Jeffrey Epstein filed a lawsuit against attorney Brad Edwards in 2009 to intimidate him into dropping sex abuse lawsuits. Edwards secured settlements for victims and filed a new lawsuit seeking $50 million in damages. Epstein's lawsuit alleged Edwards was involved in false claims by Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. The Florida Bar dismissed Epstein's complaint against Edwards, and the U.S. Attorney's Office identified Edwards as a potential victim of Rothstein.
