#### Overview
2. This action arises out of a fraudulent scheme orchestrated by Scott W. Rothstein, who bilked investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Rothstein, through. Aeirts of his law firm Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, P.A. (collectively referred to here' 1Z,, "Principal Conspirators" and more fully described, infra), devised an elaborat plan assign putative plaintiffs' confidential settlements with structured payments w pvesTors at a lump sum discounted rate. In reality, while some of the cases used to estor funding were real, all of the confidential settlements were purely fabricat returns to earlier investors were not made via structured payments, but instead with the principal obtained from later investors--a classic Ponzi scheme.'
1. However, the Princic yo orators did not act alone. Defendant, TD BANK, N.A. (hereinafter, "TD Bank") a subst ary of Toronto Dominion Bank, was complicit in this I scheme, serving as a critical lynchpin "legitimizing" the Principal Conspirators' plot and facilitating crucial inducements to investor action. Specifically, investors were duped by TD Bank employees conspiring with the Principal Conspirators to manipulate TD Bank's trust account I statements and deceiving investors with false senses of security predicated on written assurances that settlement funds existed and would only be released directly to them. It is these bank
A Ponzi scheme is generally recognized as a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors from their own money or from monies paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned. The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi who became notorious for using the technique in early 1920.
declarations, tantamount to a guaranty, which gravely impacted investor risk-evaluation analysis and unduly influenced investors to close their deals.
4. Moreover, demonstrative of TD Bank's participation or alternatively, evidence of their gross negligence and wanton disregard, is the bank's reckless disregard of numerous "red flags." Irrefutably, TD Bank knew that Rothstein Rosendfeldt Adler, P.A. (here er, "RRA") was moving hundreds of millions of dollars through its TD Bank trust accoun in October 2009 alone, almost a half of a billion dollars moved in and out of RRA's rt Lattderdale based trust accounts--more money than most bank branches would likely decade. Yet, despite the massive amount of funds being moved by one client, B never sought independent verification of the source of monies, choosing instead to \\int itily by. The Ponzi scheme simply could not have gained traction without TD B willfully failing to authenticate the origin doors. ivement in sanctioning or, otherwise, ous amounts of money coming through its

#### The Ponzi Scheme
#### The Rothstein Facade
33. From humble beginnings in 2003, Rothstein built RRA into one of the fastest growing Florida-based law firms. Under Rothstein's stewardship, RRA grew from seven attorneys to over seventy and amassed over two hundred and fifty in staff. g sv,ith its n i m dramatic growth in size, RRA rapidly emerged as a legal, politicaO ituithropic powerhouse.
more than sixteen real estate properties, twenty-five cars, interests in a myriad of businesses ranging from w Rothstein's assets seized by the federal gov hereto as Exhibit "A-1." 34. Not surprisingly, Rothstein amassed an enormo to of assets including en foot yacht, and various aurants to vodka. See a list of with estimates of their value attached
35. Rothstein lived lain nt prolifically--critical components necessary to set his scheme in motion.
01. With t RRi tivfireless marketing efforts and meteoric rise into prominence, Rothstein quickly made f ys into preeminent social circles, rubbing elbows with high networth individuals and political luminaries, the perfect breeding grounds to lure wealthy investors. His plot was up and running.
#### The Plan
37. Rothstein seized upon his new found stature to entice investors into what would eventually become a Ponzi scheme using his budding employment and labor practice at RRA as his conduit.
01. The scheme was predicated on the Principal Conspirators self-professed pipeline of pre-suit, confidential settlement agreements as the "preeminent sexual harassment and labor employment law firm in the country." Investors were told that the Principal Conspirators had an extensive in-house private investigative team, including former F.B.I. and C.I.A. agents, whose singular task was to obtain compromising evidence against high-profile putative defendants. Rothstein's story was that the evidence and surveillance acquired, often supporting civil causes of action ranging from sexual harassment to mass tort cover-ups tow stlaittnrer claims, was presented to the putative defendant who was then offered an opportunity o avoid litigation and the negative publicity associated therewith by agreeing to resolve the matter voluntarily by and through a confidential settlement with the putative plaintiff.
