Tom Goldstein is still fighting to stay out of jail as he awaits sentencing for tax and mortgage fraud, but prosecutors are turning up the heat.
According to PokerNews, they argue Goldstein is a flight risk, pointing to his connections to wealthy gamblers, his failing marriage, and his open desire to play Andy Beal for tens of millions.
Goldstein, meanwhile, calls these claims “deplorable and unfounded” and is asking to move out of his home with his spouse and custodian, Amy Howe.
Prosecutors, not mincing words, say he “has not yet accepted reality” that “he is a criminal destined for prison.”
Goldstein’s legal team continues to push for a new trial, arguing the jury convicted on insufficient evidence.
