Jason Pick Guilty of $64K Wire Fraud

New Orleans, Louisiana – Jason Pick, a 44-year-old local, faced the music in federal court as he pleaded guilty on September 3, 2025, to an eight-count indictment for wire fraud. The grim revelation came from Acting United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson.

Pick’s crime spree spanned nearly two years, from June 2020 through October 25, 2021. As an accounting clerk for a New Orleans-based real estate management firm, he donned his white-collar guise to siphon off approximately $64,137.00 by altering money orders intended as rent payments and depositing them into his own account.

But that wasn’t the end of Pick’s deceitful dance with justice. While awaiting sentencing for defrauding a previous employer, he submitted a fraudulent letter to a federal judge, falsely claiming it was from his current employer, to delay his prison report date. The company’s owner had no idea about this letter or Pick’s misdeeds. Nevertheless, the court fell for Pick’s ruse and granted him a delay.

Before reporting to serve his sentence, Pick doubled down on his lies, telling his current employer he needed emergency kidney surgery, allowing him to continue work remotely. But his web of deceit didn’t end there. While en route to prison, he logged into the company’s computer system from afar and doctored the accounting books to hide his tracks.

Pick’s audacity comes with heavy consequences if convicted; up to 20 years behind bars, a fine that could reach $250,000, three years of supervised release, and a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.00. This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service, with Assistant United States Attorney G. Dall Kammer leading the prosecution.

As this white-collar criminal faces the music, it serves as a stark reminder that even amidst the guise of finance and real estate, corruption can thrive. Pick’s conviction is a victory for justice in the Big Easy.