01. Once the putative defendant agreed, the confidential settlement always included two main ingredients: (1) that structured-payments to a putative plaintiff be made over time, generally a three to nine month tinviperiod; and (2) that the putative defendant would fund the entire settlement up front to be held in RRA's TD Bank trust account and disbursed to the putative plaintiff in accordance with the terms of the confidential settlement agreement.
#### The Pitch
40 Ro t informed investors that the putative plaintiffs did not want to wait for the onthly payouts and would agree to assign their rights to the structured payout for a lump-sum payment typically at a discount in the range of 20-40% of the settlements' facevalue. \_Rothstein always had a plethora of plausible explanations as to why a putative plaintiff wanted their money now and simply could not wait for the structured monthly payments.
41. Rothstein claimed to want nothing from the deal and was only presenting the "opportunity" fora putative plaintiffs benefit and to facilitate recovery of RRA's contingent fee. Notwithstanding, Rothstein would often boast that if not for his professional and legal conflicts he would be the one purchasing these assignments.
01. As a means to induce investor action, Rothstein would show investors the purported settlement agreement in an attempt to substantiate the deal; however, because the settlements were pre-suit and confidential, the names of the putative plaintiffs and putative defendants were redacted.
01. Additionally, the Principal Conspirators would provide: (1) confirmation of RRA's trust account balance at TD Bank evidencing the putative defendants fully funded settlement proceeds; (2) a "lock letter", drafted and executed by a TD Bank executive, irrevocably confirming that the respective settlement proceeds in RRA's trust account could only be paid directly to the investor's designated account which, in most cases, was an account at TD Bank; and (3) opportunities for an independent third-party verifier to authenticate the underlying settlement, assignment and funding of settlement proceeds.
01. Notably, Rothstein was hyper-vigilant regarding irregs to RRA accounts under the guise of confidentiality. In fact, potential investors could only access 11) Bank account informatzon inane of two ways. Either Rothstein would invite the investor to his office to view the online balance provided by himself or Stay3 or, he would "authorize" TD Bank to provide copies of account statements and wire transfers prepared and delivered by TD Bank executives

Spinosa, Kerstetter and Caretsky. On numerous occasions, TD Bank vice-president Spinosa, assistant manager Kerstetter, and assistant vice president Caretsky, physically handed the trust account statement to Rothstein in the immediate presence of an investor.
45. As the final piece to persuade an investment, Rothstein would offer to rsonally guaranty the transaction. This personal guaranty, secured by the significant asse used, supra), was a vital component which tacitly lent credibility and security to t on.

#### Ponzi Scheme In Action
#### Fabricated Settlements Premised on Real Cases
48. In certain instances, the purported settlements, albeit fraudulent, were based on actual cases being handled by RRA. For example, one of the settlements involved herein was based upon facts surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous billionaire financier. In fact. RRA did have inside information due to its representation of one of Epstein's alleged victims in a civil 2 ., case styled Jane Doe v. Jeffrey Esptein, pending in the Southern District of Florida. Representatives of D3 were offered "the opportunity" to inve a p -suit \$30,000,000.00, court settlement against Epstein arising from the same set 'o operative facts as the Jane Doe case, but involving a different underage female pl • ls," e-mail dated October 6, 2009 referencing Epstein which is attached hereto an to herein as Exhibit "B." To augment his concocted story Rothstein invited D ce to view the thirteen banker's boxes of actual case files in Jane Doe in emonstrate that the claims against Epstein were legitimate and that the eviden Epstein was real. In particular, Rothstein claimed that his investigative team discovered that there were high-profile witnesses onboard Epstein's private jet where some of the alleged sexual assaults took place and showed D3 copies of a flight log purportedlreirtaining names of celebrities, dignitaries and international figures. Because of these potentially explosive facts, putative defendant Epstein had allegedly offered \$200,000,000.00 for settlement of the claims held by various young women who were his victims. Adding fuel to the fire, the investigative team representative privately told a D3 representative that they found three additional claimants which Rothstein did not yet know about.
