: Structured Settlements 4RealScott Rothstein Sentenced To 50 Years in Slammer for $1.2B Pre Settlement Funding Ponzi Scheme
By John Darer

Mislabeled both as a mini-Madoff and a purveyor of structured settlements, it seems unlikely that the cherubic Rothstein will achieve the cult like status in the slammer that the New York Post recently reported being conferred on Bernard Madoff in Butner, NC.
While Madoff will possibly be synonymous with Ponzi, Rothstein will simply be a footnote-another arrogant little prick who had it all and blew it.
