Former RRA Partner to Answer Questions on Payments From Convicted Fraudster

March 11, 2010

Former Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler partner Steve Lippman has agreed to sit for a deposition without invoking his Fifth Amendment rights when questioned about money received from his former boss, convicted fraudster Scott Rothstein. Bankruptcy trustee Herbert Stettin contends Lippman was overpaid by $3.1 million and seeks repayment. Stettin alleges a number of bonuses and payments were made as "part of a scheme to funnel cash out of RRA to use for political contributions."