Further, Preve was present for this meeting, despite the fact that he was not involved as an investor or representative in the D3 deal.
49. Additionally, Rothstein used RRA's representation in the Epstein case to pursue issues and evidence unrelated to the underlying litigation but which was potentially beneficial to lure investors into the Ponzi scheme. Por instance, RRA relentlessly pursued flight data and passenger manifests regarding flights Epstein took with other famous individuals knowing full well that no under age women were on board and no illicit activities took place. RRA also inappropriately attempted to take the depositions of these celebrities in a deliberate effort to bolster Rothstein's lies.
01. Conspicuously, and contrary to Banvon's allegations4 , Preve and Szafranski shared an office at RRA one floor down from Rothstele providing them access to Rothstein to assist in the furtherance of the Ponzi scheme. This fact helps explain why Preve attended the aforementioned D3 meeting despite)ns lack of involvement as an investor or representative.
/ 51. Another actual case which Rothstein attempted to use as a false predicate for his scheme was a mass tort cast against Chiquita Brands International. In this instance, Rothstein claimed to be representingpplaintiffs in 450 wrongful death cases on the verge of settling for 52,000,000.00 each. Rothstein told investors to begin raising funds in order to purchase this settlement \\Vey e-tnail dated October 14, 2009 referencing Chiquita which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "C."

#### Plaintiffs' Investments:
#### I. Banyon Income Fund
52. BIF was formed in May 2009, and served as an original feeder fund for the Principal Conspirators settlement deals.
01. According to the offering materials provided by Levin and Preve, BFI's stated investment goal was to purchase:
> discount settlements and related periodic revenue stream from individual plaintiffs who have settled their labor and employment related lawsuits or claims, and who would otherwise receive their settlement amounts over a period of time. The purchased settlements arc secured by the full settlement amounts which will have been deposited in a trust account established by the plaintiff's attorney for the benefit of the plaintiff prior to purchase by Banyon Income Fund, LP. These sett ts ore released to Banyon Income Fund, LP o liquidate the purchased settlement.
See Confidential Offering Memoran 2 1.11.1 April 30, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Comp/mite bit "D."
54. Not coincidentally, BIF's investment strategy is identical to the purported investment vehicle offered by the Principal Conspirators at the center of the Ponzi scheme.
01. In fact, the Confidential Offering Memorandum avers that "folnee a structure of formal doctupentation was put in place and a relationship established with Rothstein, the General Partner w able to achieve a large ramp up in business volume . . fwhichl have stabilized at approximately \$60,000,000 - \$75,000,000 in funded business per month," and that the Iftundin for these activities has come from credit facilities with institutional hedge fund lenders as well as the personal capital of Mr. Levin." Id.

01. In the spring of 2009, Barry Bekkedam from Ballamor Capital Management, LLC (hereinafter, "Ballamor")6 and promoter of BIF, met Doug Von Allmen (D&L Partners) to discuss D&L Partners' participation in BIF.
01. During that discussion, Mr. Von Allmen learned that BM was started by Levin, a professed mentor and confidant of Rothstein, and that the settlements BIF was purchasing were through an exclusive arrangement negotiated between Rothstein and Levin ranbehalf of BIF.
01. Mr. Von Allmen was told by Mr. Bekkedam that Levi onally worth in excess of \$400,000,000.00 and would personally guarantee the sottla ents.
01. Additionally, Mr. Bekkedam told Mr. V 1 that the settlements were N, I already fully-funded in the attorneys' trust accoun t 'th "Sis,a "Big Four "6 auditing firm would verify them quarterly, and that Ballamor had ( S • u unfettered access to the trust account balances and would oversee Banvon's h• ' cao independent verifier to monitor and confirm the settlement transaction.
