(AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal is donating $30,000 in campaign donations to charity after the Florida donor was accused of orchestrating a $1 billion Ponzi scheme.The money was funneled to Jindal’s campaign by Scott Rothstein, a south Florida lawyer. Rothstein served as co-host of an Alachua, Fla., fundraiser for Jindal in October 2008 held in connection with the LSU-Florida football game. Rothstein has since been accused by federal authorities of selling investments in nonexistent legal settlements.
