The Justice Department issued the following statement.
A federal jury today in Hattiesburg, Mississippi convicted certified public accountant Carl Nicholson of conspiracy to defraud the United States, six counts of aiding in the preparation of false tax returns, and four counts of filing false tax returns, announced Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard E. Zuckerman and United States Attorney Mike Hurst for the Southern District of Mississippi.
“Today, justice prevailed, the rule of law was enforced, and a long-time tax cheat was held accountable for his crimes,” said U.S. Attorney Hurst. “I commend our prosecutors, agents, and state investigators for their tireless work in bringing this individual and others like him to justice. Today’s verdict proves that no one is beyond the reach of the long arm of the law. We will continue to work with our partners and use every resource available to root out fraud and corruption throughout our state.”
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, from 2012 to 2014, Nicholson conspired with a client to falsely classify personal expenses as business expenses and filed false tax returns on the client’s behalf. On one occasion, Nicholson directed that a $250,000 payment to one of the client’s personal trusts be classified as a business expense. Nicholson was also found guilty of filing his own false personal income tax returns for 2012 through 2015. Specifically, he falsely claimed expenses, failed to report income, and under-reported the gain on the sale of his accounting firm Nicholson & Company.
Sentencing has been scheduled for May 23, 2019. At sentencing, Nicholson faces a maximum of five years in prison for the conspiracy charge and three years for each charge of filing false tax returns and aiding in the preparation of false tax returns. He also faces supervised release and restitution.
Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Zuckerman and United States Attorney Hurst thanked special agents of Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation and investigators with the Mississippi Auditor’s Office, who investigated the case, and Assistant United States Attorney Jay Golden and Trial Attorney Kim Shartar, who are prosecuting the case.
Additional information about the Tax Division and its enforcement efforts may be found on the division’s website.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Another domino falls.
Carl Nickolson was State College Board President. Testimony during the trial was that he received more than $2000.0 per month without having to perform any services, and he failed to report it as income. Also misused business credit card.
Jury only out about 2 hours for 4.5 day trial before guilty verdict. Nicholson was loaded up like a big hog, and taken shacked from Courthouse to Stone County. Charles Bolton convicted in 2017 secretly recorded Nicholson incriminating himself.
For the full story, their is video recorded live of exerts of the trial, the guilty verdict, and the transport of the convicted CPA tax cheater @ Hattiesburg Patriot Media Facebook page.
When a CPA with about 50 years experience commits tax fraud on his personal tax return and knowingly files a false return for a client, You expect for his sentenanced to be enhanced.
“Fraud is the daughter of greed.”
Jeffery, meet Waffle House. Fry cook needed.
Was Nicholson involved in the "Cream Scheme" out of Hattiesburg, or handling tax returns for any of the principals in that scheme?
That $2000 a month as College Board President is pennies in relation to the size of the slush fund that the educational industrial complex consists of. All the "boards", IHL, etc. get hundreds of millions from the state to play with, and then hundreds of millions more in federal financial aid to compliment the slush fund, and what have you got? - an environment rife with knowingly deliberate fraud and malfeasance. Community college presidents asking for an Escalade to be purchased for them from endowment funds, and bullying their board of trustees to double their salary and change the minutes to not show why/when, school enrollment and attendance numbers grossly inflated to supplement their schemes....Lamar Adams, BD, and BS are pikers compared to the college/university system. Anybody wanna know why there's no infrastructure money for roads and bridges? It's been blown all in the name of "higher education".....but nobody will say a word, because they're all in on the scam. If Hurst and White really care, we'll be hearing about their deep investigations into every tentacle of education including K-12 and lining up staff/faculty by the thousands to interview what they know.
The $2,000.00 per month was payment to Nicholson from Forrest General Hospital to be involved somehow with employee retirement funds.
It is not associated with Nicholson’s IHL board of trustees appointment; however, a close examination of things done by IHL during his tenure, especially while he was board president, might be interesting in light of his current situation.
While on the subject of Forrest General, the Forrest County Board of Supervisors appoints the hospital trustees. One of the county supervisors is Rod Woullard. His brother, Reg Woullard, was appointed a hospital trustee. How this is not a conflict of interest is baffling.
Let's not overlook the question that's begging: WHO appointed him to the State College Board? Answer please.
Gotta love these self-serving, patriotic-themed announcements with America The Beautiful playing in the background. Truth, Justice and The American Way. Able To Leap Tall Buildings...
ONE OF FORMER STATE AUDITOR STACEY PICKERING’S BIG BUDDIES!! THANK YOU SHAD WHITE!!!
@10:07 Exactly. It seems a great deal of Mississippi government would meet RICO precedents all over the place.
Who appointed him!! Finger which Governor!
He was appointed to the IHL board by Kirk Fordice.
Damn 8:06. Smoke a joint and calm down....black helicopters everywhere.
In K-12 schools, each class is worth about 275K per year. 75K to teacher expense and they cry about can not afford crayons and Kleenex.
Where do this money run off to?
10:47, thanks for playing, but no prize. Tax fraud has nothing to do with the State Auditor's office, either when Pickering was there or under Shad White's tenure. Enjoyed having you on the game, but next time at least get an idea what you are commenting about before turning your fingers loose on anything other than yourself.
Nicholson struggled getting out of transport van into Courthouse entrance, and he definitely walked funny.
