Supreme Court Poker Debts

A top US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) attorney was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury for reportedly failing to report millions in poker winnings and diverting legal fees to pay for his personal poker debts.

Tom Goldstein, who according to CNBC has appeared before the Supreme Court "more times than nearly any other attorney in private practice in modern times," was charged in Maryland with tax evasion, falsifying tax returns, failing to pay taxes, and making false statements to two separate mortgage lenders.

According to the indictment, Goldstein was a high-stakes poker player between 2016 and 2024 and was "frequently playing in games involving millions of dollars." During this time, he "allegedly engaged in a scheme to evade his taxes" by diverting legal fees from his law firm, Goldstein & Russell, P.C., to his personal bank account and using them to pay poker debts.

He also allegedly used law firm assets to pay personal poker debts by falsely classifying them as "legal-fee" expenses and "using firm assets to pay salaries and health insurance premiums for people with whom Goldstein had a personal relationship but who performed little or no work for the law firm and did not qualify for its health insurance."

"Goldstein also allegedly did not report, or falsely understated, millions of dollars of gambling winnings on his tax returns," the US Attorney's Office District of Maryland said in a press release. "In addition, for 2016 through 2021, except 2018, Goldstein allegedly did not pay the taxes he self-reported were due on his returns, while simultaneously spending millions of dollars on personal expenses such as gambling debts, travel, vacation rentals, and luxury goods."

Goldstein, who co-founded the popular SCOTUSblog, represented Vice President Al Gore in his dispute in the 2000 election in one of the most important Supreme Court cases in of the 21st century. He has taught at Harvard Law School and Stanford Law School.
