Federal agents raid Scott Rothstein’s law offices

Federal authorities turned up the heat on Fort Lauderdale lawyer Scott Rothstein as he sought to cooperate with prosecutors investigating his alleged multimillion-dollar investment scam.

Rothstein, 47, has been accused by his investors and law partners of wiping them out. He is cooperating with federal investigators and identifying others who may be involved in the alleged Ponzi scheme, sources familiar with the probe said Wednesday.

Investigators are looking into allegations that Rothstein bilked investors by selling them falsified lawsuit settlements, and that he stole from client trust funds and operating accounts at his 70-attorney law firm, the sources said.