01. Finally, Mr. Vc'sAllmen was told by Mr. Bekkedam that it would take two signatures to move the money, one of which would be someone from BIF.
01. In reliance tin these purported security and verification procedures, on or about May 4. 2009. Mr. Von Allmen (through D&L Partners) and his wife Linda Von Allmen (through Dynasty Trust) first wired BM funds; approximately one month later, his son and daughter-in-law David and Ann Von Allmen (thm\* the DVA Trust and AVA Trust) and his step-son,

See Confidential Settlement Agreements and Releases which are attached hereto and incorporated herein as Composite Exhibit "O."
01. In particular, the deal was structured so Razorback would fund \$32,000,000.00 towards the purchase of these settlements by means of a loan to Banyon USVI, LLC.

See September 18, 2009 lock letter from TD Bank which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "Q." The lock letter'indicates that TD Bank had been irrevocably instructed to pay the fund identified in a particular KKA trust account only to the investor's bank account.
01. On October 1, 2009, Szafranski, who was utilized as the independent reviewer for Razorback as well, met with Rothstein to review and verify all of the documents supporting the
Razorback deal.

#### Amended Complaint
#### 4. BFMC Investment, LLC
92. BFMC was formed in November 1998 to fund investment opportunities.
01. On September 28 2009, BFMC principal, Barry Florescue ("Florescue") met socially with Andrew Barnett ("Barnett"), Director of Corporate Development for RRA.
01. During this meeting, Barnett described his role at RRA and invited Florescue to meet Rothstein later that week to discuss a lucrative investment opportunity. Florescue was aware of Rothstein given Rothstein's prominence in the Fort Lauderdale business and social community, and a meeting was scheduled at RRA on September 30, 2009.
01. Florescue and his employee, Mark Seigel ("Seigel"), arrived in RRA's offices and were initially introduced to Boden. Coincidentally, Boden had, many years earlier, worked as a junior staff member with Florescue's corporate counsel and had actively worked on one of Florescue's previous financing transactions.
01. After several minutes, Boden and Barnett led Florescue and Seigel into Rothstein's private office.
01. After introductions, Rothstein described an investment opportunity involving I purchasing various settlements with structuredpavments explaining as follows:
a RRA is a nationally recognized firm representing whistleblowers in whistleblower lawsuits against employers. RRA has specific expertise in a specific type of litigation called Qui Tani litigation, in which the defendant is also accused of defrauding the United States government. RRA became a magnet for Qui Tam cases following its success as co-counsel in a 2008 Eli Lilly Qui Tam case, which resulted in a \$1 billion plus settlement.
b. RRA was currently representing whistleblower plaintiffs inside a Fortune 500 company that had allegedly defrauded the United States government. Citing confidentiality, Rothstein could not share the name of the defendant, but he described it as a large food conglomerate that had substituted cheaper ingredients into food supplies sold to the government A"... under national contracts. Rothstein was rounding up dozens of whistleblo3 wird mside the company who had been threatened by senior management to remain company's fraud. ing the
c. RRA had negotiated numerous settlementas\$1"000.00 for various whistleblower clients, but the defendant insisted on paying the settlements out over four months. The plaintiffs wanted their cash up front.
d. Rothstein explained that the putative plaintiffs were willing to take a large discount up front because: (i) they had a high degree of concern over whether defendant would attempt to prevent them from receiving payments after settling and, (ii) Rothstein explained in detail a legal concept called "privity" — plaintiff was "in privity" with the defendant which subjected their settlement to reversal by the federal government. Rothstein represented that a third party buyer of the settlement rights would not be subject to such reversal as the third party was not "in privity" with the defendant.
c. The settlement documents were drafted and ready to be settled, but Rothstein needed to find an investor to fund the settlement. Rothstein explained that such a transaction was legal, because the settlement agreement had no "anti-assignment rights", but that any third party investor couldn't be given any details about the parties involved in the settlement, because it was by nature highly confidential and did contain strong confidentiality provisions.
