In pleading guilty, Rosenfeldt admitted involvement in campaign finance violations and financial irregularities at Fort Lauderdale’s Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm.
He also admitted conspiring with law enforcement officers to force a paid female escort out of state when her boyfriend threatened to expose their relationship.
The charges are not directly linked to Rothstein’s $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme, which involved investments in fake legal settlements.
Rothstein is serving 50 years in prison. Third partner Russell Adler also pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
