Tom Goldstein, co-founder of SCOTUSblog, was arrested again after government attorneys claimed he lied about his financial situation. He reportedly concealed two cryptocurrency wallets, through which he made over $8 million in transactions. Government filings denote him as a flight risk, leading to a presumption that his release conditions should be revoked. Originally arrested in January on a 22-count indictment related to tax evasion linked to his poker-playing career, his attempts to use various properties as collateral for his defense were opposed by prosecutors due to flight risk concerns.
Goldstein's conduct demonstrates that he is a serious risk of flight, that he cannot abide by the conditions of release, and that he has lied to this court.
Goldstein was first arrested January 16th. He faces a 22-count indictment alleging his side career as a high-stakes poker player fueled crimes of tax evasion.
