Former GC of Notorious Florida Firm Gets 18 Months for Fraud
The former general counsel of a bankrupted South Florida law firm that was at the center of a massive fraud was sentenced Jan. 30 to 18 months in federal prison for his role in helping managing partner Scott Rothstein swindle investors by selling them “income” from faked settlements, reports the ABA Journal.
David Boden, 53, has cooperated with the government from the start and is expected to testify against other defendants charged in connection with the schemes for which the former Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler chief is now serving 50 years. Prosecutors said Boden verified that the claimed settlements sold by Rothstein, which involved fictitious individuals and entities, were legitimate.