f. Due to the fact that a "funder" could not be given any information about the case, the defendant, or the plaintiff, and given the fact that Rothstein needed a high degree of confidentiality about even the existence of the funding arrangement (in order to prevent defendants from explicitly prohibiting this type of arrangement going forward), Rothstein could only engage in such transaction with local friends with whom he trusted.
g. RRA's clients were willing to accept \$800,000.00 up hange for their rights to the \$1,400,000.00 settlement, payable over 4 months.
h. Rothstein could not personally fund the st settlements because it was illegal for him or his firm to profit from a structured ttl ent in which he represented the \\ v plaintiff. However, it was in his firm's interest to f a so that the firm could settle the case and get paid its contingency fee.
I. Rothstein remark#5transaction would be substantiated and verified, that he would provide evidence o settlement in his office, and that he would get on the phone with Spinosa of TD Bank to confirm that the putative defendant's funds had been wired into a Florida Bar trust account with instructions to only release the funds in that account to the specified funder.
98. Upon concluding the meeting, Barnett walked Florescue and Seigel out to the elevator. During a debrief, Barnett revealed that the defendant was Dole Foods, which had knowingly supplied the U.S. Government with impure orange juice in a major juice contract that called for 100% pure orange juice. Barnett said that Rothstein had offered to sign a corporate and personal guaranty as a further inducement to make the investment.
#### Amended Complaint
99. Between September 30, 2009 and October 15, 2009, BFMC worked with their counsel and Boden on various transaction documents necessary to close the deal.
01. During the first week of October 2009, Florescue telephoned Spinosa, who Florescue knew professionally based on various banking activities previously engaged in, to inquire about Rothstein. Spinosa said that he could not talk about Rothstein ivitbout Rothstein's consent.
01. In early October, 2009, Boden finalized the deal documents for BFMC's investment in three identical RRA settlements: (I) a \$1,400,000.00 structured settlement, payable in four equal monthly installments, offered in c c n? e, for a lump sum payment of \$800,000.00; (2) a second \$1,400,000.00 strut )ili,,, e payable in four equal monthly installments, offered in exchange for a lum Sy ent of \$800,000.00; and (3) a third tut 51,400,000.00 structured settlement, p our equal monthly installments, offered in exchange for a lump sum payme ,000.00. See correspondence from David Boden which is attached hereto and incorporaate3 herein as Exhibit "DI)."
01. BFMC's explicit understanding from Boden and Rothstein was that the putative defendant's funds were to be held in RBA's trust account and could only be released directly to BFMC's ac lint pursuant to an irrevocable "lock letter." c(etyl
10 \_or about October 15, 2009, as part of its due diligence, BFMC obtained a copy of a TD B ock letter' signed by Spinosa stating that:

#### Implosion of Rothstein's Portz! Schime
105. In October 2009, the Ponzi scheme reached critical mass. October was a huge month for investor settlement redemptions and Rothstein knew that the influx of new investor capital could not satisfy all previous investor obligations. Sensing that the end was near, Rothstein began planning his escape.
001. On October 17, 2009, Rothstein sent a firm-wide e-mail at RRA asking for help to determine whether a "olio is facing a multitude of criminal charges in the United States including fraud, laundering and embezzlement—could be extradited to the United States or Israel k after renouncing his United States citizenship. Rotbstein's email asked for countrilr. Abith did not have extradition treaties with the United States or Israel9 and concluded by stating that "[t]his client is related to a very powerful client of ours and so time is of the essence. Lets rock and roll... there is a very large fee attached to this case. Thanks Love ya
9 Not coincidentally Morocco, Rothstein's destination on October 27, 2009, was one of the countries that I does not have an extradition treaty with either the United States or Israel,
Scott." See Sun-Sentinel article dated November 16, 2009 referencing the October 17, 2009 email which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "FF." Suffice it to say, Rothstein was the purported "client" and this is the first clear written indication that he knew his fate.
107. By the end of October 2009, Rothstein and RRA began to default on the investors' structured payments and the Ponzi scheme began to unravel.
