Fla. High Court Permanently Disbars Disgraced Attorney

The law career of disgraced Florida attorney and fraud suspect Scott Rothstein is over. The Florida Supreme Court disbarred Rothstein Wednesday at his request, a day after the governor suspended him from the 4th District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission. A four-paragraph order came in response to Rothstein's request for permanent disbarment on consent, in the wake of claims by investors that he had stopped paying returns on structured settlement financing that he had promoted.
