Thereupon, the following proceedings were had:
2
MR. RASCO:
3
THE WITNESS:
4
You represent who again?
5
MR. RASCO:
6
MR. CUSICK:
Ready to go? I'm ready.
I represent Frank Preve. Counsel, before you begin,
7
I'm just going to put an objection on the
8
record.
9
On behalf of Emess Capital, as to not
10
being permitted time in this deposition to
11
depose Mr. Rothstein, I object to the counsel
12
for the trustee's violation of the protocol
13
orders, an order permitting Emess to depose
14
Mr. Rothstein at this deposition by trying to
15
shut us out of the deposition.
16
THE COURT REPORTER:
17 18
hearing you, sir. MR. CUSICK:
I'm having trouble
Maybe you move closer. We object to counsel for the
19
trustee's violation of the various protocol
20
orders in trying to shut us out of the
21
deposition by refusing us time to depose Mr.
22
Rothstein, by failing to timely send over his
23
exhibits, in accordance with the protocol
24
orders.
25
On the same basis, we move to strike the
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2354 1
testimony taken by the Trustee and also the
2
testimony taken by TD Bank, based upon the
3
inability to cross-examine Mr. Rothstein as to
4
that testimony, also the failure to abide by
5
the court order by sending over exhibits
6
timely.
7
We reserve the right to depose
8
Mr. Rothstein at a future date, and we reserve
9
all rights against the Trustee and TD Bank.
10
We further object on behalf of all other
11
entities which are represented by the Law Firm
12
of Kluger Kaplan to the extent that the
13
Trustee served notices of taking deposition
14
that were filed in those cases prior to those
15
entities being served with the complaint; and
16
we move to strike those notices of taking
17
deposition.
18 19 20
Thank you very much.
Sorry to eat into
your time. MR. LICHTMAN:
Let the record reflect in
21
the underlying Rothstein, Rosenfeldt & Adler
22
case pending before Judge Cohn, as well as in
23
the protocol orders, neither of them afforded
24
Emess Capital any entitlement whatsoever to
25
take or participate in the questioning of
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2355 1
Mr. Rothstein.
2
order; and, indeed, Emess came late to the
3
table, and as we have told Emess, and numerous
4
other parties, we are hopeful that there will
5
be another round of discrete depositions that
6
don't focus on what we call "the big case" or
7
the other two limited depositions that are
8
commencing today.
9
objections are all completely frivolous and
10
It was a tightly negotiated
So I think that the
baseless and in bad faith.
11
MR. CUSICK:
Also let the record reflect
12
that prior to the first date of the
13
deposition, the Court entered an order
14
permitting Emess to depose Mr. Rothstein and
15
that we were not privy to any discussions
16
concerning the protocols that the depositions
17
and --

MR. SCHLESIGNER:
Guys, we can do all

this during lunch time.

Whereupon, SCOTT W. ROTHSTEIN, acknowledged having been duly sworn to tell the truth

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5

and testified upon his oath as follows:
2
THE WITNESS:
3
MR. NURIK:
4
I do. Counsel, did you send me the
documents?
5
MR. RASCO:
No.
I only have very limited
6
exhibits.
7
actually, you know what, I'll bring them to
8
you right now.
9
probably not going to use them.
10
Mr. Nurik.
I'll bring them up to you -- well,
I only have a few, and I'm I apologize,
Here you go.
11
MR. NURIK:
Thank you.
12
MR. RASCO:
And I'm not going to even get
13
into those just yet.
14 15 16 17 18
FURTHER DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. RASCO: Q
Mr. Rothstein, my name is Ray Rasco.
I
represent Frank Preve. I, again, state for the record that we don't
19
feel that this is sufficient time to fully depose you
20
based on the amount of contact between you and Frank
21
Preve by email, 7,000 emails, and the seriousness of the
22
statements you have been making in your testimony
23
regarding Mr. Preve over the past eight days.
24 25
I just want to try and, with the limited time that I have, clarify some of the issues that we
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2357 1
discussed on Monday when I first spoke with you about
2
Mr. Preve.
3
The first thing that I want to ask is, you
4
said yesterday in your testimony that one of the things
5
that you learned in this massive crime was that you
6
would keep your co-conspirators in the dark as to who
7
the other co-conspirators were.
8
Does that apply to Mr. Preve?
9
A
To a certain extent.
10
Q
Can you explain that a little bit more?
11
A
People on the -- what I'll call "outer
12
circle," people who were doing very specific things,
13
were isolated from other co-conspirators.
14
I'll give you an example.
Frank Preve had a
15
very limited purpose for me.
16
what we were doing; I told him what needed to be done.
17
He did it.
18
I didn't explain to do him
I did not ever sit down with Frank and tell
19
him Deb knows what's going on.
20
Frank and tell him David Boden knows what's going on.
21
That's not the way it worked.
I did not sit down with
Okay.
22
With other people, a guy like Mr. Preve, okay,
23
there was need for him to know about certain people; but
24
there was also need, because I knew he was also having
25
conversations with other people and I didn't now -- you
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2358 1
know, it's not like I knew this man for two decade,
2
okay, I tried to limit, as best as I could, given all
3
the vagaries of a crime of this size, people's knowledge
4
to what they needed to know.
5 6 7
Q
I didn't always succeed.
Well, would that apply to Mr. Preve?
You
tried to limit his knowledge; is that fair to say? A
On certain issues, yes; and the unique thing
8
about Mr. Preve is, is his knowledge grew over time.
9
You can tell by his emails.
If read his email traffic,
10
you know it's clear that there was a point in time where
11
he really didn't know what was going on; and there's a
12
point in time where he is clearly committing fraud after
13
fraud after fraud.
14
Q
And that's based on some of the indicators
15
that you discussed with me on Monday, from his email
16
traffic, as well as certain conversations, for example,
17
that you had with Frank Preve?
18
A
You'd have to be more specific with me.
19
can't remember every word I said on Monday.
20
sit and read the transcript.
21
Q
Okay.
I
I'd have to
Well, let me ask you this, then:
The
22
point at which he began to commit fraud, in your words
23
just this morning, when was that?
24 25
A
You'd have to lay all the email traffic out in
front of me, and I would be able to give you an estimate
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2359 1
of the date.
2
Q
3
Would it go back to December of 2008 or would
it be later, if you recall?
4
A
By December of 2008, he was involved.
5
Q
By December of 2008 he was involved in what
A
I don't recall.
6 7 8 9
way? Again, I'd have to see all
the email traffic. Q
Okay.
What was his role?
You said yesterday
10
that you tried to limit each co-conspirator's role in
11
the crime; can you explain what you limited Frank's role
12
to be?
13
A
I'll have to look at all the email traffic.
14
Q
Okay.
15
A
He was in command of a major feeder fund.
16
Q
Okay.
17 18
Okay.
Was he aware of any other
co-conspirators? A
19
To a limited extent, yes. Would you like me to explain?
20
Q
Yes, please.
21
A
Okay.
22
an example.
23
Okay.
Let's use -- let's use Jack Simony, as
Jack's involvement was simply, whether
24
he knew there was a fraud going on or not, to lie to our
25
upcoming investor.
Frank knew we needed Jack to lie.
I
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2360 1
knew we needed Jack to lie, and Jack knew he had to lie.
2
That's all Jack, to my knowledge, knew.
3
other conversations with Frank about what was really
4
going on; I don't know.
5
He may have had
That's what he was limited to.
If you read emails about -- between me and
6
Frank about John Harris, you'll see there are multiple
7
emails from Frank telling me to get control of John,
8
that he was creating problems.
9
So Frank knew that John was doing things for
10
me that were illegal.
11
of it, I didn't get into it anymore than I needed to.
12
We had discussed it.
The extent
The auditor, Tracy Weintraub, is probably one
13
of the best examples.
14
pocket.
15
balance-sheet audit statements for me, instructed me to
16
scribble on them to make them look like they were
17
real -- and this is all documented in email, okay -- and
18
then to forward them to Tracy.
Frank knew that Tracy was in my
Frank, knowing that, prepared phony
19
There were other times when Tracy sent in
20
questions.
21
we can't answer these questions, that I needed to rein
22
Tracy in, that I needed to get control of him.
23 24 25
Frank would tell me, in email traffic, that
Those are examples of control of certain people, control of the flow of information. Q
Well, just going to John Harris, I don't
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2361 1
recall seeing any emails with respect to Mr. Preve
2
asking to you rein John Harris in; but I do recall the
3
email that we discussed on Monday, which is the email
4
where he discussed where there was a $20-million trust
5
balance in -- for Banyan at Gibraltar Bank.
6
Do you recall that discussion?
7 8
A
Who indicated there was a $20-million trust
balance?
9
Q
Mr. Preve emailed John Harris stating --
10
asking for a line of credit requests, enclosing
11
documents, and saying that this was based on a
12
$21-million trust account that they had, trust account,
13
or trust proceeds that they had at Gibraltar that --
14 15
A off.
I recall something -- I didn't mean to cut you Sorry.
16
Q
-- that they were seeking a line of credit?
17
A
I remember them seeking a line of credit.
I
18
remember there being an issue about the trust balance.
19
I remember Frank being aware, through Mr. Harris, that
20
the money was not there.
21
I don't recall the other specifics of it.
22
You'd have to show me the email traffic around that
23
event.
24
Q
25
Do you recall emailing Mr. Preve and asking
him not to further seek a line of credit at Gibraltar
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2362 1
because John Harris was asking you for settlement
2
documentation?
3
A
It's certainly possible.
I don't have a
4
specific recollection of it, but it sounds like
5
something I would do.
6
Q
Okay.
Moving to Tracy Weintraub, there is the
7
packet of emails that I just handed Mr. Nurik.
8
one that's dated January 15th, 2009, 11:05 a.m., and
9
it's Bate number FP 112310-0143388/1.
10
There is
Your email to him -- it begins with your email
11
to him stating:
12
banking data from me, re: Banyan, for your audit.
13
cannot give him anything from my records, nada, zero,
14
zippo.
15
and audited financials, other than causing a massive
16
explosion that might -- et cetera, et cetera.
17 18
Why is Tracy Weintraub asking for I
My law firm's records have nothing to do Banyan
And that is -A
That's not bad.
It says "burn my wee-wee."
19
It's -- actually, it's not only funny, but it's also
20
clear that Frank and I know that:
21
as little information floating around as possible
22
because the more information that floats, the more
23
information that is passed between parties, the more
24
likely we will have a detection.
25
Q
Okay, we want to have
If Frank knew that, then why does he have over

7,000 emails between you and him?
2
that, there is -- he is --
3
A
I mean, if Frank knew
Well, I understand what you're asking me.
4
MR. SCHERER:
Object to form.
5
THE WITNESS:
I'm sorry?
6
MR. SCHERER:
I just put an objection to
7
form.
8
A
9
You really have to ask your client, because if
you recall my earlier testimony over the last eight
10
days, I was amazed at the level of inculpatory things
11
that Frank would write to me on a regular basis, I mean,
12
right down to the end where he said to me, if he doesn't
13
hear from me, we're going to assume we're on our own.
14
Do you expect us to just sit around and wait to be
15
incarcerated, talking about money missing, talking about
16
the fact that he's given me $25 million without any
17
paper; I mean, one illegal activity after another.
18 19 20
You are going to have to ask him why there is so much email traffic. Q
Well, I mean, why would he put so much into
21
email and seek so much information from you and seek so
22
much information from third parties, if he was in on the
23
fraud?
24
A
25
You would have to ask him that question; I
would be guessing.

