Michael Goldsticker was quoted in Law360's analysis of the top criminal and civil trials in North Carolina during 2024.

Michael noted that while "run-of-the-mill tax evasion is much easier to detect," more complex schemes like this tend to have "farther reaching consequences and larger loss amounts" that require substantial government resources to uncover.
