Tom Goldstein, co-founder of SCOTUSblog, is contesting a magistrate judge's conclusion regarding his financial situation in a tax evasion case. He claims a negative net worth exceeding $3.3 million and asserts his right to use equity from his marital home for legal defense. Goldstein faces allegations of underreporting gambling winnings and misusing law firm funds for debt management. He argues that the judge’s financial conclusions are flawed and harmful to his innocent wife, Amy Howe, equally emphasizing his wish to secure fair legal representation without endangering his family.
Goldstein argued that the magistrate judge's conclusion about his financial capabilities and potential flight risks was inappropriate given his negative net worth.
Claims against Goldstein include allegations of understating gambling winnings on tax returns and using his law firm to handle debts.
