Описание: In late 2009, the South Florida community learned of the scandal that became the largest Ponzi scheme in Florida history. In this breathtakingly ambitious scam, one of Fort Lauderdale's top philanthropists, attorney Scott Rothstein, stole $1.4 billion from investors and charitable organizations to finance his opulent lifestyle. A man whose wealth and status seemed to come from nowhere, Rothstein infiltrated and took advantage of the communities of South Florida through charm and manipulation. In this story of greed, betrayal, corruption, sex, and murder, no one is innocent. Through exacting research, author Chuck Malkus has uncovered the truths behind the ultimate Ponzi scheme that deceived hundreds. From Rothstein's humble beginnings in the Bronx to his sudden rise to become one of the most powerful men in Florida, the details of his deception are chronicled here. Malkus's assessment of the Sunshine State villain is accompanied by input from community members and psychologists. The man who built Fort Lauderdale's richest law firm was far from generous--he was a destructive con artist who plundered investor accounts to build his own fortune. Despite Rothstein's lavish lifestyle, he was unable to escape judgment both from the law and from the society he used to manipulate. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Ultimate Ponzi: The Scott Rothstein Story. Абсолютная финансовая пирамида: история Скотта Ротштейна. Чак Малкус (Chuck Malkus)
