Kim Rothstein To Seek "Pre-Ponzi" Assets

So says Brittany Wallman here.

Plus Kim spills the beans of her life story to Stormin' Norman here.

Kim's attorney Scott Saidel explains the "pre-Ponzi assets" game plan:

Kim Rothstein, wife of Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein, will seek half of whatever assets they owned before the illegal investment scam began, her lawyer Scott Saidel said. Though they wed well into the Rothstein Ponzi, Saidel said he "gifted'' some assets to her that he'd acquired before that.

"She does have a claim to anything pre-Ponzi,'' he said last week.

A certain smart Guest Blogger suggests this is really dumb, as it will inject Kimmie into the forfeiture and criminal proceedings, where she will be fighting to establish when exactly the Ponzi scheme began and that the "gifts" were not purchased with dirty money.

Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Oh boy I'm getting flashbacks again......
