After serving a prison sentence for financial crimes, he began advising clients on incarceration preparation and reentry.[1][2] He is known for his work with high-profile clients including Harvey Weinstein, Luigi Mangione, and Keith Raniere.[3][4]
Education
[edit | edit source]Rothfeld earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from University at Albany, SUNY in 1993.[5] He obtained a Master of Business Administration in finance and international business from the New York University Stern School of Business.[6]
Rothfeld later completed a Master of Arts in Criminal Justice and a Post Graduate Certification in Criminal Sentencing and Sentencing Advocacy, both from Arizona State University’s Watts College of Public Service & Community Solutions.[6]
Career and conviction
[edit | edit source]Before his conviction, Rothfeld worked in the financial services industry at organizations such as Arthur Andersen & Co., Sotheby’s, Conectiv, and WJB Capital Group Inc.[5][7][8] WJB Capital dissolved in 2011, followed by lawsuits from investors for fraud [9] and breach of contract.[10]
After being indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney in February 2014, Rothfeld submitted a plea deal where he admitted to defrauding investors out of $11 million[11][12] and he agreed to a custodial sentence between 18 and 54 months in New York State prison.[13] In December 2015, Rothfeld was convicted of grand larceny, tax fraud, and falsifying Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regulatory financial statements.
Rothfeld began serving his prison sentence in Rikers Island.[14][15] He served approximately 18 months in custody and was released in 2017.[4]
Prison consultant career
[edit | edit source]Following his release in 2017, Rothfeld founded Inside Outside Ltd.,[4] a New York City-based prison consulting firm.[5][16][17] Rothfeld claims to advocate for the “human rights” of justice-impacted people and helping families manage challenges associated with incarceration.[4]
Rothfeld has served several high-profile criminal clients including Harvey Weinstein[18], NXIVM founder Keith Raniere,[4] former Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg,[19][20][21] and rapper Sheff G, who hired Rothfeld after pleading guilty to attempted murder.[22] He is primarily known and referenced publicly in relation to his work with Luigi Mangione after Mangione was charged in the killing of UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson.[23][5]
