The Mandels score...
... to the tune of $67 million. Here's Curt Anderson on what happened:
Congrats to David and Nina Mandel who have been working very hard on this case. Judge Cooke presided over the first of what will be many Scott Rothstein-related civil trials.
A federal jury decided Wednesday that Toronto-based TD Bank owes an investment group $67 million for its role in a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme that was operated by a now disbarred attorney, Scott Rothstein.
The verdict came in a lawsuit filed by Coquina Investments, based in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was the first to go to trial of several pending lawsuits filed by wronged investors against the bank and others. Coquina attorney David S. Mandel said the jury "sent exactly the right message to TD Bank."

New Times honors blog
Thanks to the New Times and Francisco Alvarado for the honorable mention and saying that the blog is "the definitive source on South Florida's federal court system, reporting and opining on judicial appointments to high-profile cases." Pretty cool!
So, in that vein, the latest news on the WPB magistrate is that AUSA Kim Abel has withdrawn her name from consideration. I've been told that the slot has now been offered to Bill Matthewman, but I haven't been able to confirm it yet. As soon as I do, I will post.

A fool for a client...
1. So, I got a ticket and I'll be representing myself in the Justice Building this afternoon because Rumpole refuses to represent me. Should I channel Woody Allen from Bananas?
