They raised doubts about whether Goldstein—who won and lost millions of dollars at a time in poker games with Hollywood stars and billionaires—actually had net gambling income to report. His lawyers repeatedly said there’s no evidence that Goldstein directed anyone to mischaracterize transactions as business expenses, or that he intended for income to go unreported.

And that was all before Goldstein took the stand Feb. 11, not only to explain away the prosecution’s tax case but to introduce his defense to other charges he’d seemingly admitted to.

Goldstein collected two big wins before the trial even started. On the eve of trial, the government dismissed its tax evasion charges for all years except 2016, and Goldstein’s lawyers were able to exclude evidence that he had multiple extramarital affairs and put several of the women on his law firm’s payroll.

And while much of his defense pivoted on what was reported to whom, when and how, Goldstein and his lawyers came back to one key point: his adventures in high-stakes poker mostly cost him. And if he failed to report his gambling winnings and losses accurately, it either wasn’t willful or was the fault of his accountants.

Even in 2016, a year when Goldstein reported net winnings of $2.7 million on his tax return, he told jurors that was the result of bad math. He said he actually lost by several million, walking through records and explaining what he misunderstood when he calculated the figure he provided to his accountants in October 2017.

All told, Goldstein said he believes he’s down $10 million from his years of gambling.

“I’m a loser,” he told the jury.

Not yet. I’ve met Tom a few times and it didn’t occur to me that he was going to take the stand. He’s the most silver tongued lawyer I’ve ever met. Government is probably fucked.

Fascinating story all around.

Hopefully there's a mini documentary instead of a god awful movie like Molly's Game.

Wow. Does he have any appellate chances? Seems like the judge erred in the side of the defense in a lot of these pre trial rulings.

Goldstein you can ge stomped by Tobey/

You 55 year old bald-headed fag

Among the witnesses who testified during the trial was actor Tobey Maguire, who starred in 2002's "Spider-Man" and other films. Maguire, who is not accused of wrongdoing, told jurors he hired Goldstein in 2020 to try to recover more than $7 million that a Texas businessman allegedly owed the actor in a poker debt.

Goldstein's legal work helped Maguire recover the money. Maguire testified that Goldstein had him route his $500,000 legal fee to a third party rather than pay it directly to him.

I had flagged this from the indictment didn’t realize it was spidey lol. I imagine all his bullshitting about it being an accident fell flat since I haven’t heard any explanation for how he “forgot” to report this 500k in income lol

That whole story in the indictment was crazy. Too bad they’ll never make a movie about a bald appellate lawyer.
