In a series of cocky, sometimes profane emails to an alleged accomplice, convicted Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein bragged about his financial prowess, calling himself a "pimp" and a "punk" who loved making money so much "I feel like I just took six Viagra."
The emails surfaced as part of a lawsuit against car dealership heir Ted Morse, who is being sued by more than two dozen Rothstein investors who claim he was a willing participant in Rothstein's $1.2 billion fraud, the largest in South Florida history. The scheme collapsed in 2009 and Rothstein, 49, is now serving a 50-year federal sentence.
In the emails, sent between 2006 and 2008, Rothstein mixes slang, braggadocio and emoticons as he asks Morse to front him hundreds of thousands of dollars with a promise of a quick profit from his "International Bank of Wow."

BTW, Rothstein was the biggest contributor to Charlie Crist. In fact, it was Rothstein himself who spread the untrue rumor that Crist was caught smooching a woman on an elevator. His nickname for Crist was “Governorness.”
South Florida FYI
“Cocky”? Heh.
If your numbers stay up for longer than four hours, see your doctor.
“I feel like I just took six Viagra.”

The authorities promised Rothstein that if he rats out his friends, he will get his prison sentence of 50 years reduced down to 49 years. BTW, if the allegations about Morse are true, then he should be imprisoned for terminal stupidity. Let’s see. You run a huge successful car dealership in South Florida and you get involved with someone who walks around smoking cigars and wearing wannabbee phoney gangster outfits? How DUmb is that?
Right now a certain South Florida police chief is sweating out what Rothstein reveals while ratting out his former associates.
You must be talking about Fort Lauderdale’s very own affirmative action chief....
