Top Attorney Tom Goldstein Indicted for Tax Evasion

Tom Goldstein, a prominent attorney and co-founder of SCOTUSblog, has been indicted on multiple federal tax charges in Maryland. The indictment accuses him of evading taxes by failing to report millions in poker winnings and misappropriating legal fees from his law firm to pay gambling debts. Goldstein allegedly hid substantial gambling losses and did not pay taxes from 2016 to 2021, despite spending lavishly on personal expenses. The charges include 22 counts of tax evasion, falsifying tax returns, and making false statements to mortgage lenders. Defense attorneys claim Goldstein intends to contest the charges vigorously, asserting his reputation as a respected lawyer. Goldstein has previously argued over 40 cases before the Supreme Court and has taught at prestigious law schools.
