A federal judge blasted and sanctioned TD Bank and its law firm, Greenberg Traurig, today for blatant discovery errors in a fraud suit won by investors who were cheated by ex-lawyer Scott Rothstein’s $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme.
U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke in Miami found Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based TD Bank manipulated its attorneys and concluded Greenberg was negligent in its handling of the case brought by Corpus Christi, Texas-based Coquina Investments LLC. But she issued no sanctions against any individual attorneys at the Miami-based law firm. Over 200 Greenberg Traurig attorneys were involved in the case, the judge noted.
