He stated in a video on Radar Online, he had no clue he had been sued, finding out about the legal action through Google Alerts.

Gosselin was better off with his family, fulfilling his contractual obligation to the show. The adulterous affairs and separation have only set him back. No matter what Hollywood tells you, no nation in the world loves dysfunction. People enjoy a good story and decent programming showing others leading positive lives.

Jon Gosselin Could Face Jail Time For Hacking Exploits

Posted on Oct 17, 2009 @ 12:14PM - The shocking allegations by Jon Gosselin's former lover that he hacked into Kate Gosselin's email and telephone accounts could land him behind bars says TV's Judge Alex.

"If he really hacked into her email and bugged her phone, he's looking at crimes that are punishable by prison" Judge Alex Ferrer told RadarOnline exclusively.

Ferrer says that Jon Gosselin - despite still being legally wed to Kate- "may have violated state and federal law" if he illegally invaded her electronic privacy...

Don’t Be Tardy For The...Lawsuit

Kim Zolciak

"Real Housewives Of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak, is in legal trouble this week. It seems her cringe-worthy debut single “Don't Be Tardy For The Party” does not belong to her and has not been paid for.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta

The song’s producer, Don Vito, has sued Zolciak for compensation. As a result, the track was pulled from iTunes on the grounds of copyright infringement, which is very embarrassing.

Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak Being Sued By Music

Posted on Sep 21, 2009 @ 07:04PM - There is more drama to be had for Kim Zolciak of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta. RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that she is being sued by her music producer, causing her to take her song Tardy for the Party off of iTunes on Monday afternoon.

“This producer Don Vito is suing her for not paying him so she doesn’t have the rights,” a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. Her official website is also down, “possibly for similar reason” the source hinted.

The song had landed on the Top 10 iTunes Dance Chart. Though it initially started as a country song, fellow castmate and producer Kandi Burress convinced Zolciak to turn it into a pop song.

Zolciak’s manager Jonathan Jaxson had no official comment and Don Vito could not be immediately reached.

Industry Of Thieves Pt 2.

Syl Johnson

73-year-old blues musician, Syl Johnson, began his career in the 1960's and released many albums over the course of 50 years.

He recently filed a series of lawsuits against several stars such as Michael Jackson, Jefferson Airplane and numerous rappers, for infringing his preexisting copyrighted music.

Jackson, among others, settled the lawsuits, paying him for using his preexisting copyrighted music without permission. However, it once again proves, Hollywood is an industry of thieves.

Look how many people robbed this man, who paid his dues for decades, yet all these artists were ripping off his works, because they felt they could do so. There are other artists who have been robbed in this manner as well.

Jackson Estate Settles Music Suit

Posted Sep 17th 2009 5:20PM by TMZ Staff - Lawyers for Michael Jackson's estate have asked the probate judge to give them the green light so they can settle a music lawsuit filed against the singer.

The suit was filed in federal court in Northern Illinois by Syl Johnson. Johnson claims Jackson and 11 other defendants unlawfully reproduced one of his recordings.

We've learned Jackson and the other defendants have settled for a total of $150,000 and Jackson will kick in his share -- $12,500 -- upon approval by the probate court.

The other defendants include Dr. Dre, Will Smith and the estate of Tupac Shakur.

FBI Sued In Madonna Case

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, the FBI and DOJ, have been sued in the Madonna human rights abuse case, under the Freedom of Information Act and the Civil Rights Act. To read the lawsuit click here.

Be sure to read the parts about her famous producers, friends, associates, staff members and Kabbalah members, contacting and approaching me on her behalf and the part about Kabbalah member Russell Davies' sick misconduct in conjunction with her (press ctrl F and then type in his name Russell Davies). I will post a summary of the lawsuit shortly.

During the George W. Bush administration, I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FBI. First they lied in writing and stated there were no files. Then, when I pressed the issue some more with a written "appeal" of their decision, they stated in writing there are files and they are withholding them and I'd have to sue them to get it, so I did today.

The FBI has been withholding thousands of pages in files relating to the case and other items concerning me, in violation of the Freedom of Information Act.

Madonna

When Obama ran for President, he promised "Change" in America. He also promised "transparency" in government, something that was sorely lacking during the Bush years.

Therefore, it is in this vein that I filed the lawsuit. A rough draft of the lawsuit, along with a polite, respectful letter was sent to Obama on July 15. 2009, which the U.S. Postal Service confirms the White House has received.

It was a last resort, as Madonna's conduct is endangering my very life, as the lawsuit details and the FBI's criminal negligence and cover-up thereof, has caused me extensive damage as well. Madonna, through her staff, famous producers, associates and friends, keeps contacting me and harassing me.

Marcia G. Cook (center)

As many of you know, I sued Madonna/Sony in 2005 and the case was corrupted by her. It was thrown out without being read, by Miami Judge and George W. Bush appointee, Marcia G. Cook (the magistrate judge was Stephen Brown).

She is the same judge that violated the Constitution to aid Bush, who for the first time in U.S. history, held a man in prison for years, without charging him for a crime. 400 years of painstaking law was thrown out the window, marking a profound low in the Judiciary's history.

