Scott Rothstein’s law firm creditors could soon be paid in full, more than five years after the exposure of Rothstein’s $1 billion-plus fraud brought on the firm’s collapse, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. A bankruptcy judge has been asked to approve a final distribution to unsecured creditors of Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, the now-defunct South Florida law firm that Rothstein used to conduct his massive fraud. Trustee Michael Goldberg, responsible for getting checks out to creditors, on Tuesday filed court papers seeking the court’s permission to send out of millions of dollars to the holders of nearly 80 unsecured claims. Among those slated for final payment are the NBA’s Miami Heat, which would receive nearly $172,000, and the American Heart Association, which would receive more than $26,000.
