If you don’t bother to pick up a paper over the long, luxurious holiday, here’s what you missed in the local news:Let’s try to sum up the weekend’s offerings on Daily Pulp, which remains ground for all things Rothstein. The Ponzi schemer is said to have treated his law firm…
From its base in South Beach, V Georgio Vodka was supposed to take over the world. Started by college basketball player, recording artist, and sports agent Victor Harvey, the company hooked up with Scott Rothstein, who became a part-owner. Rothstein not only bought a stake in the “ultra-premium” — that means ridiculously expensive…
I know you want a bombshell. There are bombshells to come. Just not today — they aren’t ready to explode yet. Plus my computer’s been attacked by a vicious virus (something called Antivirus System Pro, in case you come across it), so I’m working on a computer that doesn’t have…
Scott Rothstein proudly displayed a framed photograph of this ad behind his desk in the inner sanctum. One of Rothstein’s former lawyers told me that in the early days of the firm, Rothstein slept with every female attorney in the place. There were just a handful at the time, and he didn’t keep that…
The stress of the holiday season has begun, and it wasn’t long before the violence began in South Florida.A 35-year-old man shot five of his own relatives after Thanksgiving dinner in Jupiter, killing four of them, including a 6-year-old girl who was in her bed. She’s the daughter of a…

Note to Bill Scherer: You’ve dug up some killer information, but couldn’t one of those ten people you’ve had working on the Scott Rothstein suit have done a little spell checking? In Scherer’s amended complaint, there’s a list of people and businesses to whom Rothstein wired money while he was en route…
You probably don’t remember it the same way I do, if you remember it at all. Hardcore Dolphins fans know the most famous Thanksgiving Day game the team ever played, and thinking of that day probably brings about a pleasant smile. Not for me though. I grew up in Dallas…
“Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know. Turn off the lights, and I’ll glow.” It’s just before 8 a.m. on a recent Friday at Mom’s Kitchen, a country-style breakfast joint in Wellington. In walks a six-foot-tall, 42-year-old man in cargo shorts, a navy-blue hoodie, and a black ball cap…
I wanted to take it easy, but I feel compelled to link Bill Scherer’s amended complaint for the diehards. News never sleeps, etc. SoWhat’s special about it is that it provides more behind-the-scenes drama. Sure we knew about some of Scott Rothstein’s B.S. emails and texts, and we have the scene at Bova Prime…
It sorta looks like Page2Live.com, what with the black background and neon links, only this blog calls itself Page2Lie, an unsubtle jab at the journalistic integrity of Page2Live’s Jose Lambiet, who’s renamed Josey Lambchop for the purposes of satire.I sent an email to the site operator, but he or she…
A couple of years ago, we ran a feature story about GlobeTel, a company that was supposedly going to deploy blimp-like satellites across the country and beam down internet signals. There were a few problems with the scheme: building hi-tech airships seemed a job more suited for big aerotech companies…

Sjostrom’s biological mother, Connie Wheeler, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, wanted Valdez to be charged as an adult and get 30…
It’s too bad there aren’t more players like Santonio Holmes. The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP swung back to his native Belle Glade for the second straight year to serve Thanksgiving meals to needy families. WPBF was there.NFL players do tons of charity work, but much of…
In what may be a sign that men are no longer curious about the nude female form — or that the internet exists — Playboy magazine is struggling to stay afloat financially. Now a Boca Raton company, American Media Inc., has the job of trying to save it.The Wall Street…
Let me start this post with a note about Scott Rothstein’s net worth in 2003. It wasn’t much. I got a copy of Rothstein’s divorce settlement. It showed that at the time of the divorce in 2003, when Rothstein was about 40 years old. He and his ex-wife, lawyer Kimberly A…
Happy Turkey Eve. Let’s see what’s cooking in South Florida:Remember that other big FBI case?