Q
And if he knew how much money you were making
2
and if he was in on the fraud, why didn't he make so
3
much money?
4
results that you had?
5
A
Why didn't he have the same financial
6
I was always -MR. SCHERER:
7
A
Object to form.
I was under the impression, and this just my
8
opinion, that he was making plenty of money.
9
BY MR. RASCO:
10 11 12
Q
Making plenty of money through Banyan, you
mean? A
Him, George, other deals, yes, he seemed, to
13
me, to be very well financially situated, and he
14
benefited from our crime.
15
Q
Okay.
Going back to the email that we were
16
just discussing about Tracy Weintraub, the -- Frank
17
responds to that email to January 15th, 2009, at
18
11:00 a.m.:
19
you to confirm our outstanding receivables, just like
20
last year.
The only thing he should be asking is for
21
A
Yes.
22
Q
And is that what you did?
23
A
Do you want me to explain that?
24
Q
Yes, I would like you to explain that, please.
25
A
Okay.
The year before, Berenfeld Spritzer,
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2365 1
through Tracy, tried to get a real significant amount of
2
detailed data from us.
3 4
Frank knew and I knew that that was a big no-no.
5
I went ahead and met with Tracy, explained to
6
him what I needed to explain to him relative to the fact
7
that we're not turning over these documents; that if he
8
wants to be in this game, he needs to go ahead and
9
simply do as little as possible, okay, and get what we
10
needed out; that if he couldn't do the Banyan audit, we
11
would find someone else to do it.
12
He agreed to do it.
So when Frank is here saying, "just like last
13
year," okay, he's telling me:
14
to the deal we established previously, which is a simple
15
confirmation, in letter form, just like last year.
16
That's it, nothing more.
17
Q
Tracy should be adhering
And was that a conversation that you had only
18
with Tracy or that you later indicated to Frank that you
19
had that conversation with Tracy or entered into that
20
deal with Tracy?
21 22
A
I had conversations with both Frank and Tracy
about it.
23
Q
Separately?
24
A
Never together.
25
Q
And you indicated that if he did not -- if he
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2366 1
sought too much information, he was not going to have
2
the job next year; is that accurate?
3
A
I told him that on more than one occasion: my
4
law firm's business, personal business and the Banyan
5
business, yes.
6 7
Q
Okay.
And are you suggesting that Frank at
any time submitted false financials to Tracy?
8
A
He did.
9
Q
Can you explain that?
10
A
You'd have to show me all the records.
11
Q
Are you saying that they audited -- the -- any
12
of Frank's financial information that he sent to Tracy,
13
some of that was fraudulent?
14
A
To my knowledge, yes.
15
Q
With Frank's awareness?
16
A
To my knowledge, yes.
17
Q
And what do you base that knowledge on?
18
A
You'd have to show me all the financial data,
19
and I could show it to you.
20
I can give you a good example:
21
wasn't money in a lot of those accounts, and he was
22
saying that the money existed, and he wanted Tracy to
23
say the money existed.
24
exist because he was my accountant.
25
Q
He knew there
Tracy knew the money didn't
He knew in January of 2009 there wasn't money

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2367 1
in the trust accounts?
2
A
Certain accounts, correct.
3
Q
Based on those emails that we discussed on
4
Monday where there were certain mistakes?
5
A
Emails and many conversations with him.
6
Q
Okay.
If you turn further, there's another
7
email on that subject that I handed you, or to
8
Mr. Nurik.
9
"Level 3 verification."
10
It's dated January 26, 2009, the subject is
It's an emailed, on the bottom, from Michael
11
Szafranski to Ari Glass, indicating that he had met with
12
you, and then indicating that trust account 5104
13
contained $178,857.
14 15
Frank responds to that email saying, Mike, is it 187,000, or 17,000,800 or 178 million.
16 17
Do you see that? A
18
I do. MR. RABIN:
If I could just ask, for the
19
record, are you making these exhibits part of
20
the record and identifying --
21
MR. RASCO:
Yes.
I'm sorry.
22
be -- we had one just now.
23
at?
This will
What number are we
24
MR. RABIN:
The next exhibit is 272.
25
MR. RASCO:
Thanks.

(Thereupon, the document was marked as Preve's Exhibit 272 for Identification.)
3 4
MR. SCHLESIGNER:
Sam, just read it out
so everybody knows.
5
MR. RABIN:
All right.
272 is an email
6
from Preve to Rothstein dated January 15th,
7
2009, at 11:05 a.m.
8 9
BY MR. RASCO: Q
You see the response from Mr. Szafranski
10
stating, I'm sorry, the numbers aren't thousands of
11
dollars, indicating that the proper balance is
12
178 million?
13
A
And this will be Exhibit 273.
14
Q
Yes.
15
A
Okay.
I do see that, yes, sir.
16
Q
Okay.
And are you indicating -- are you
17
saying that that was an indicator that Mr. Preve
18
believed that the money was not in the trust accounts?
19
A
Without seeing email traffic on either side of
20
this, I can't tell you for certain.
21
Mike wrote that.
22 23 24 25
I don't know if
On occasion Mike would write dollars in thousands, dollars in millions. At this point in time, in January 26, 2009, I don't know what Frank was thinking by reading that.
I
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2369 1
would really have to see the email traffic going before
2
that; and for some reason, the email traffic that would
3
have been directed to me right around this time is not
4
here.
5
So without that, I really can't tell you. Q
Okay.
But you agree that Frank's financial
6
statements, to the extent that he produced financial
7
statements to you, were accurate, generally?
8
A
I can't say one way or the other.
9
Q
Did you rely on him for accurate financial
10
information?
11
A
No.
I relied on him to tell me what we were
12
supposed to have in the accounts, minimum.
13
he sends me a lot of emails, in fact you handed me one,
14
where he's telling me what the minimum balance is.
15
There is no investment that I've ever heard of -- maybe
16
you have and you can tell me what it was -- where the
17
investor tells the person handling all the money how
18
much money he should have.
19
You'll see
Generally you ask me what the balance is.
20
tell what the balance is, and if I'm wrong, you pull
21
your investment.
22
Q
I
That's not how we worked.
If there are occasions where the trust
23
balances were not reflecting what Mr. Preve thought they
24
were -- well, first of all, he was telling you what he
25
thought they were based on the deals that you were
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2370 1 2
entering into the bank, correct? A
Based on the amount of money he was sending
3
me -- you have got to remember, there came a long period
4
of time where there really was no deal paperwork at all;
5
he was simply relying on that little deal blurb and how
6
much money he was sending me and how much, based upon
7
that little blurb, I was sending him back.
8
a lot of confusion.
9
So there was
There was also confusion because he would
10
regularly send me money.
11
then he would send me half back.
12
just tell me where you apply.
13
and say, tell me what old deals we're going to apply
14
this to or should I have -- great example:
15
have Centurion fund this again, or is that just going to
16
create too much of a headache trying to reverify the
17
plaintiff receiving the money?
I would send him payments, and Then he would say,
Then he would come back
Should I
18
Q
Are you referring to a specific email there?
19
A
No, not -- that email is in the prior
20 21 22
emails -Q
Okay.
Not in the ones that I handed you this
morning?
23
A
No, I didn't see it here.
24
Q
Okay.
25
Didn't you indicate to Mr. Preve
that -- well, first of all, he was accounting for, on
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2371 1
his end, what he thought the deals were that Banyan had
2
entered into, whether they were funding them
3
specifically or somebody else was funding them?
4
A
You'd have to ask him what he was doing.
5
would send me what he thought needed to be in the
6
accounts, and I would instruct Irene to correct it.
7
On many occasions he would actually write
He
8
directly to Irene and say these balances are off, fix
9
it.
10
Q
If there were instances where there were
11
balances that were less than the minimum requirement, do
12
you recall if you indicated to Mr. Preve that that was
13
as a result of you not having -- that was as a result of
14
you putting the money in the wrong Banyan trust account?
15
A
I did that once or twice.
16
Q
And if the balances sometimes weren't
I remember that.
17
accurate, did you indicate to Mr. Preve that could be
18
because you had not paid experts or you had not taken
19
your attorney's fees out?
20
A
On certain occasions I did.
You have to look
21
at the timing.
22
look at the timing, and then look at the emails around
23
it to determine the full extent of Mr. Preve's knowledge
24
at the time because at a point in time when he's fully
25
aware of what's going on.
You have to look at specific emails,
There's a lot of Ponzi-speak
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2372 1
there.
2
We are talking about "transferring money," for
3
example.
4
changing balances.
5
We're not transferring money; we're just Okay.
We talk about me "putting money someplace."
6
"Putting money someplace," is simply putting the number
7
someplace.
8
Q
I understand.
9
The email that I just showed you regarding the
10
178 million, you testified on Monday about an email that
11
indicated that there was a mistake of a billion dollars
12
or about a billion dollars; do you recall that email?
13
A
I recall those emails.
14
Q
This is not that email, correct?
15
A
No.
16
Q
The second email in the packet that I just
17
gave you is dated November 18th, 2008, 11:06 a.m.
18
from -- the bottom is from Frank to you, and it's
19
subject matter is "stuff."
20
A
Okay.
21
Q
The third point on that email, it states:
It's
22 23
Need Commerce balance numbers. And you respond above:
See below.
And you
24
indicate the responses to the question is right after.
25
Do you agree that those responses behind the
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2373 1
questions are your writing?
2
A
Yes.
3
Q
Okay.
You indicate that you're going to
4
provide him the balances in Commerce Bank when you get
5
back to the office this afternoon?
6
A
Yes, the fake balance numbers, correct.
7
Q
And on number four, it says, do I get to sign
8
in, quote, unquote, online like milk toast does?
9
And you respond:
Nope, I should not be
10
showing him; but if you want to stand over his shoulder
11
while he and I hold hands --
12
COURT REPORTER:
I need you to slow down:
13
"If you want to stand over his shoulder while
14
he and I hold hands...
15 16
BY MR. RASCO: Q
17 18
"-- and sign on, be my guest." Is that your writing there, as well?
A
19
Yes. Would you like me to explain that?
20
Q
Yes, I would.
21
A
Look at the way he writes this:
22 23 24 25
Do I get to
sign, and the word "online" is in quotes. The word "online" is in quotes because he knows we're not going online. What Frank was pushing me to do was have

