Michael Goldberg, chair of Akerman Senterfitt's Bankruptcy & Reorganization Practice Group, was featured in the Daily Business Review article titled, "Akerman's Michael Goldberg Selected Rothstein Liquidating Trustee," after being appointed liquidating trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Scott Rothstein who was convicted for the fourth largest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history.
Goldberg has been involved in the case since the start in late 2009. He received the appointment on a unanimous vote of the creditors committee, which he represented. As liquidating trustee, he will supervise the distribution of $180 million recovered from the $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme operated at the defunct law firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler P.A.
