Goldstein, co-founder of SCOTUSblog, faced legal turmoil this week due to charges of tax and fraud linked to his gambling activities. After being arrested and detained, he managed to secure release by contesting the ownership of substantial cryptocurrency assets disclosed during legal proceedings. His release comes with strict monitoring stipulations regarding electronic devices and cryptocurrency transactions, reflecting the court's concerns about his financial activities and the flight risk status assigned to him. Goldstein's legal defense, now supported by Munger Tolles, continues to challenge the prosecution's claims about his financial dealings.
The focus on cryptocurrency is the story of Goldstein's week, having gone to jail after prosecutors deemed him a flight risk upon discovering some $8 million in crypto.
Goldstein argued that those wallets didn't belong to him and the government couldn't prove he did anything but send money to them in the past.
