美国最高法院知名律师托马斯·戈德斯坦因逃税和抵押贷款欺诈罪被判处6年监禁，另需在监禁期满后接受5年的监督释放，并被责令赔偿310多万美元 [1]。
陪审团在为期六周的审理后于2月裁定，在16项指控中，戈德斯坦被判12项罪名成立，包括1项逃税罪和4项协助准备虚假税表罪 [1]。
根据法庭认定的事实，戈德斯坦在2016至2023年间隐瞒了超过2500万美元的收入，导致联邦政府损失950多万美元的税款 [1]。其中大部分隐瞒收入来自高额赌博活动 [1]。此外，他在2021年申请抵押贷款时隐瞒了1500万美元的赌债 [1]。
在量刑前，检控方建议法院判处超过8年的监禁 [1]。审判期间，演员托比·马圭尔作为证人出庭作证 [1]。
Thomas Goldstein, a prominent attorney who has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, was sentenced to six years in prison for tax evasion and mortgage fraud [1]. Following his conviction on twelve of sixteen charges, Goldstein was also ordered to pay restitution exceeding $3.1 million [1].
The case centered on Goldstein's concealment of more than $25 million in income between 2016 and 2023, resulting in a loss of approximately $9.5 million in federal taxes [1]. A substantial portion of this hidden income derived from high-stakes poker gambling [1]. Additionally, Goldstein failed to disclose $15 million in gambling debts when applying for a mortgage in 2021 [1].
Prosecutors had recommended a sentence exceeding eight years [1]. The jury's guilty verdicts included one count of tax evasion and four counts of assisting in the preparation of false tax returns, among other offenses totaling eight felonies [1]. The trial lasted six weeks before the jury reached its verdict in February [1].
Actor Tobey Maguire testified during the proceedings [1].
