Ely Goldin was quoted in the ABA Journal article "Prosecutors Target BMW Buyers Seeking to Profit from Resales to China." While the full text can be found in the December 3, 2013, issue of ABA Journal, a synopsis is noted below.

Ely Goldin, who represents someone whose cars were seized, says the government is involving itself in a matter that is, at most, a contract dispute between the car dealers and the exporters. "Why should a buyer of a car be prohibited from exporting a car after he paid top dollar for it?" said Goldin. "It's called capitalism."
