Flamboyant, brash, and utterly crooked Florida attorney Scott Rothstein once represented Virginia Roberts (inset with Prince Andrew in 2001- who claims she was abused by the royal when she was an underage 'sex slave' 'sex slave' of billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein. Now Rothstein (bottom right with his wife Kimberley) is serving a 50-year prison sentence for racketeering and fraud after he used Ms Roberts' case, along with some other genuine lawsuits and many more completely fictional ones, as part of a complicated £800 million 'Ponzi' fraud, in which he fleeced rich investors. Mr Rothstein's fleet of luxury cars, including his Bentley (top right), and collection of 262 luxury watches (left), were auctioned off after he was busted. For some, the connection to 52-year-old Mr Rothstein, who reputedly had links with the Israeli mafia, casts a murky shadow over the Epstein case and the myriad civil lawsuits in its wake
