from George Richards of On Frozen Pond,
In case you haven’t heard, the Fort Lauderdale law firm RRA isn’t having a very good week.
One of its founders is accused of bilking hundreds of millions of dollars from the firm and from clients. He flew to Morocco (apparently to avoid extradition) but returned to Lauderdale yesterday.
So what does this have to do with hockey?
Well, RRA is a huge sponsor of South Florida sports teams including the Dolphins, Heat and of course, the Panthers.
Word is the team is trying to separate itself from the scandal. I’m also hearing the law firm hasn’t paid off the team for its signage and sponsorships since it’s so early in the season. And now, with the firm’s funds down to about $500,000, that’s a check that isn’t coming.
