In our first installment of the Scott Rothstein fraud story we told you that accused Florida political power player Scott Rothstein (allegedly) made off with a $100 million in other people’s money. Now it turns out he almost made off with GOP fixer Roger Stone’s website.
TPMMuckraker’s Justin Elliott got hold of Stone today who told him the whole sordid tale — Rothstein’s attempts to censor Stone’s criticisms of Rothstein’s pal Charlie Crist on Stone’s website, Rothstein pulling the plug on the infamous Stone Zone, a ridiculous scale of high living, compulsive political contributions, a private investigator. You could say the relationship seems to have broken down.
Justin has the story.