Page 2374 1
Curtis and Bill sets up a fake website for him so that
2
he could use it with investors over at his office.
3
It's my, also, humorous response to him.
4
Q
Well, you're indicating, now, that Frank knew
5
that there was a fake website and that he wanted you to
6
create a fake website for him?
7
A
I'll answer that with a question:
Can you
8
think of any reason why he would put the word "online"
9
in quotes if we were really going online?
10
Q
I'm not sure why he wrote "online" in quotes,
11
but I do know that he was seeking verification of trust
12
balances from you, not just through this email, but
13
through hundreds of emails.
14 15
My question is:
Was he aware that this --
that TD Bank/Commerce Bank website was a fake website?
16
A
Yes.
17
Q
How do you know?
18
A
I told him.
19
Q
You told him in a conversation or by email?
20
A
In a conversation.
21
Q
Was anybody else present?
22
A
Never.
23
Q
Do you know if he ever discussed that fact
24 25
with Szafranski? A
I have no idea one way or the other.
I doubt

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2375 1 2
it. Q
Okay.
And you're indicating that by --
3
certainly by this time, November of 2008, he would have
4
known that the trust balances either were nonexistent or
5
not -- were certainly inaccurate?
6
A
Yes.
7
Q
And he knew that from this time, through the
8
end of the Ponzi in October of 2009, right?
9
A
Yes.
10
Q
Okay.
And we talked about an email on Monday
11
relating to a $300-million shortage.
12
October 30th or 31st.
13
amount that was in the trust balances.
14
left for Morocco.
15 16 17 18
It was
He was asking you exactly the You had already
Do you recall that discussion? A
I don't.
You'd have to show me the email
traffic. THE WITNESS:
And just -- I don't mean to
19
interrupt you, but just for your own
20
record-keeping and since there is so many days
21
and so many exhibits, you need to mark these.
22
MR. RASCO:
23
in sequential order?
Can we mark them on break and

Yes.
It's okay with me.

don't want you to get documents -- because we
2
have a lot of documents floating around here
3
without stickers.
4
MR. LICHTMAN:
Does the record clearly
5
indicate what the document is so it can be
6
matched and there's clarity in the record?
7
MR. RASCO:
I specifically stated the
8
dates in the emails and the subject each time
9
I've asked about them.
10 11
COURT REPORTER:
Are you going to be
marking more documents?
12
MR. RASCO:
13
COURT REPORTER:
Maybe one or two. Okay.
Because if it
14
gets too far afield, that's how exhibits get
15
out of order.
16 17
MR. RASCO:
I'm almost done with the
exhibits.
18
Can you read where I left off?
19
(Whereupon, the requested portion of the
20
record was read back by the court reporter as recorded
21
above.)
22 23 24 25
MR. RASCO:
Okay.
Thank you.
BY MR. RASCO: Q
And there was an email -- and I'm not going to
go into it now, but I marked it as an exhibit in the

composite exhibit binder that I handed you on Monday --
2
stating that Frank was asking you, you know, what's
3
the -- what's the amount -- he had asked you to
4
authorize Debra to give him an account balances.
5
You said you already did.
6
And then you asked -- and then he said, she
7
has, it she doesn't have the authority.
8 9
He then asked you, what's the shortage, is it 300 million, something to that effect.
10 11
And you said, that's not the shortage. the amount of money to repay the investors.
12
Do you recall that?
13
A
I do.
14
Q
Okay.
15 16 17 18
That's
My question:
referring to as the shortage? A
Do you have an idea?
Without seeing the email, I don't want to
render a guess. Q
What do you think he's
Okay.
I would be completely guessing. Do you think it might be shortage in
19
funding; in other words, funding from sources like the
20
Von Allmen Group or the hedge funds?
21
A
No.
I think the shortage -- and I'm
22
speculating, but I think the shortage he's referring to
23
is, is how much money do we need to put into the trust
24
accounts so that we could pay out everything we were
25
supposed to pay out, had this all been real.

Did you often indicate --

But I'm guessing.
3
Q
Okay.
4
MR. NURIK:
5
Excuse me, Counsel.
If you
have it there, why don't you show it to him?

MR. RASCO:
7
but give me a second.
8
on this.
9
BY MR. RASCO:
10
Q
I -- I'm happy to show it, I'm going from memory
I'm sorry, I have don't have it in front of
11
me.
12
asking you, specifically:
13
"shortage" in the past, during the Bar issue, indicating
14
that the hedge funds weren't funding at the same levels
15
that they were before?
16
I don't want to take anymore time, but I'm just
A
If you had used the word
I actually -- and I would have to see the
17
email traffic; but I actually don't recall using the
18
word "shortage" to describe money that hadn't been
19
funded by the hedge funds.
20
"they haven't funded."
21
shortage in funding.
Normally I would just say
I wouldn't say there's a
22
"Shortage," the way Frank is writing it to me
23
is: what is the shortage in the accounts, how much have
24
you stolen, what's missing.
25
But, again, I'm just guessing.

Q
Okay.
You used, on various occasions, with
2
Frank and other parties, starting with the April 2009
3
Bar issue, the fact that the hedge funds weren't funding
4
at previous levels --
5
A
Correct.

Q
-- you used that as an excuse to not pay out

to Banyan or to other investors; is that fair?

Correct.

Okay.

Okay.
I will show you this email.
This is the Composite Exhibit 206, which I marked on Monday.
16 17
I don't recall that.
that email traffic.
13
15
And you used that again with the Von
A
All right.
Are you talking about the
October 31st, 2009, email --
18
Q
Yes.
19
A
-- from me to George?
20
Q
Correct, from you to George.
21
A
Yes.
22
Q
We have.
23 24 25
We have talked about this extensively. I have a few more questions about
it. You indicated that email was a false exculpation of Frank, not of George, right?

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2380 1
A
Well, I've testified over and over that I'm
2
not sure what George knew.
3
don't know what he knew.
As I sit here today, I still So --
4
Q
Well, you did indicate.
5
A
Hang on.
6
It would clearly be an exculpation of Frank --
7
Q
It --
8
A
-- and George, if he needed it.
9
Q
Okay.
It would clearly be a false
10
exculpation?
11
A
Yes, a false exculpation.
12
Q
Okay.
You testified on Monday the latter part
13
of the time about being a liar, thief and scum bag; that
14
was true, in your mind at the time?
15
A
Yes.
16
Q
Okay.
And the part about you either going to
17
jail or dying, that was true or accurate in your mind at
18
the time, as well, right?
19
A
Yes.
20
Q
Okay.
And the -- that email was written, if
21
you recall, in response to an email or various emails
22
from George Levin trying to, quote, unquote, bail you
23
out, trying to help you resolve the issues that you were
24
in, without him fully understanding what was going on?
25
A
In part, yes.
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2381 1
Q
And so the part about him asking you -- about
2
you telling him, don't try to bail me out of this, that
3
was accurate in your mind, as well, wasn't it?
4
already knew that it would be impossible for him to bail
5
you?
6 7
A
I don't how what was possible or not possible.
You'd have to define "bail" me out.
8 9
You
If he could get access to a lot of money, he could bail out the financial part; but he certainly
10
wasn't going to bail me out of the fact that I had
11
committed a giant crime.
12
Q
So the only part of that email that is untrue
13
is the part about the exculpation; you and George did
14
nothing wrong?
15
A
The only part in here that I know for certain
16
that is false is:
17
false.
18 19 20
Frank did nothing wrong.
That is
It is all together possible that to a great extent, George did, in fact, do nothing wrong. Q
You've testified that this was the first time
21
in your life that -- or at least the several past years,
22
that you were coming clean, that you were being honest
23
with yourself; is that fair, in this time period?
24 25
A
At this moment?
I don't think at this moment
I was coming clean with myself.
I think I was trying

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5

to.
2
Until I made the decision to step foot on a
3
plane and leave a non-extradition country, knowing that
4
I was coming back to go to prison, I don't think until I
5
made that ultimate decision that I had fully reconciled
6
with myself that it was time to completely change the
7
person that I am, to change my life and to do the right
8
thing.
9
Q
10 11
And this was the only email that you recall
that you were falsely exculpating Frank; is that right? A
I don't recall.
You'd have to show me the
12
email traffic.
13
see the traffic to tell you one way or the other.
14 15 16
Q
I have sent so many emails, I need to
Did you -- do you recall falsely exculpating
anybody else? A
We looked at emails the other day.
I don't
17
want to speculate when we have definitive email traffic
18
to establish one way or the other.
19
see the emails and answer based upon emails, instead of
20
guessing.
21 22 23 24 25
Q
So I would like to
Just your independent recollection, anybody
else that you were trying to falsely exonerate? A
I don't recall.
I believe there were, but the
names are escaping me right at this moment. Q
Okay.
And to your recollection now, as you
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2383 1
sit here, was there anything else that you may have done
2
to falsely exculpate Frank or anybody else?
3
A
Oh, wait.
5
Q
Was that through email?
6
A
I'm -- yes, I think there was -- there was an
7
email.
8
Q
Okay.
9
A
I think -- again, it makes no sense to me to
4
I tried -- I falsely exculpated
Stu.
10
try to have me guess when we have email traffic that
11
establishes definitively one way or the other.
12
Q
I'm only asking you because I haven't seen any
13
email traffic that establishes you sending any other
14
emails that would falsely exculpate anybody else.
15
A
On, no, I did.
16
Q
Okay.
And in doing so, when you did do so, do
17
you recall if it was a simple statement like this one
18
with respect to Frank, or was it more detailed?
19
A
I would be guessing.
20
Q
Okay.
And you were aware, by that time, that
21
there were thousands of emails between you and Mr. Preve
22
that indicated that he may have known something was
23
amiss?
24
A
You're asking me my opinion?
25
Q
Yes.

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2384 1
A
At that point in time I believed that there
2
were thousands of emails proving clearly that Frank was
3
involved in a major fraud.
4 5 6
Q
Then why would you think that such a simple
statement would be any help to Frank? A
Fortunately for you, you've never had to be in

Q
Okay.
19
A
-- that I perceived as good.
20
The truth is, now, as I sit here today, after
21
having made the decision to come clean and admit
22
everything I've done wrong, I don't think that trying to
23
falsely exculpate those people was the right thing.
24
What I should have done was picked up the
25
phone called them, called Mr. Preve and the others that

Turn yourself in. Let's do the right
That's what I should have done. Q
Do you remember that both Frank and George
7
were calling you and texting you or emailing you
8
repeatedly?
9
A
Yes.
10
Q
And you indicated on Monday that you did not
11
Yes.
want to speak with them?
12
A
Correct.
13
Q
And why was it that you didn't want to speak
14 15
with them? A
I was very emotionally attached to them.
I
16
was very emotional at the time, okay, and I did not want
17
to speak to them.

myself to do it.
19
was away.
20 21
Q
I -- I just -- I couldn't bring I spoke to very limited people while I
Are you suggesting that Frank in any way
created fake documents in the Ponzi scheme?
22
A
Yes.
23
Q
Can you explain that?
24
A
You'd have to show me the documents.
25
I could
tell you then whether they were fake or not.