Cook further stated the case, which involved assault and death threats against me was, "Amusing." Yes, really. That's the word she inexcusably used in her ruling, while stating pop stars could not have broken the law. She reminds me of verbally abusive, Judge Kent, who was recently impeached.

She threw it out, clearly without reading it, the same day she received it, according to the court's case transfer sheet. My case was not the only one she had that day, as she had dozens. Therefore, she could not have possibly read the 60 pages of the lawsuit, 200 pages of evidence exhibits and Gigabytes of comparative data illustrating infringements.

In short, she committed fraud. People do not pay their taxes and court filing fees, for their cases not to be read and reviewed correctly. That spits in the taxpayers faces, who pay judges salaries and is a violation of the judicial canons.

She also stated something in her ruling, that was riddled with misspellings and misapplied law, that I was instructed to cut the case down to 50 pages, when I was told to cut it down to "60 pages" by her colleague, who was the judge that had the case first, Cecilia Altonaga.

Cecilia Altonaga

Madonna and her cohorts kept stealing items from my preexisting Copyrighted Catalog and Altonaga ignored the motion for an injunction to bar her from stealing anything else, which I thought was strange.

Then, she and the Defendants called me into court for a hearing in December 2005, where she basically treated me the victim, like a criminal and the lawbreaking Defendants' lawyers, like royalty.

She even sarcastically told me to "Try state court" which is absolutely the wrong venue for a copyright case, as copyrights pertain to federal law and federal court. I've seen other copyright cases dismissed from state court with the court stating it is the wrong venue. I can't imagine as a judge, Altonaga did not know this. I politely requested in a motion that she recuse herself.

She was acting in the Defendants' best financial interest, not in the interest of justice and truth. Turns out, Altonaga's child had been given stock in the Defendants' company (Sony) and her husband works for the law firm, Holland and Knight as a partner and Sony is one of their biggest clients. That's a multi-million dollar account. So they put food on her table and as such, she ruled in their favor.

R. Allen Stanford was arrested a few months ago for running a ponzi scheme

It's this same sort of thing that allowed R. Allen Stanford to win a case in Miami he should not have. It's a shame, as had integrity prevailed in the case years ago, when a man formally sued and accused him in court, of running a ponzi scheme, providing proof thereof, investors in America, Britain and the Caribbean, would have saved billions of their hardearned life savings.

This year it was revealed, the FBI also knew since 1998, what Stanford was doing in running a ponzi scheme, but kept silent, allowing it to continue, instead of arresting him and stopping the financial damages a decade ago, which grew to terrible proportions over the last 10 years.

The case against Stanford was dismissed and the innocent, truth telling Plaintiff, was ordered to pay that crook Stanford $300,000 in court costs and damages. Talk about corrupt. Read about it by clicking here. Stanford's chief financial officer has now pled guilty, disclosing their criminal misconduct.

As stated above, Obama promised "change" and "transparency" in government. So, let's see if things have changed regarding the government, court system and corporate America or if my rights will be corruptly violated again in court.

It will also be a bellwether to you, the business owner and the domestic/global investor, as to the true state of things in the corporate and court sector.

I filed the case in the appropriate jurisdiction, under the appropriate laws, it is formatted according to the rules of federal procedure and I have successful proved access and misconduct that are a proximate cause of the clear cut damages I sustained.

The case has been assigned to judge Jose Martinez. However, the magistrate judge providing oversight, is the same one from the 2005 Madonna case, judge Stephen Brown (18 magistrate judges and I get the same one again). However, once again, I'm going to act in good faith.

I will post all the details of the case as it transpires, every single aspect, on the Judiciary Report and its affiliated sites. I'm also asking you to forward the lawsuit link to as many people as possible, to create awareness about the case.

The more people that know about it, the less inclined those Hollywood Kabbalah loons should be, in continuing to harass and terrorize me.

Model Sues Google For Releasing Identity

A model, Liskula Cohen, sued Google to obtain the information of an anonymous blogger that badmouthed her online, calling her a "skank" who didn't care about her hygiene.

A skank? No! (surprise face)

Google, complying with the court order, released the name of the blogger behind “Skanks of NYC." It turned out to be another model, Rosemary Port, who was angry with Liskula Cohen, for telling her boyfriend stories about her, she alleges to be untrue. Retract the claws ladies.

Rosemary Port

Rosemary Port, is now suing Google for $15,000,000 for outing her. Under the "terms of service" one agrees to when starting a blog with just about any company, it is disclosed they can turn your information over under court order.

You really would have no legal grounds to sue Google or any other companies in their genre, for outing you under such circumstances, as they are shielded under specific laws governing the internet and you did not prove your comments were truthful and not defamatory, as alleged.

You did not demonstrate they violated your civil rights in any manner, by discriminating against you or inappropriately denying you access to services other citizens are entitled to under the law.

You were accused of defaming someone. Your first hurdle was to actually prove you did not defame Liskula Cohen. But you have not demonstrated that.

Once again, why would Google or any other company defy a court order under such circumstances, to protect your identity, because you didn't have the guts to publicly state your incendiary views on another model.

Free Speech and Freedom of the Press cover a number of things. However, if you actually defame someone, you can be sued in civil court. The Constitution does not indemnify you from defamation suits.
