One of the key figures in Scott Rothstein’s Ponzi scheme, former Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler COO Debra Villegas, refused to answer questions in a recent civil deposition by attorneys for Gibraltar Private Bank & Trust.
Villegas took the Fifth Amendment in response to 260 questions, much to the anger of Gibraltar’s attorneys.
Her refusal to answer questions is notable because she has already pleaded guilty in the Ponzi scheme, and the start of her jail sentence has been delayed so she can cooperate with federal authorities.