Page 2386 1
Q
Can you give me a time frame?
2
A
From -- I would be guessing.
3 4 5 6
Throughout 2009
we created false documents together. Q
You actually sat with Mr. Preve to create
false documents together? A
No.
He created fake things and sent them to
7
me, and I created fake things and sent them to him.
8
Sometimes we were on the phone together.
9
Q
Do you mean agreements or trust balances?
10
A
Trust balances is a good example, but to me
11
that's not creating it, you know.
12
define the word "created" for me.
13
Again, you'd have to
If I create the document through Debra or
14
Irene and then I send it to him and he doesn't like the
15
balances and he wants me to change them to a different,
16
false number, by your definition, is that him creating
17
the document?
18
He's giving me false input to help me create
19
the false document, which is what he did; but you've got
20
to be more precise with me.
21
Q
Okay.
Well, just to be specific, are you
22
talking about only deal documents here?
23
talking about anything outside of the deals that you
24
were entering into with Banyan?
25
A
Well, sure.
We're not
Sure I am, because Frank helped

me create, at length, fake opinion letters that I then
2
had other lawyers put on their letterhead.

4
type of law, knows nothing about this type of business;

he is a criminal defense lawyer.

People who
He took a fake opinion
We put all this crazy stuff in there, okay,
8
that we needed to perpetrate this scheme and to keep it
9
going and to get people to invest more dollars in the
10
fraud.
11
And then, he knows -- he knows Ken Padowitz is
12
a criminal defense lawyer.
13
Padowitz put it on his letterhead, have Padowitz sign it
14
and then we take it and I give it to Frank.
15
starts handing it out, and I handed it out.
16
Q
I put this thing on -- had
And Frank
So Frank handed it out, but in addition to
17
handing it out, you're saying he actually helped you
18
create that document?
19
A
Absolutely.
20
Q
How did he do so?
21
A
He gave me language that went in there.
Yes.
I --
22
I wasn't an expert in those areas.
23
knew banking, people who knew that area of the corporate
24
finance, helping me prepare that letter.

Q
I had people who
What was the letter opining on?

conclusions that the strategy was legal.

All of the people that gave input into that
9
Q
Did he provide input verbally or in writing?
10
A
I don't recall whether he did some in writing.
11
You'd have to take a look through the email traffic, but
12
definitely verbally and definitely on paper in some
13
format.
14 15 16
Q
Whether it was handwritten or by email or on
the document itself, you're not clear? A
There were times when Frank and I would sit
17
down and scribble on documents that we had, notes, that
18
type of thing.
19
We were sitting together.
If I was sitting in the office and we were
20
doing something nefarious, I don't think he needed to
21
send me an email to confirm what we just discussed.
22
could do it on paper there; but, again, I would need to
23
see the documents.
24 25
Q
We

settlement funding, that Frank would have been involved

in falsely creating?
2
A
I just said the opinion letters.
3
Q
Just the opinion, I'm asking beyond the
4 5 6
opinion letters. A
I have to see all the documents, and then I
could tell you one by one whether he had input into it.
7
Q
Were you aware that Banyan --
8
A
Wait a second.
9
He helped put -- with Tracy, he helped put
10
together that audit letter.
11
the contents of the audit letter.
12
if you look at the email traffic, one of the things that
13
is completely off the charts with regard to a, quote,
14
unquote, independent audit of books and records, is that
15
Tracy, pursuant to my request, forwarded a copy --
16
provided a copy of the audit letter to Frank Preve for
17
his comments before completing it, which is a big no-no
18
as I understand it in the financial audit world.
19 20 21
Q
He had direct input into As a matter of fact,
But what did Frank do that was wrong, as far
as providing Tracy comments? A
He had added false information, corrected
22
information that would have led potential investors to
23
believe that there was a fraud, cleaned it up so that we
24
wouldn't get in trouble and gave it back to Tracy.
25
Tracy then corrected the document and put it in final

form. Q
Can you point to specifically anything that he
added that was false?
4
A
Sure.
5
Q
I don't have it with me today.
6
Show me the letter. I'll save that
for another day.
7
Are you aware that Banyan was obtaining
8
opinion letters from legal -- from their own legal
9
counsel?
10
A
Sure.
I helped them formulate certain
11
information that they provided that was false to
12
Greenspoon Marder so that they could get them to write
13
an opinion letter.
14 15 16
Q
And you're aware they also obtained opinion
letters from Hutchinson Steffen? A
I remember at least one or two other firms
17
that they went to, but you have got to remember
18
something:
19
starters, contain nothing about the payment
20
irregularities that were going on.
21
Look at those opinion letters.
They, for
So just from that small spot of illegality,
22
okay, he was providing false information, because there
23
was all kinds of problems with trust balances not being
24
right and payments being missed and payments being late
25
and documents not being prepared; and then we get these

information.
6
Q
That's all based upon false
You indicated that -- on Monday that one of
7
the indicators that you knew Frank was aware of the
8
fraud was the fact that he was using money from the
9
deals to pay certain bills of Levin's?
10
A
Yes.
11
Q
You're not aware that he was using it for his
12
own purposes, other than that?

A

doing.
15
money that was supposed to be investor money and paying
16
Levin's personal bills with it.
17
I don't know one way or the other what he was I do not know.
I just know that he was taking
As a matter of fact, I think there is an email
18
that we looked at yesterday where he says he needs $10
19
million out of all the money we have to pay George's
20
personal bills.
21
Q
After 2009, essentially, the hedge funds were
22
cut off and Banyan was cut off getting the payments that
23
they were supposed to receive, at least the scheduled
24
payments they were supposed to receive, right?

2

Q
And you were indicated that the trust accounts
4
were blocked, right?
5
A
Yes.
6
Q
Did you tell Frank that because that was
7
occurring and because certain bills were due for Banyan
8
and the Levins, that you were going to bring your own
9
money from New York and pay them out of that money?
10
Yes.
I told him I would borrow the money or
11
bring my own money in, which should have been a giant
12
red flag; but money was money to us at that point in

time.

A
I asked him to put on a shirt and tie because

he usually dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Rothstein? A
Unfortunately, I was very good at what I was
doing, yes, ma'am. Q
By the way, before you got caught up in all of
this, had you read up on con-artists and the tricks of
10
their trade?
11
A
I'm certain that somewhere along the line I
12
had read about cons but if you're asking me if I did
13
research for the role, no, I did not.

Q
It came naturally?

A
It's not that it came naturally.
It's just I

Q
Judge Cohn, "The marketing component of the
20
fraud focused on attracting investors with deep
21
pockets."

Is that what you did? A
Yes, ma'am.
That's -- I just testified to

A
Yes, ma'am.

You maintained political connections

Yes, and all the way out to Plantation.

Q
To the governor's mansion in Tallahassee and

all the way to the United States Congress in Washington

Q
"The local society page," Judge Cohn, "was
16
constantly adorned with photographs of you and your wife
17
arm-in-arm with sports celebrities, politicians,
18
community leaders, and socialites."
19
Is that right?
20
A
That's correct.
21
Q
The political contributions, which were
22
funneled through your law firm's attorneys, their wife's
23
and other employees, placed the Rothstein brand in much
24
demand?
25
A
That's correct.

Q
The philanthropy, which included donations to

hospitals, religious and charitable organizations

endeared you as one of Broward County's most prolific
4
benefactors?
5
A
That's correct.
6
Q
And the police security details, the dinners

with law enforcement, and the trips to sporting events

MR. SCHERER:

MR. NURIK:

Objection to form. Let the record reflect that
11
the reason he's pausing is because there is

the anticipation of a possible objection based

the government the opportunity to decide

whether or not to interpose that objection.

A
I think that's standard in a deposition, to
make my testimony be sworn testimony.

Q
And you took an oath to tell the truth, right?
13
A
Every day that I've been deposed.
14
Q
And the lawyers -- when I mentioned discussion

before, the lawyers questioning you over these days have
16
often made a point that you're under oath or reminding
17
you that you're under oath, right?
18 19 20
A
They made the point, and I made the point.
Remember this morning, I asked to be put under oath? Q
And you do that because you want folks to
21
believe that since you're taking an oath, you're saying

the truth, right?

No, actually.
I really want to not have to

Well, I don't now if I had a "plan B."
4
Q
You paid off the yacht, right?
5 6
MR. NURIK: A
Well, let him finish.
Let me finish the answer.
7
My "plan B" was the fact that the owner of the
8
company is a criminal, okay, and it was very easy to fix
9
what we needed to fix.
I paid money to him so that his
10
ex-wife wouldn't know what was going on and so that his
11
daughter and his CFO would not know what was going on.
12
It's not a "plan B."

business with criminals, you don't need to have a

You're misstating all of my prior testimony.
It's not a "plan B." I had Ed Morse's son, who is the CEO and

criminal acts was me, including assisting me in stealing

In late 2009, when you were afraid that your
6
Ponzi was going to implode without a big infusion of
7
cash, wasn't "plan B" to threaten the doctrine of mutual

destruction?
9
A
Yes, along with other criminals, that's
10
correct.

trying to say that I -- if one thing wasn't working, I
12
tried something else, the answer is yes.

Q
If you want to call it a "plan B" -- you're
All right.
And when the Ponzi scheme did

failure, was to either flee to Morocco or kill yourself?

Your plan was to
At the time that I decided to come back, I had
13
no idea what was going to happen to me.
14
I had with my wife and other people that I was talking
15
to who were counselling me, revolved around the fact
16
that when I stepped back on U.S. soil, I could very

likely die in prison.
18
it was a very real possibility, I came back.
19
Q
The discussions
Despite the fact that I knew that
Before you got on that plane in Morocco to
20
return to the United States, you had decided that you
21
were going to begin cooperating with the government in
22
the hopes of reducing your sentence?
23 24 25
A
I had made a decision to come back and tell
the truth about everything I was involved in. I had already been -- without getting into

anything that would waive attorney-client privilege,
2
okay, and my spousal privilege, okay, I was under the
3
belief that I could die in prison, regardless of what I
4
told anybody.
5 6
So I made a decision to leave what I believed was a safe haven to come back to this.

Do I now hope that I will get a reduction?

course I do.

