SCOTUS Attorney Tom Goldstein Released Again After Crypto Wallet Dispute

A federal judge reinstated Goldstein's pretrial release but imposed stricter conditions following allegations of undisclosed cryptocurrency transactions.

  • Tom Goldstein was re-released after presenting evidence casting doubt on claims he violated pretrial conditions by using undisclosed cryptocurrency wallets.
  • Prosecutors alleged Goldstein accessed wallets tied to millions in transactions, but his legal team argued the wallets were not under his ownership or control.
  • The judge acknowledged Goldstein's extensive history with cryptocurrency but stated the evidence was insufficient to prove he violated release terms.
  • New restrictions include a ban on cryptocurrency transactions and monitored computer usage, alongside prior conditions prohibiting poker activities.
  • Goldstein, facing 22 counts of tax evasion and fraud, continues to deny ownership of the wallets as the case progresses.
