He was a bootlegger in Cleveland, Ohio, during Prohibition in the 1920s and 1930s.
Rothkopf and his wife Blanche resided in a 37-acre estate located in Bainbridge Center (formerly home to the Maple Leaf Country Club, or Maple Club, a gambling establishment closed in 1927).
He attended three years of high school, and married Blanche Morgan in 1929.
The couple had no children.
As a bootlegger, Rothkopf traveled widely, and supervised alcohol production for the "Cleveland Four," also known as the Cleveland Syndicate.
Rothkopf is credited with the "erection and operation of the largest illegal distilleries ever found in the United States."
He maintained a suite in Cleveland's Hollenden Hotel with his associates.
In the early 1930s, Rothkopf was a partner in the Prospect Advertising Co., a front for a gambling operation.
Rothkopf was described as a Cleveland-based "racketeer" in the press by 1931, when he was sought by the police as a possible witness in the murder of a Cleveland councilor, William E. Potter.
In 1936, alongside Moe Dalitz, Morris Kleinman and Sam Tucker, Rothkopf invested in the River Downs and Thistledown racetracks in Ohio.

With Morris Kleinman, Rothkopf was asked to testify before the Senate Crime Investigation Committee chaired by Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver on bootlegging allegations in 1952.