I'm answering questions, and I know
8
you want to stay on your roll, but I want to make sure
9
the record is clear.
10 11 12
He got up representing me.
Okay.
And make no
mistake about it, Mr. Nurik was furious with me. Q
And the reason he got up and argued on your
13
behalf was to attempt to convince the judge that what
14
you deserved was a sentence of 30 years not 40 years
15
like Mr. Lavecchio was asking?
16 17 18 19
A
Yes.
BY MS. BARZEE-FLORES: Q
Okay.
And you had a letter from Herb Stettin
that was presented to the judge, right?
20
A
I don't recall.
21
Q
Do you know who Herb Stettin is?
22
A
I do.
23
Q
And you don't recall him having written Judge
24 25
Cohn a letter for you? A
It's kind of a blur.
I remember my mom wrote

a letter.
2
because we talked about it earlier in testimony,
3
Mr. Scherer wrote a letter.
My sister wrote a letter.
I remember now,
4
Q
And the point --
5
A
I remember that there was a really -- now,
6
because I hadn't seen it before -- nasty letter written
7
by Coquina.
8
Q
9 10 11
The point of all those letters, the good and
the nasty, were to influence the judge in the judge's sentencing determination, right? A
I believe the purpose is to properly educate
12
the judge so he can make as informed decision as
13
possible, yes.
14
Q
So, now that the government has filed a
15
Rule 35, you'll have another sentencing hearing before
16
Judge Cohn, right?
17 18
A
I don't know.
I don't know if there's going
to be a hearing or not.
19
I understand it could be done by the Court; it
20
could be done without me there.
21
happen.
I don't know what will
22
Q
Do you hope to have a hearing?
23
A
I hope to get a Rule 35 reduction for my
24 25
substantial assistance -Q
You want somebody to tell the judge what you

did? A
Why are you cutting me off?
Just let me
finish, please.
4
I hope to have a Rule 35 substantial
5
assistance reduction.
6
the judge and the government; it's not up to me.
7
Q
How we get there, that's up to
Don't you hope that there's a hearing that
8
Mr. Lavecchio gets up, asks and tells the judge about
9
how much you've done?
10
A
If that is going to help educate the Court,
11
then yes, I hope there's a hearing.
12
doesn't require that information or to hear from me or
13
to hear from other people, then that's what will happen.
14
Q
If the Court
And you hope that at such a hearing, your
15
lawyer will have an opportunity to tell the judge what
16
you've done and how you deserve to have your sentence
17
reduced?
18
A
I hope that all the information about
19
everything that I've done since my return from Morocco
20
is presented in full to the Court; and I hope that he's
21
fair with me, that he considers everything that I've
22
done before and after and comes to a fair determination
23
for me.
24 25
Q
That's my hope. And you hope Herb Stettin provides the judge
with information that the judge might find favorable to

you?
2
A
3
I think I've answered this over and over. I hope that every single person that has
4
something to offer about anything positive that I have
5
done since my return from Morocco is heard so that the
6
judge can make a fair decision based upon everything
7
that he should consider to determine whether or not I'm
8
entitled to a reduction.
9
Q
And you believe that the more the judge hears
10
that's favorable about you, the more likely it will be
11
that the judge will reduce your sentence?
12
MR. SCHERER:
13
A
Object to form.
I don't know that it's like a "more" thing.
I
14
think it's the -- an examination of my cooperation.
15
don't know that it's like you stack all the cooperation
16
up.
17
BY MS. BARZEE-FLORES:
18
I
It's based upon the quality of my cooperation.
Q
Let's talk about that, Mr. Rothstein.
19
When you talk about the quality of your
20
cooperation and the quantity of your cooperation,
21
certainly, if your cooperation entails nothing more than
22
advising the government about somebody who had passed a
23
fake check once at a bank, you could not expect a
24
sentence reduction as large as you might expect if you
25
provided information that led to the indictment of five
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221

people, including a politician or a judge, including a
2
lawyer or a doctor, correct?
3
A
4 5
Or a banker. ALL PRESENT:
A
Object to form.
I believe that that is a fair statement, that
6
the judge -- that the government, first, will evaluate;
7
and then the judge will evaluate it, based upon the
8
quantity, but more importantly, the quality of my
9
cooperation.
10 11
BY MS. BARZEE-FLORES: Q
And certainly, if Judge Stettin (sic) and
12
Mr. Scherer and Mr. Lichtman come in and say to the
13
judge, not only did he help the government, but he
14
helped us, and he helped our clients, who deserve to be
15
helped, that that may help you get your sentence reduced
16
further?
17
A
Assuming that the Court wishes to consider
18
that, that would be helpful; but I can't guess as to
19
what he's going to consider or not consider.
20
Q
But you can tell us --
21
A
The only thing I know about --
22
Q
-- what you hope.
23
A
Yes, I hope he considers everything that I've
24
done, sure.

You said in response to questions this morning
21
that you were amazed that people would write so many
22
incriminating things in emails, correct?
23
A
Yes.
24
Q
All right.
25
Was it your conscious desire to
try to avoid writing incriminating things in emails?
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2459 1
A
2
It was and it wasn't. There were times when I was very careful not
3
to put incriminating things in emails, and looking back
4
on it, there were times when I wrote things I probably
5
shouldn't have written.
6
Q
Would it be fair to say that you were
7
conscious of the fact you were trying to leave as few
8
trails as possible of your illegal acts?
9
A
At times I was and at times I wasn't.
10
Q
The subject of tax fraud has come up at least
11
two or three times in the course of this deposition; and
12
each time, you've said that you committed fraud the
13
wrong way because, I guess, you're suggesting that you
14
paid more taxes than you should have?
15
A
I did.
16
Q
Okay.
Did you include in your taxes all of
17
the cash that you were pulling out in cash and using in
18
your various assorted and sundry matters?
19
A
Not by listing it as cash, but I more than
20
accounted for it in the income that I -- that I
21
declared.
22
Q
Okay.
So you didn't specifically indicate the
23
amount of cash on your tax return that you were -- that
24
you were using or that you had?
25
A
I didn't say it was cash.
I -- it was more

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5

than included.
2
What I did was, so you know, Mr. Rabin, was, I
3
wanted to avoid an audit; or if I got an audit, I wanted
4
them to, as they were going through it, determine that,
5
wait a second, this guy doesn't owe any taxes, if
6
anything we owe him money.
7 8 9
So I instructed Tracy Weintraub to inflate my income by tens of millions of dollars, which he did. Q
So, essentially, what you're saying is you
10
paid more taxes, but you lied about the manner in which
11
you did it?
12
A
Yeah.
I'm not -- by no means, Mr. Rabin, I'm
13
not trying to excuse my conduct.
14
didn't commit fraud on the IRS.
15
the fact that I kind of did it in a backwards fashion.
16
Q
I'm not saying I I'm just pointing out
Another theme that you've developed through
17
the course of this deposition in your answers is that
18
you told the people that were involved in your Ponzi
19
scheme just what you needed to tell them in order to get
20
them to do the things that you needed them to do; is
21
that fair to say?

BY MR. RABIN:

Q
Okay.
I want to break these down into groups

and try and get your best recollection as to what you

told different people in order to engage them in your

scheme.

your law firm.
And I want to start first with the people in Okay?
8
A
Sure.
9
Q
All right.
Russell Adler, you generally
10
described the fact that he helped you round up other
11
lawyers to provide false verifications that they were
12
either sending business or cases to your firm, correct?
13
A
That is one of the things that he did, yes.
14
Q
And what was the -- what was it that you told
15
him was the reason why you needed those lawyers?
16 17
First of all, was it honest or a lie and what was the --
18
A
No, it was honest.
19
Q
Okay.
20 21
And what -- it was honest, what you
told him? A
I told Mr. Adler -- to the best of my
22
recollection, I told him that we had the hedge funds
23
coming in town and that in order to convince them to
24
continue to do business with us, that I needed these
25
people to lie about the number of cases we had.

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5

Q
So, essentially, what you're saying is, you
2
honestly told him aspects of the scheme or he already

knew aspects of the scheme and you told him the honest

purpose for which you were lining up these lawyers?

David Boden, generally what was David
Boden's role? A
He was my general counsel, and he ran a
sub-Ponzi scheme, as we've come to call it. Q
All right.
And what was the lie that you told
or the honest information that you gave David Boden in

order to let him get involved in your scheme?
2
MR. SCHERER:
3 4
A
Object to form.
I would have to see all the email traffic with
him to break that down for you, Mr. Rabin.
5
There were things that I told him that were
6
true about the scheme.
7
him that were false about the scheme.
8
he told me that were true about his scheme and things
9
that he told me that were false about his scheme.
10
There were things that I told There were things
There was -- David and I were engaged in so
11
much lying back and forth that without seeing that email
12
traffic, there's just no way I can pinpoint that for
13
you.
14
Q
So --
15
A
It's impossible.
16
Q
Well, you wouldn't put lies in an email,
17
though, would you?
18
A
Of course I did.
19
Q
You did?
20
A
I think I've been saying that for now eight
21 22
days and a couple of hours. Q
So without looking at the emails, is it your
23
testimony that you have no independent recollection of
24
anything that you told David Boden regarding what you
25
needed to say to get him to help you?

It's not that I don't have -- I mean, I can

sit here and start -- try to think about it, but giving
3
me the emails would refresh my recollection and make it
4
a lot easier on all of us.
5
Q
And that also has been a common theme

throughout the course of the eight days or nine days;

questions as follow-up that will get you to where you're

Boden how to use the fake TD website.

to avoid going to the wrong places that would actually
25
take him to a real TD website.

A
Sure, sure.
7
Q
Can you tell him what the purpose of the fake
8 9
TD Bank website was when you showed him that? A
I -- he knew what it was.
That's why he
10
wanted to use the fake TD website; he was going to use
11
it to induce his investors.
12
Q
Okay.
13
A
By the same token, early on, before he knew
Go ahead.
14
there was a Ponzi scheme, I told him that these were
15
legitimate investments, so he had heard both.
16
much like that with many people who originally thought
17
that what we were doing was legitimate; and as they came
18
to detect red flags, realized that there were crimes
19
going on, and they, themselves, made the decision to get
20
involved, based upon requests that I made of -- for them
21
to do various things.
22
It was
I told him in conversations to be very careful
23
what he wrote to me, that I didn't know whether Curtis

you write to me -- this was towards the end, let's say
5
from June, July, until the implosion -- be very careful
6
when he was writing to me because I was afraid that
7
someone might be reading my emails.
8
to increase the security level on our email system and
9
the encryption.
10
I was going to try
I told him to be very careful what he told

Pearson, Richard Pearson.
12
to worry about Pearson.
13
He told me that I didn't need

