A Maryland federal judge ordered the rearrest of prominent Supreme Court attorney Thomas Goldstein on Monday, following an earlier release on bail.

Goldstein, who faces a criminal tax evasion case for “concealing millions of dollars in cryptocurrency transactions from the IRS,” had been involved in “misconduct” that spanned “more than half a decade,” the case file reads.

Federal prosecutors later claimed that he showed “urgent risk of flight,” given his connections to “wealthy individuals.” The prosecutors urged Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Sullivan to revoke Goldstein’s bail, citing violations of pretrial release terms.

Prosecutors alleged that Goldstein failed to disclose that he controls two “unhosted” crypto wallets, one abroad and another based in the U.S.

Goldstein allegedly did “approximately 200 transactions” in 2021, with the total transaction volume amounting to over $8 million at the time, the indictment reads.