001. On October 26, 2009 Linda Von Allmen spoke with Rothstein ova restaurant who, in between martinis, admitted that he was "having a bad day." Rothstein was joined by a woman and his bodyguard, believed to be Joe Mu, who may have witnessed this exchange.
Ponzi scheme, confronted Rothstein who wa i• owtiiic • Spinosa inside of Bova restaurant. Pearson, in Spinosa's presence, demanded, to why he had not received two scheduled payments due to him the week prior. Roth. attempted to diffuse the situation leaving Spinosa visibly shaken. / 109. On October 27. 2009, Richard P ear' , whipd invested \$18,000,000.00 in the
110. Shortly thereafter, Rothstein proceeded to methodically drain the TD Bank RRA accounts dry, depleting virtually all of the remaining investors' money as well as the money of many of the firms' clients.
001. On the evening of October 27, 2009, Rothstein secretly boarded a private G-5 jet destined for Morocco, but not before completing a \$16,000,000.00 wire transfer to a Moroccan bank.
001. Reeling from its shameful missteps in connection with the Rothstein scandal, an emergency receiver was appointed for RRA on November 4, 2009 for the purpose of winding down its operations.
001. By October 30, 2009, investors began to scramble desperately attempting to reach Rothstein for answers. Unbeknownst to them Rothstein was already gone, along with their investments, as the Ponzi scheme finally buckled under the pressure of obligations due.
001. Alarmed investors frantically reached out to RRA executives and attorneys begging for infommtion as to the whereabouts of Rothstein and their more than \$30?000,000.00 in overdue payments. Stuart Rosenfeldt (hereinafter. "Rosenfeldt") assem IL including Baden, Stay and Grant at RRA to begin answering the delugtcaf1, 4/ or calls by first confirming with Stay (RRA's C.F.Q.) that RRA's onerating_andlNt accounts contained more than \$1 billion dollars. Shamefully. Stay refused to provide Rosenfeldt the confirmation requested. Growing ever agitated, Rosenfeldt and tit otheta_continued to press Stay demanding to know what was going onand that she pr;c t account statements. Eventually Stay relented and began inconsolably crying--taxa a the phrase. "I don't want to go to iail," Rosenfeldt proceeded to conference call 'Spinsoa who initially declined to provide account balance verification but after much cajoling finally infomied_Rosenfeldt that the RRA accounts had been almost completely depleted.

116. As the dust begins to settle, critical details have emerged revealing the scope and magnitude of this the nefarious scheme. By way of example Plaintiffs have discovered that:
- a. the entirety of Plaintiffs' more than \$100,000,000.00 investment is gone;
- b. plaintiffs' "lock letter" accounts were never funded with the purpotted settlement money and contained only a nominal deposit of \$100.00;
- c. even after Rothstein's October 27, 2009 departure to Morocco, millions of dollars continued to flow out of RRA accounts from the Fort Lauderdale TD Bank accounts, indicative of an insider(s) maintaining operations of the Ponzi scheme including, but not limited to:

- d. in April 2009, \$53,060,000.00 in credits and \$51,560,000.00 in debits were transacted through four RRA trust accounts at TD Banlq
- e. in October 2009 \$235,000,000.00 in credits and \$232,000,000.00 in debits were transacted through the RRA accounts at TD Bank;
- f. the \$8,000,000.00 wire transfer confirmation used by Prey to induce Razorback's \$32,000,000.00 payment was i by RRA or TD Bank; on November 1, 2009, Mel Ofshitz invested nearly \$100,000,000.00 in • of investor victims that he personally t with verified investment a= A ances;
- C. ) Securities whose group AhdRAlitstein received scheme, advised a group Spinosa at TD Bank and
- h. during that same n informed the group that he reached out to Rothstein in letting him know that Banvon stood ready to provide nancing if he was having trouble making payments. Astoundingly. Levin's revealing admission took the group by surprise because one of the core "deal" tenants insured against any possible deficit v requiring a Putative defendant's settlement to be funded prior to an investors lump sum Purchase. Thus, any shortfall, even the smallest one, is patently contrary to the investment structure and obvious evidence that the monies are either being misused or are a part of a Ponzi scheme.
