SCOTUSblog Co-Founder Headed To Prison

Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!

Supreme Court attorney and co-founder of SCOTUSblog Tom Goldstein was convicted on tax and mortgage fraud charges, stemming from allegations he participated in high-stakes poker games and failed to disclose his winnings (in tax filings) and losings (in loan applications). Today, he was sentenced to how many years in prison?

Hint: While it was less than the eight year prosecutors sought, it is also more time in jail than Goldstein says he was offered during plea negotiations. That’s in addition to the $3.1 million in restitution he was ordered to pay. He’ll also be on supervised release for five years after his prison term.

See the answer on the next page.
