SCOTT ROTHSTEIN'S PONZI ASSISTANT RELEASED FROM PRISON



Debra Villegas, described as master Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein's "right-hand woman," was released from Federal Prison on December 18, according to Bureau of Prison records.We have previously covered the details of her case, and sentence reduction. This will surely make a number of Rothstein's victims unhappy, but it appears that her reduced sentence was primarily due to her unavailability to assist the US Attorney's office in an upcoming trial of a TD Bank officer linked to the scheme, unless she was not longer in custody.
