==Lawsuit==
{| class="wikitable"

Goldfinger, along with [[CBS]] and CSI's producers, were sued for [[defamation]] and [[Privacy law|invasion of privacy]] by a Los Angeles couple who alleged that two characters from the 9th season episode Deep Fried and Minty Fresh were based on them.
!Year

!Title
The couple, Melinda & Scott Tamkin, were the realtors representing the owners of a house Goldfinger had been looking to buy. While the deal was never consummated, there were no apparent hard feelings on either side.
!Executive

Producer
However, the lawsuit alleges that not only did the characters from the episode share the first names of the couple, but that an early draft stated the last name of the characters as being Tamkin as well. Furthermore, the lawsuit claims Goldfinger assisted in casting actors who bore a resemblance to the Tamkins.<ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090523/ap_on_en_tv/us_csi_lawsuit ]{{dead link|date=February 2012}}</ref>
