PANews reported on February 11 that according to CNBC, US federal prosecutors accused well-known Supreme Court lawyer Tom Goldstein of concealing two cryptocurrency wallets that received more than $8 million in funds and transferring $6 million in the past week, violating court orders and was therefore re-arrested.

Goldstein was previously indicted in January for tax evasion , accusing him of failing to report millions of dollars in poker gambling income and using law firm funds to repay gambling debts. He is accused of owing more than $5.3 million in taxes . Prosecutors said he had provided benefits such as cryptocurrency to a key witness, suspected of trying to interfere with the witness' testimony.

Court documents show that since November 2022 , the wallet controlled by Goldstein has received a total of $75.6 million and sent $73.6 million . Although the wallet funds were zero when he was sued in January, on February 4 , his wallet first received $10 in Tether (USDT) , and an hour later received $8 million in USDT , and then quickly transferred $6 million .

Prosecutors believe that Goldstein is a serious risk of absconding , violated bail conditions, and deceived the court and pretrial services agencies, and requested that his bail be revoked. Goldstein appeared in the federal court in Maryland on Monday for a bail hearing. At present, the case is still under further trial.
