Epstein invokes Fifth Amendment in deposition about alleged scheme involving victim‑lawyer Bradley Edwards and Scott Rothstein fraud

Epstein invokes Fifth Amendment in deposition about alleged scheme involving victim‑lawyer Bradley Edwards and Scott Rothstein fraud The passage links Jeffrey Epstein to a potential coordinated effort with Scott Rothstein’s Ponzi scheme and a victim‑lawyer, Bradley Edwards. It provides specific dates, deposition transcripts, and a victim‑notification letter, offering concrete leads for follow‑up (e.g., request the full deposition, the U.S. Attorney’s letter, and any related Florida Bar filings). While the allegations are unverified, they involve high‑profile figures and could expose a broader network of financial misconduct, meriting a strong investigative value but not yet a blockbuster revelation. Key insights: July 20, 2010 letter from U.S. Attorney’s Office labeling Edwards a victim of Rothstein’s fraud; Jeffrey Epstein filed a complaint with the Florida Bar accusing Edwards of wrongdoing in the Rothstein case; the complaint was dismissed; Epstein’s March 17, 2010 deposition shows he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked about his lawsuit against Edwards