17
I was committing with Tracy Weintraub, because David was
18
a very, very bright corporate-paper man.
19
I mean, I had a lot of

detailed conversations with him on an opinion letter

the other people that were involved in putting together
2
prior opinion letters, had placed the false information
3
in there.
4
I had conversations with him about what to
5
show people and what not to show people and how best to
6
sell the product.
7 8
I gave him extensive one-on-one--- let's call them primers on how to sell product.
9 10 11
I mean, David was a confidant.
There's a lot
that I told him. Q
Okay.
Let me move on to yesterday, I believe
12
it was, you identified Adelita Cabello as a Stuart
13
Rosenfeldt's paralegal and the person that you had act
14
the part of a Florida Bar lawyer?
15
A
Correct.
16
Q
How many times did she do that?
17
A
Once.
18
Q
Okay.
19
And was that the only time you had
somebody pose as a Florida Bar lawyer?
20
A
To the best of my recollection.
21
Q
Okay.
22 23
And what was it you told Ms. Cabello in
order to get her to do that? A
I gave her some specific questions that they
24
were going to ask.
25
and I told her that if they asked anything that she
I briefed her on how to answer them,
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2468 1
couldn't answer or was uncomfortable answering, to
2
simply say that that's Bar privilege or something to
3
that effect, that she couldn't get into that.
4
Q
Mr. Rothstein, that wasn't the question I
5
asked you.
6
the reason for her --
My question was:
What did you tell her was
7
A
I'm sorry.
8
Q
-- to do that?
9
A
I misheard you.
10
Q
Okay.
11
A
I didn't tell her the reason.
12
Q
And you're saying that she didn't ask why she
13 14
needed to do that? A
She may have, but a lot of my people were
15
extremely loyal, and they were, unfortunately, used to
16
being asked to do things that were not appropriate.
17
My opinion is, is that that's the way she
18
perceived this and she wanted to be a good, quote,
19
unquote, soldier, and she just did it.
20
Q
Was she given any cash?
21
A
She was not.
22
Q
Okay.
23
Marybeth Feiss was somebody that was
involved in drafting fake documents?
24
A
That's correct.
25
Q
All right.
You have already said that with
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2469 1
Debra Villegas, that the lie that you told her was that
2
the Mafia was after you and that's why you needed these
3
fake documents, right?
4
A
Yeah.
Sometimes in the middle of the scheme,
5
when Debra was getting very concerned about continuing
6
it -- this was in 2009 sometime -- I told Debra that I
7
had to continue it, that the mob was involved.
8
a lie.
9
Q
10
Okay.
That was
What was the lie that you told her in
order for her to start doing it, then?
11
A
I didn't tell her any lie to start doing it.
12
Q
She just -- did she just basically, willingly
13
engage in a crime with you without any preconceived
14
misconceptions?
15
A
Actually, one of the things you're going to
16
see through -- in the entire thing, this applies to
17
Debra and many others, is that there is a very slow,
18
apparently smooth glide into the criminal activity.
19
starts with little things and it grows.
20
It
So, yes, there is nobody that I can think of
21
off the top of my head that was involved in any -- even
22
the tentacles of this massive crime, that I said, hey,
23
we're going to commit a crime or said, I'm going to
24
commit a fraud or even anything of that nature.
25
started doing things.
We just
You ask people to do things, and

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2470 1
you see whether they're going to do it or not.
2
gauge their response.
3
That's --
4
Q
Okay.
You
That's what would happen.
Mr. Rothstein, I'm going to try -- and
5
if you can, just focus on my questions, rather than the
6
speeches.
7
out with each of these people, what you told them to get
8
them to work with you.
It's very narrow.
9
A
All right.
10
Q
Thank you.
11 12
All right.
A
We left off at Marybeth Feiss.
I don't recall telling her anything.
I think
Deb filled her in.
15 16
Okay?
What did you tell Marybeth Feiss?
13 14
I'm just trying to find
Q
So you don't recall any specific conversations
with her before she started preparing fake documents?
17
A
Other than asking her to hand me documents or
18
make sure I get documents on time, no.
19
filled her in on all that.
I think Deb
20
Q
Did she leave your firm?
21
A
For a period of time, yes.
22
Q
Before everything blew up?
23
A
Yes.
24
Q
When she left your firm, do you know where she
25
And then she came back, I think.
went?

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2471 1
A
I don't.
She had told me that she was leaving
2
to go take care of her children, but Debra told me that
3
she was leaving because she was concerned about what was
4
going on with all these documents.
5
Q
Were you concerned when she left that she
6
might go to the authorities with the information that
7
she had?
8
A
Yes.
9
Q
Same question for Melissa Lewis, she left for
10
a period of time, correct?
11
A
Melissa had no idea what was going on.
12
Q
Okay.
13
You don't -- you know she was best
friends with Villegas, right?
14
A
Yes.
15
Q
And Villegas knew everything that was going
16
on, pretty much?
17
A
Debra knew a lot, yes.
18
Q
You really can't sit here and say what
19 20 21 22
Villegas told Lewis, could you? A
No, but I was never under the impression, in
my opinion, that Melissa knew anything. Q
Okay.
And with respect to Debra Villegas, you
23
said that she started out just doing illegal things; but
24
at some point in time, she kind of like was -- became
25
reluctant.
And then you told her, in order to keep her

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2472 1
going, about the mob, correct?
2
A
She became very concerned.
Sometime in 2009
3
she became concerned, and I made up the story about my
4
life being in danger.
5
Q
Did you know that her -- at Ms. Villegas'
6
sentencing, that she told the judge that the reason she
7
got involved in this from start to finish was because of
8
your story about the mob?
9
A
That would actually be incorrect.
10
Q
So she would have lied, then, if she said
11
that?
12
A
That would be a false statement, sir.
13
Q
Okay.
14
Yes.
Steve Goldstein, you identified him as
the lawyer who posed as a Judge Marra?
15
A
Scott Goldstein.
16
Q
I'm sorry.
17
Scott Goldstein.
I know Steve Goldstein.
18
A
Be careful, you could hurt another lawyer.
19
Q
Scott Goldstein.
20
Change that.
21
He was the lawyer that posed as Judge Marra?
I'm sorry.
22
A
Yes.
23
Q
Did he pose as any other judges?
24
A
He posed as a circuit court judge once or
25
twice.
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2473 1 2
Q
Well, the circuit court judge whose name you
forged on the order was a female, wasn't it?
3
A
I don't recall.
4
Q
Susan Black?
5
A
No.
6
Q
Right.
7
A
I'm sorry, Mr. Rabin, state circuit court.
8
Q
Okay.
9
Marra.
10
A
11
Morse cases.
12
Q
Okay.
13
A
Sorry.
14
Q
Did you tell Scott -- is something funny?
15
A
Actually, yes.
Susan Black was an appellate court judge.
So this Scott Goldstein posed as Judge
Do you know who else he posed as? Whoever the real male judge was in one of the
And what -- what did you --
I just remembered Ted Morse
16
saying to me when I said he posed as this other judge,
17
Ted actually said to me at the time that he played -- he
18
had played the circuit judge first; and when he played
19
Judge Marra, Ted actually said to me, you need to get
20
someone else to play one of the other judges because
21
their voices sound the same and my father said something
22
to me about it.
23 24 25
That is what was funny. Q
Were both of the roles he played, both of the
judges he played, interacted with Mr. Morse, the elder?
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2474 1
A
Yes.
2
Q
Is that what you're saying?
3
A
Yes, that was the purpose.
4
Q
And what did you tell Scott Goldstein in order
5
to get him to do that?
6
A
I told Scott Goldstein that Ted did not want
7
his father involved in anymore litigation and that Ted
8
was going to ultimately fund settlements to get -- he
9
was going to funnel money through us and get back to Ed
10
to make Ed think he won these things so this could all
11
be done with, and this was part and parcel of that plan
12
and we were assisting Ted to do this.
13
Q
So you essentially fabricated an entire story
14
for Scott Goldstein in order to get him to play the
15
role --
16
A
Yes.
17
Q
-- fair enough?
18
A
Ted and I did, yes.
19
Q
I know you're saying, well, Ted did it.
I
20
understand, but I am just asking about what you did.
21
Okay.
22
A
I understand that, but what I did was with
23
somebody.
24
to tell you what I did and with whom.
25
Q
So if you're asking me what I did, I'm going
Okay.
Howard Kusnick, he was a lawyer who --

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2475 1
was he with your firm at one point and then left?
2
A
Ted and I -- not Ted and I.
3 4
Howard and I were partners many years before that.
5
Then we split up, and then he joined my firm. Q
And then he ultimately participated by writing
6
fake letters and saying that he sent cases to you, a lot
7
of cases to your firm?
8 9 10
A
think he faked the referral thing.
I don't
He wrote fake
letters.
11 12
I don't think he was a referral.
Q
Okay.
What did you tell him to get him to
write fake letters?
13
A
I didn't tell him anything.
14
Q
You had to tell him something to get him to
15
write a letter.
What did you tell him?
16
A
Write this letter.
17
Q
So just it was a command from the head of the
18
firm -- write a letter -- with no explanation?
19 20
A
Howard was a criminal from way back; it
was not complicated to get him to do that.
21 22
No.
Q
Okay.
Steve Lippman was a lawyer in your
firm?
23
A
Yes.
24
Q
What generally did he do?
25
A
Commercial litigation.

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2476 1 2 3 4 5 6
Q
What type of -- what was his involvement in
your criminal activities? A
Massive check kiting, money laundering, lying
to clients -Q
Okay.
And what did you have to tell him to
get him to play along?
7
A
-- bank fraud.
8
Q
What did you have to tell him to get him to
9
play along?
10
A
Nothing.
11
Q
Nothing?
12 13
He just was a criminal from way
back, as well? A
I don't know.
He appeared to me to have a --
14
to be what's called loosey-goosey when I first met with
15
him to join in my firm because he wanted me to engage in
16
income tax evasion as part of his compensation package.
17
Q
Okay.
You mentioned this lawyer, Ken
18
Padowitz, several times during the course of this
19
deposition as somebody who you had, I guess, write a
20
letter?
21
A
Opinion letter, yes.
22
Q
Okay.
And you indicated the opinion letter
23
was about things that you and Preve drafted that you
24
believe Padowitz had absolutely no knowledge about?
25
A
To the best of my knowledge, he had no idea
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2477 1
what that letter was about, as far as the contents of
2
it.
3
that area of the law.
4 5
He didn't know the -- understand the intricacies of
Q
What was it that you told Mr. Padowitz in
order to get him to write that letter?
6
A
To best of my recollection, I simply told him,
7
I need this letter, put it on your letterhead, and I
8
paid him for it.
9
Q
How much did you pay him?
10
A
I think five grand.
11
grand.
12
Q
Check or cash?
13
A
Cash.
14
Q
And I assume there is no witnesses to the
15
payment, right?
16 17 18
A
No.
21
Adler is a witness to me asking him to do

That wasn't my question.

