Tom Goldstein, the noted appellate lawyer and publisher of SCOTUSblog, has recently requested a Maryland federal judge to allow him to use three properties in South Carolina as collateral for his pretrial release. This move aims to protect his Washington, D.C. home from being put up as collateral amidst charges of tax evasion and mortgage fraud. Goldstein’s legal maneuver is a strategic attempt to maintain his residential asset while navigating through these serious allegations.
