Accomplished Lawyer Who Helped a Lot of People, a Good Family Man with a Strong Work Ethic

Steven M. Lippman is sentenced to three years in federal prison for his involvement in the Ponzi scheme master-minded by his law partner Scott Rothstein.

The Daily Business Review article on Lippman's sentencing (not available on the internet), quotes Lippman saying of Rothstein to the judge, "He had this way of making wrong sound right."

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
-1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV 1984)

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
-Psalms 1:1 (KJV)

When the wicked prosper in the polis, they corrupt the minds of the more virtuous, who then take the license of the wicked as their example.
-Euripides, Tragic Fragment
