The Indictment of Tom Goldstein

Tom Goldstein, a prominent Supreme Court litigator and co-founder of SCOTUSblog, has been indicted on charges related to tax evasion amidst allegations of high-stakes underground gambling and misuse of law firm funds. Goldstein reportedly participated in illegal gambling activities while also managing multiple extramarital relationships within his law firm. The indictment includes claims of him siphoning off firm funds to cover personal debts, including alleged gambling losses, and not reporting significant gambling gains to the IRS. This scandal not only reveals the personal excesses of Goldstein’s life but also raises questions about ethical practices in law firm financial management.
