Gary Jay Kaufman, Mr. Rotella's attorney, issued the following statement in response to Thursday's dismissal:

"I am so pleased that all of the charges in the grand jury indictment against Mr. Rotella have now been dismissed. We have maintained from day one that Mr. Rotella is innocent, and today's dismissal finally confirms this. I am elated for Mr. Rotella and his family."

Mr. Rotella issued his own statement as follows:
