Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 19th, 2026 1:13 PM Author: Umber maniacal set hairy legs This is original xo reporting.
This guy was a bigtime PE partner at kirkland. This is his $6M upstate NY house:
It appears that the IRS seized the house based on IRS liens totaling about $10M:

Relatedly, see: https://unicourt.com/case/ny-sup1-casegcc3725dde3bac-3154908
It also appears that he's being sued by BofA over $150K in unpaid credit card debt:

|
Date: January 19th, 2026 3:36 PM Author: Umber maniacal set hairy legs I dunno, but I'd think that losing your $6M house is more than just failing to file. I'd think that if you fail to file, you'd have the chance to repay plus penalties/interest before they start seizing your house.
Simply failing to file also doesn't explain the $150K credit card debt default. |

|
Date: January 19th, 2026 5:17 PM Author: lilac abusive macaca main people My immediate thought went to Goldstein as well. I think when you get to those levels of making money, the only way to scratch the itch is to try to get to the "next level" of wealth. Even biglaw partners are basically capped at what they can earn, so gambling ever-increasing large sums is the only real way to get to a net work in the 9 figures.
at some point you just start chasing losses and it snowballs.
maybe this is pure psychobabble bullshit but I can't imagine what else it could be. that's a shitload of money to owe based on his income. |
