I hadn't realized SCOTUSBlog founder Tom Goldstein is facing federal felony charges. Probably explains the sellout (and his prior op-ed arguing for dropping the criminal charges against Trump, hoping to curry favor).
On January 16, 2025, Goldstein was indicted in Maryland federal court on charges he schemed to evade taxes for years and used funds from his boutique law firm to cover gambling debts. The indictment describes Goldstein as a high-stakes poker player who participated in games with multimillion-dollar stakes. Between 2016 and 2022, he allegedly evaded taxes, filed false returns, and failed to pay tax obligations. Goldstein is accused of using millions from his Bethesda-based law firm, Goldstein & Russell, to cover gambling and personal debts while underreporting his gambling winnings by millions.
