| Description | TALLAHASSEE | A forged e-mail that attempts to show Democrat Alex Sink was linked to a "pay to play'' scheme with convicted Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein has emerged in the highly-contested governor's race.
The e-mail — circulated by an anonymous operative who will only call reporters from a blocked phone number —concerns efforts by the Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm in 2009 to land a lucrative contract with the State Board of Administration, on which Sink sits as Florida Chief Financial Officer.
A court-approved law firm that has all of Rothstein's e-mails proclaimed the e-mail a fake, as did one of the recipients. The law firm, Berger Singerman, has strong Democratic ties; the e-mail recipient is a Sink supporter. A Republican operative who worked out of Rothstein's firm of Rothstein Rosenfeld Adler also said the correspondence appeared doctored.
