In 2011, she published a first book The Asylum: The Renegades Who Hijacked the World's Oil Market, about the global oil trading market.[6]

In 2012, UK politician John Hemming tabled an early day motion regarding the withdrawal of McGrath Goodman's UK visa, because she had been prevented from entering the UK after declaring her intentions to investigate allegations of a cover-up regarding the Jersey child abuse investigation, despite having a clean immigration and travel record.[7] In an interview with RT News, McGrath Goodman states that she is confused as to why she was not allowed entry into the UK and was therefore unable to catch a connecting flight into Jersey. In 2013, Goodman's ban was lifted and a new visa granted after a campaign by British politicians and journalists.

In a March 2014 Newsweek magazine article, Goodman published what she asserted to be the identity and location of Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin.[9] Writing in Forbes magazine, Andy Greenberg wrote that "Criticism of Newsweek’s article, which describes a silent standoff as reporter Leah McGrath Goodman’s stood at the end of Nakamoto’s driveway and was questioned by police, focused in particular on Goodman’s decision to name Nakamoto’s family members and to publish a picture of his house."[10]