19 20
Maybe 2,500, maybe five
Were there any witnesses to the payment? A
I think I was just thinking out loud,
Mr. Rabin.
I'm sorry.
22
Q
That's all right.
23
A
I don't believe there were any witnesses to
24
the payment.
25
Q
There may have been.
Well, there may have been, that's not --
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5

doesn't make an absolute answer.
2
witness, then?
3
A
Who may have been a
I can't give you an absolute answer.
There
4
may have been a witness, because I handed him the
5
money -- here's the problem.
6
situated, there was a lot of foot traffic, and I simply
7
walked into his office and gave him the money.
8 9
Q
Where his office was
And did you give him any reason at all why you
needed the letter?
10
A
I did not tell him why I needed the letter.
11
Mr. Padowitz, I had known, had engaged in substantial
12
amounts of fraud previously.
13
those guys that you know, you pay him, he'll put it on a
14
letter, anything for a buck.
15 16 17
He was -- he's one of
Q
What other fraud did you know he had engaged
A
Fraud involving his judicial campaign, and he
in?
18
had lied during the course of various cases that he was
19
handling when he was a partner of Russ Adler's.
20
Q
All right.
Stuart Rosenfeldt, you talked
21
about him a lot during the course of the deposition.
22
What is it that you had to tell him in order to get him
23
involved in your scheme?
24
A
Nothing.
25
Q
So he knew from the beginning that it was
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2479 1
criminal and willingly engaged in it?
2
A
At the time he discovered what was going on,
3
which was simply by looking in the accounts and asking
4
me where the money was coming from, yes, he knew I was
5
involved in criminal activity and then he knew he was
6
involved in criminal activity.
7
Q
Irene Stay was your chief financial officer?
8
A
Yes.
9
Q
And she was moving money between and among
10
your various accounts, actually doing the transactional
11
side of it?
12
A
Yes.
13
Q
Did you ever explain to her what you were
14
doing with the movement of money?
15
A
I didn't need to.
16
Q
Why not?
17
A
Because Irene was a -- involved in fraud way
18
back when I first met her when she was the bookkeeper
19
for a law firm called Phillips, Eisinger Koss.
20
became Phillips, Eisinger, Koss, Rothstein & Rosenfeldt.
21
She was regularly engaged in fraud with the senior
22
partners of that firm, Gary Phillips and with Dennis
23
Eisinger, involving accounting and tax evasion and the
24
like.
25
Q
It later
How did you know that?

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2480 1
A
Because I was part of this.
2
Q
You were part of that fraud?
3
A
I received money from it.
4
Q
Okay.
5
Did you have an intimate relationship
with Irene Stay?
6
A
I'm sorry?
7
Q
Did you have an intimate relationship -- I'm
8
trying to be delicate.
9 10
A
No.
"intimate."
I didn't realize when your said
11
Nevermind what I thought you said.
No, I did not.
12
Q
How about Debra Villegas?
13
A
No.
14
Q
Okay.
And Debra Villegas, you said that --
15
about halfway through, that you mentioned that the mob
16
story to her, correct?
17
A
I don't remember if it was halfway.
My
18
recollection is it was 2009 some time, when the things
19
were getting really crazy in the office.
20 21
Q
Well, 2009 is more than halfway through,
actually, would it be?
22
A
23
be halfway.

Q
25

That's why I said I don't know that it would
All right.
And now I want to talk about TD
I think you identified three different people at
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2481 1
the bank who you had interaction with, if I'm not
2
mistaken, Spinosa, Caretsky and Kerstetter, correct?
3
A
You are going to have to define "interaction."
4
Q
Well, in terms of helping you with any aspects
5
of your scheme, that you were aware of?
6
A
Ms. Kerstetter, all she did was hand me an
7
envelope.
8
of her knowledge.
9
Ms. Caretsky or Mr. Spinosa.
10
Q
I do not know anything else about the extent You'd have to talk to Mr. Boockvor or
Did you have any conversations with
11
Ms. Kerstetter about what she was doing in terms of
12
helping you?
13
A
To my recollection, no.
14
Q
Okay.
With respect to Ms. Caretsky, you
15
testified previously that she was given money and helped
16
you with the switches of statements.
17
her to get her involved?
18
A
What did you tell
I told her, as I testified previously, that I
19
needed to convince clients of mine that I had more money
20
in the bank than I did in order to get them to give me a
21
substantial increase in my business.
22 23
Q
Okay.
And do you recall when you told her
that?
24
A
I do not.
25
Q
Okay.
With Mr. Spinosa, you -- he prepared a

series of letters that have come to be known as lock
2
letters at your request, correct?
3
A
Yes.
4
Q
The first one was August 17th; do you recall
5
that?
6
A
I don't.
7
Q
Well, let's just -- let me ask the question
8
differently, then.
9
A
Sure.
10
Q
What was it you told Mr. Spinosa in order --
11
when you requested the first letter?
12
A
I don't recall, specifically.
13
Q
So as you sit here today, you don't recall
14 15
what explanation you gave him for requesting the letter? A
I would have to really sit down and read the
16
email traffic to see what I said and how I said it.
17
don't recall what reason I gave him for the letters,
18
except to tell him that I needed them.
19 20 21
Q
You would not have told him some illegal or
improper reason; is that fair to say? A
I don't know what I told him.
I don't know
22
what I told him.
23
traffic and see if it refreshes my recollection.
24 25

Q
I would have to look at the email
Is there anybody else at TD Bank that you can

Yes.

A
No.
4
Q
Okay.
Gibraltar Bank, the other bank that you
5
testified about, I think you mentioned two different
6
names, Mr. Harris and Mr. Hayworth?

A
And Ms. Ellis.
8
Q
And Ms. Ellis.
9
Okay.
Ms. Ellis, generally, what was her role?
10
A
She was a bank manager.
11
Q
What did she do to help you, if anything?
12
A
She kept us apprised of problems with our
13
accounts, helped us move money around.
14
discussions with her, so the record is clear about
15
criminal activity.
I never had any
16
Q
So you never spoke to her at all?
17
A
Oh, I spoke to her a lot.
18
Q
About anything related to either criminal
19 20
activity or reasons to ask her for favors, anything? A
The only things that I said to Lisa would be
21
contained in emails, and I don't recall, other than
22
giving her carte blanche to move money around in a
23
manner that was certainly, by my way of thinking,
24
suspicious, I didn't have any conversations about
25
illegality with Ms. Ellis.

Only about the BSA AML issue.

One or a couple.

It was the same
conversation, though, very brief. Q
And ultimately you invested in the bank,

one of my trust accounts. Q
Essentially you concealed from him any illegal
activity that you were conducting, correct? A
No, no, no, the whole purpose of my investment
10
was based upon his illegal statement -- what I believe
11
was an illegality, telling me that they don't
12
investigate shareholders of the bank.
13
Q
Okay.
14
A
That was the triggering event.
15
Q
And based upon that claimed conversation, you
16 17 18 19 20
invested in the bank? A
It's not a claimed conversation.
It happened.
That's why I invested in the bank. Q
When you say that, there is no witnesses to it

And John Harris.

MR. RABIN:
I
Actually, really, I'm asking
15
questions about what lies he told to the
16
various people that he was -- that he engaged

MR. SCHERER: A
Object to form.
To falsely -- at the time that he became
22
involved in the Ponzi scheme, there were very few lies
23
that I needed to tell him because he was all in.
24 25
Early on I had told him -- he believed that this whole thing was real.
Once he discovered it wasn't

2
certain if you give me the email traffic, I can tell

you.

Independent recollection, at this moment, I don't recall, and I don't want to guess. Q
So, essentially, what you're saying is when he

first got involved, he was, what he believed to be,
8
verifying what he thought were legitimate transactions;
9
is that right?
10 11
ALL PRESENT: A
12

You're asking me to get inside his head. It's my opinion that early on he believed

early on and then less and less, depending upon the

21
If I see the email traffic, I'm certain I could be
22
precise about what lies I told him and what were truths,

He was the son
of a very dear friend of mine. Q
Did you ever have conversations where you
pitched the legitimacy of the investment? A
I think only as follow-up questions that he
had based upon David Boden's pitch to him. Q

that you send me a lot of business; is that it?

get them to engage in criminal activity or to lessen

Q
With respect to Caputi, is it your testimony,

then, that you don't recall having to lie to him in
11
order to get him to play any of those roles?
12
A
I certainly may have, but I didn't need to

tell Steve much.

All right.
Wayne Koppel was another lawyer

believe that he was the one who actually attended the

meetings with the hedge fund guys, so yes.
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Q
All right.
I seem to
And what did you tell him in order
to get him to play that role? A
I didn't have to lie to him at all.
I believe
that Doug Bates and Russ Adler handled all that. Q
So you never made any false statements to him
in order to get him to play that role in your scheme? A
As I sit here today, other than telling him
11
what I needed him to say, I recall very little about
12
talking to him about anything having to do with this.
13
Russ Adler and Doug Bates handled that.
14
Q
All right.
Howard Herskowitz was another
15
lawyer that referred -- according to you, falsely
16
claimed to refer significant cases to you?
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
A
Not just according to me, it was according to
the people that he made the statements to. Q
What did you say to him in order to get him to
do that? A
I didn't say a word to him.
I never talked to
the man until I got there and he started lying for me. Q
All right.
And what you -- are you saying you
had to tell him nothing in order to get him to do that? A
I had Russ Adler handle it.

him exactly what lies he needed to tell, and when he
2
showed up there, he told all the lies.
3 4 5
Q
So you had no conversations with him in terms
of what he was supposed to do; is that your testimony? A
I think, if you recall my prior testimony,
6
when I first walked in there, Mr. Herskowitz is the one
7
who said, it's nice to finally meet you, almost giving
8
me a coronary.
9
So, no, I had no prior conversations with him

about what he needed to do.

Q
All right.
Tracy Weintraub, you have talked
6
about him a number of times as preparing -- you talked
7
about him on a number of cases preparing false financial
8
statements?
9
A
Yes.
10
Q
What is it that you told him why you need the
11
false financial statements?
12 13
A
I told him here's $75,000; this is what I
need.
14
Q
And I assume that was cash?
15
A
It was.
16
Q
I assume there are no witnesses to it, other
17 18
than you and Mr. Weintraub? A
The only person that may be able to verify
19
that was a gentleman who brought me that cash.
20
recollection is he brought me that cash when I was ready
21
to take it up to him.
22 23
My
And I don't know if the government wants me to say the name.

MR. LAVECCHIO:

Can I have a moment?
Sure.

MR. SCHERER:
While we have a break, I
would like to --
3
MR. RABIN:
4
What's going on --
5
MR. SCHERER:
6 7
We don't have a break.
Well, I mean, they're just
talking, so -MR. RABIN:
Don't you want to wait until
8
the lawyers are involved can hear what you're
9
saying.
10 11 12
MR. SCHERER: administrative.
I mean, this is This is administrative.
I understand that the Pearson adversary
13
is going -- I don't know -- next, this
14
afternoon or tomorrow?

No.

and goes until the conclusion, when we stop at

Is it your --

THE WITNESS:
Hopefully not ever, not see
23
me again.
24
What kind of comment is that?

deposition.
2
MR. RABIN:
3
MR. LICHTMAN:
4
MR. SCHERER:
We'll see you again. In the deposition. Here's my issue:
I just
5
now have realized that we're anticipating
6
closing this record for my case; and then
7
you're going to start with Pearson, and it
8
will a separate record.
9
MR. LICHTMAN:
10 11
When we start with
Levinson. MR. SCHERER:
When you start with
12
Pearson, you intend to have that as a separate
13
record in your adversary?
14
MR. LICHTMAN:
15
MR. SCHERER:
Correct. I'm going to request that
16
when you get to Pearson, that this
17
transcript -- my record stays open, because
18
he's a defendant in this my case so that I'm
19
going to urge the Court that whatever you do
20
in that case is a part of my record.
21
MR. LICHTMAN:
I don't have any problem
22
with that, but I will not have time for
23
anybody to be questioning on the time allotted
24
that we have, except for me and for
25
Mr. Pearson's counsel.

