William Boockvor pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to assisting his nephew, Scott Rothstein, in the $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme orchestrated out of the Florida law firm where they worked. Boockvor says he aims to cooperate with prosecutors in hopes of reducing his final sentence.

A jury took less than five hours Wednesday to come back with a verdict finding TD Bank conspired with scammer Scott Rothstein, awarding $67 million to an investment group. Texas-based Coquina Investments sued TD Bank, saying the bank aided and abetted Rothstein in his $1.2 billion fraud.

A Texas-based investment group, claiming it was scammed by Scott Rothstein, asked Tuesday for $172 million in damages from TD Bank for helping to prolong Florida’s largest Ponzi scheme by allegedly aiding the imprisoned former lawyer in his $1.2 billion settlement financing fraud.

In deposition transcripts released Wednesday, Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein testified he spent up to $60,000 a month on escorts and prostitutes for himself and several law partners and associates for trysts at a condo maintained by his law firm.

Ponzi scammer Scott Rothstein angrily stormed out of a deposition when asked whether he had anything to do with the 2008 murder of former law partner Melissa Britt Lewis, calling the lawyer questioning him a “disgusting human being” after she asked whether Lewis “was murdered because she knew too much.”
