September 1, 2010

Charities run by Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade and former Miami Dolphins star Jason Taylor agreed to return donations from Ponzi king Scott Rothstein, his defunct law firm's bankruptcy trustee, Herbert Stettin, reported Tuesday. Both charities will return half of the donations under a settlement with Stettin. Wade's World Foundation agreed to return $12,500 of $25,000 received from Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler in July 2009. The Jason Taylor Foundation agreed to return $50,000 of a $100,000 donation received March 2009.