Page 2503 1
MR. SCHERER:
2
MR. NURIK:
Well -I'm going to ask for five
3
minutes at some time, and the basis for that
4
is because people have not complied with the
5
Court's order, as I articulated yesterday, in
6
providing their exhibits to the parties in
7
advance of this deposition in whole, being
8
that Mr. Rothstein is a party and I represent
9
him, and counsel was supposed to receive it, I
10
was denied the opportunity to have it and
11
Mr. Rothstein was denied the opportunity to
12
see it, and as such, I may have some clean-up
13
questions.
14
I will be brief, and in the process
15
Mr. Rothstein may be reviewing some of the
16
documents that were supposed to have been
17
previously provided to him.
18
And as such, I'm going to ask that the
19
record stay open and I have the opportunity
20
for five minutes.
21 22 23
MR. RABIN:
I'm going to give it to you
if we stop -MR. NURIK:
The problem, Sam, is I'm not
24
in the position to do that because he's still
25
reviewing them.

21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2504 1
I got a load last night of things that my
2
secretary was there very late just putting on
3
a disk, which I have now.
4
So, unfortunately, I'm going to ask that
5
at some point, since the record will remain
6
open, that I find five minutes to do that, and
7
I will be brief.
8 9
MR. RABIN: don't know.
Well, you know, again, I
The agreement is the agreement.
10
I don't know about keeping the record open
11
past the time limit set by the judge.
12
Mr. Lichtman may be able to speak to that
13
better than I can.
14
MR. LICHTMAN:
15 16
When do you think you
would be best suited to ask those question? MR. NURIK:
Ideally, by the end of the
17
day today, but certainly tomorrow morning, no
18
later than tomorrow morning.
19
have much of a chance beyond that.
20 21 22
I'm not going to
So I'll try -- endeavor to try to do it by the end of the day. MR. LICHTMAN:
I'm going to guess -- I
23
don't know -- that most people don't have an
24
interest in hearing the Levinson testimony.
25
Many people may have some interest in hearing

the Pearson testimony. If that's the case, I'm happy to yield
3
five minutes when we begin tomorrow at 8:30 so
4
you can start and ask those questions and I
5
can go into Pearson.
6
MR. NURIK:
Okay.
7
MR. RABIN:
Thank you.
8
MR. HERTZBERG:
9 10
Okay.
All right.
On behalf of Platinum and
Centurion, this is Gabriel Hertzberg. We have no objection to what Mr. Lichtman
11
just proposed, that Mr. Nurik borrow five
12
minutes from Mr. Lichtman's time tomorrow.
13
There is a Court order that says that
14
this deposition is closed as of noon today.
15
MR. RASCO:
16
MR. HERTZBERG:
17
We have staffed this accordingly.
18 19
1:00 today. 1:00 today. We
have set travel plans accordingly. We object to any examination of
20
Mr. Rothstein by anyone, other Mr. Nurik for
21
the five minutes just discussed, tomorrow or
22
at any time after 1:00.
23 24 25
MR. SCHLESINGER:
We join in that
objection. MR. SCHNAPP:
On behalf of TD Bank, we

MR. MULLIN:
Likewise on behalf of the
Morses.
4
MR. NURIK:
That is other than Mr. Nurik?
5
MR. RABIN:
Other than Mr. Nurik.
6
MR. HERTZBERG:
Other than Mr. Nurik for
7
the five minutes just discussed, we'd do
8
understand up Mr. Nurik and Mr. Scherer have a
9
common-interest relationship, or so they
10
purport; we would object to any examination of
11
Mr. Rothstein by Mr. Nurik as surrogate for
12
Mr. Scherer or for Mr. Lichtman or for anyone
13
else.
14 15
MR. NURIK:
Well, I can assure you -- I
can assure you he's not paying my fees.

The last -- the question that was

pending before the government conferred with you and

all, can you get back to it?
I don't remember.

witnesses --

Q
Tracy Weintraub?
4
A
-- to money going to Weintraub.
5
Q
Well, the last question I recall:
6 7 8
I can tell you.
You were asking me about
Did anybody
witness any of the payment of the 75,000? A
And my answer is someone witnessed me
receiving the money and taking it up to Mr. Weintraub.
9
Q
Did anybody witness the payment?
10
A
I don't believe this person was standing there
11
when I -- we only got as far as the door.
12
Q
Other --
13
A
So no.
14
Q
Other than the money that you claim that you
15
gave Mr. Weintraub, was there any other conversation
16
about what you wanted him to do or why?
17
A
As to what I wanted him to do?
18
Q
Yes.
19
A
Extensive conversation.
20
Q
Okay.
21
A
The only why that I recall giving him, without
And the why?
22
seeing the email traffic, is so that he could keep my
23
business and keep the business of Banyan and continue to
24
live well, a nice life.
25
MR. RABIN:
All right.
If I could have a

moment, please.
2
I think --
3
MR. SCHERER:
I'm going to object to the
4
question, Sam, unless you can ask the witness
5
to identify who saw him get the cash so he can
6
have a complete answer, since I can't have any
7
more examination.
8 9
MR. RABIN: question.
10 11
I'm happy to ask that
MR. SCHERER:
Thank you.
BY MR. RABIN:
12
Q
Did you hear Mr. Scherer's question?
13
A
I'm sorry, no.
14
Q
Who was the person that witnessed you obtain
15
the cash that you claim that you gave to Mr. Weintraub?
16
MR. LAVECCHIO:
17
MR. RABIN:
18
MR. SCHERER:
19
22 23
So much for your question. Take all the joy out of
this.
20 21
Objection --
MR. LICHTMAN:
That seemed like a perfect
way to end the transcript. BY MR. RABIN: Q
One other area, just real fast, two questions.
24
You remember the Kroll project you discussed with Ken
25
Jenne?
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2509 1
A
I don't.
2
Q
All right.
3
Did Ken Jenne ever propose to you
starting a business similar to Kroll's?
4
A
Yes.
5
Q
And what he -- what -- explain that to us,
6 7
what he was purposing in that. A
We were hiring a lot of retired law
8
enforcement at the time, former ABT agents, FBI agents,
9
IRS agents, and he wanted to put together something to
10
rival Kroll.
11
Q
And did that go beyond any discussions?
12
A
Other than him and I hiring people to kind of
13 14 15
get it started up, no. Q
And did Ken Jenne have any role in your
illegal activities?
16
A
No, sir.
17
Q
Other than, perhaps, that one occasion where
18
he carried boxes -- the Epstein boxes into your office
19
that people are claiming that he did?
20 21 22
A
No, sir. MR. RABIN:
He had no involvement. I'm going to cede the balance
of my time to Mr. Rasco.

FURTHER DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. RASCO: Q
I have three or five minutes, Mr. Rothstein.
4
Is it your opinion or belief that Mr. Preve
5
was aware of the fraud, or do you know it for a fact?
6 7 8
MR. SCHERER: A
11 12
Based upon everything that I've seen and know,
it is a fact.
9 10
Object to form.
MR. SCHERER:
Withdraw my objection.
BY MR. RASCO: Q
Based on any witnesses that you can point to
that are aware that Mr. Preve knew of the fraud?
13
A
Mr. Szafranski.
14
Q
Beyond Mr. Szafranski?
15
A
Mr. Boden, Mr. Rosenfeldt.
16
Q
Is that it?
17
A
And me.
18
Q
Okay.
Do you remember the email we discussed
19
on Monday where you indicated that, Frank, you were
20
ending it; and he suggested that that was not the
21
solution and he urged you to come back and told you not
22
to run.
23
like, analogous before and asked you to come back.
24 25
He told you that he had been through something,
Do you remember that? A
Yes, I do.

Page 2511 1 2
Q
If he was criminally involved, why would he do
that?
3
A
You'd have to ask him.
4
Q
Okay.
And you indicated earlier today that
5
there were literally hundreds of incriminating emails
6
between -- written by Frank; is that right?
7
A
I think there were thousands.
8
Q
Okay.
9
A
I haven't stopped to count them, but there
10 11 12
seemed to be an awful lot. Q
would he write so many emails that were incriminating?
13 14
If he was aware and involved in the crime, why
ALL PRESENT: A
Objection to form.
I told Frank on more than one occasion that I
15
thought he was going a little crazy with certain things
16
he was putting in the emails.
It never stopped him.
17
You'd have to ask him why he was doing it.
18
It seemed to me like he had some sort of
19
self-destructive mechanism because he put a lot of very
20
bad stuff in emails.
21
BY MR. RASCO:
22 23
Q
Earlier in your testimony you thought Frank
was a very smart person.
24
A
Extremely.
25
Q
If he was so smart, why would he be writing so
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2512 1
many incriminating emails?
2 3
MR. LICHTMAN: A
4
Object to form.
I don't know. One thing I have learned over the course of
5
this crime, and since coming back, is that I had the
6
unfortunate experience of dealing with a lot of
7
extremely, extremely bright people who did some very,
8
very stupid things during the commission of a lot of
9
very bad crimes.
10 11 12
BY MR. RASCO: Q
You met Frank in August of 2007,
approximately, right?
13
A
I don't recall when I met him.
14
Q
Was it mid to late 2007, let's say?
15
A
Again, I don't recall the date I met him.
16
you have got to do is look and see when I started to
17
doing my very first business with George Levin and go
18
back 30 to 60 days.

frame.
20
me guess to it.
All
21
Q
22
years?
23
A
I would have met him in that time
We can establish it.
It makes no sense to have
Are you aware that he had known George for 30
I knew that he worked for George many years
24
before.
25
George, yes.
I knew that he left and came back to work for
United Reporting, Inc. (954) 525- 2221
21a897ab-f9ff-49aa-8308-21d465585ba5
Page 2513 1 2
Q
And are you aware that he was friends with
George, not just working with George?
3
A
You know, I have, unfortunately, learned that
4
the word "friend" has a very interesting meaning in
5
criminal circles.
6
So, yeah, I believed that he was truly a
7
friend of George's; but the more I examine everything,
8
the more I come to realize he probably took tremendous
9
advantage of George.
10
Q
And are you aware that he, himself, invested
11
his own money and his family's money, not just his
12
immediate family's money?
13
A
Yes.
14
Q
And you knew that he knew that George stood to
15
lose hundreds of millions of dollars if this was a
16
fraud?
17
A
Yes, but his ultimate role was the same as all
18
of ours, just the like Morses and other people, that we
19
all hoped to get our money out.
20
The criminals, the people that are involved,
21
always hope to be able to be the ones recouping and, in
22
fact, gaining by the crime.
23
you know it could explode, you don't necessarily plan on
24
it.
25
MR. RASCO:
Okay.
You don't -- even though
Thank you.