10 The group of investors attending the November 1.2009 meeting include: Kretschmar, Ted Morse, gd Morse, Richard Pearson, Ira et, Mel Lifshitr.J.ALIDiscala, . Mac elvin, Mark Nordlicht, Jack Simony. Steve Jackel, Laurence M. Steve Levin. Levin, Preve, Batty Bekkedam, and Michael Szafransld.
- i. Plaintiffs now believe that Levin's statement was a thinly-veiled attempt to cover his tracks after Rothstein rejected Levin's last-ditch efforts to persuade Rothstein to keep the Ponzi scheme going. In support. Plaintiffs rely op a October 31, 2009 email from Preve to Rothstein statingibat "We JLevin and Prevel understand that the shortage is now 300m which is still manageable if we have your cooperation. Let me know." to which Rothstein responds, "Mat is not the shortage that is the amount of money needed to give the investors back their money. I really lust need to end it M. It will make it easier for everyone." (emphasis added). The attempt to try and "manage" the hole created now presumes that Levin and Preve had knowledge of a prior deficit and serves as an unwitting admission of their involvement in the perpetuation of the Ponzi scheme; sometime in the Spring or Summer of 2009, Ted Morse was personally provided with a written account balance statement by Caretsky at TD Bank;
- k. S on hilv 27. 2009 Rothstein transferred a property with an assessed value of O 07,750.00 to for "love and affection" and \$100.00. Notwithstanding owning the property free and clear. who earned \$250.000,00 a year, decided to pull \$100,000.00 out of the property days prior to the IRS filing of a forfeiture in rem complaint against the property;
- 1. Berenfeld's audited financial statements for the affiliated Bannon entities confirmed finance receivables of \$517,404,505.00 due from RRA
settlements worth more than \$1,100,000.000.00, See Composite Exhibit "D." As now discovered, these verified finance receivables were pure fiction. Incontrovertibly. Berenfeld either willfully participated in this fraud or knew or should have known as part of the audit process that the finance receivables were fabricated and incapable o being independently verify;
- m. Berenfeld's complicity in the Ponzi scheme is further compounded by their role as accountants for RRA and Rothstein and Rosenfeldt individually providing them with first-hand knowledge of the patent inconsistencies between Banvon's purported verified audited receivables and RRA's actual numbers;
- n. due to the vast complexity in maintaining the Ponzi scheme's fraudulent accounting, it is only sophisticated accountants could have accounted for "phantom" investments over a period of four years allowing the Principal Conspirators to generate falsified statements necessary to dupe investors;
- o. s pi Ballamor r and Mr. Bekkedam received a \$5,000.000.00 "loan" from Levin la or procuring investor funds along with a \$18,000,000.00 investment through Ballamor into Nova Bank. a Pennsylvania bank; the TD Bank account statements provided and verified by Szzfranski were completely fabricated and incapable of being confirmed. In most instances, them was either no money in the settlement accounts or the amounts contained were hundreds of millions less than what was
- q. TD Bank either knew or certainly should have known of the criminality and/or gross irregularities of RRA's operations. Alternatively, TD Bank's actions and/or omissions in not conducting any due diligence inquiry into RRA's suspicious activities, unorthodox settlement structures, lack of supporting document and vigilant (if no o ive) control over account access was either deliberate or reek
represented in the statements (see Comparison Chart of Actual Account Balances with Provided Deal Account Statements as attached hereto and incorporated herein as Composite Exhibit "GG."): and
117. A Ponzi scheme cannot be operated der help. Plaintiffs believe that additional members of RRA, including its noSic a estigators, were used by Rothstein to perpetuate, promote and facilitate the Ponzi sche . The details of these individuals or entities involvement and participation is presently unknown but further allegations and counts will be added as discovery is conducted and information concerning the complicity of these individuals or entities is confirmed.
