Scott Rothstein Calls Himself Jewish Avenger

Rothstein wasn't joking; he was seething. He told me he was going to sue me and my wife and bankrupt my household. Rothstein, the managing partner of the law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt & Adler, said he would throw all his legal might at me until I could never "participate in the journalism community again." He even said he was going to throw a news conference about me for the TV stations.

"Most people figure if you're left alone, you'll go away," Rothstein told me. "They figure they should let a sleeping dog lie. I like to jab the dog in the eye. And if it bites me, I'll jab its eye out."

This really isn't personal, certainly not for me, and I don't think for him either. It's about politics and money and who influences the people you elect. It's about the nature of power in Broward County, and it's about Rothstein not wanting me to document the connections between his interests and taxpayers' money. And it all happened because of a phone call I'd made to state Rep. Evan Jenne (D-Dania Beach).
