New Orleans, Louisiana – Jason Pick (“PICK”), a 44-year-old resident of Orleans Parish, has entered a guilty plea on September 3, 2025, to an eight-count indictment for wire fraud. Acting United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced the charges.
According to court documents, from June 2020 through October 25, 2021, PICK worked as an accounting clerk for a company managing residential and commercial real estate in New Orleans. During his employment, he stole approximately $64,137.00 by altering money orders intended as rent payments and depositing them into his own account.
PICK faced sentencing for a prior scheme to defraud a previous employer when he submitted a fraudulent letter from the company to a federal judge, falsely claiming it was a busy period. The letter was forged, and the company owner remained unaware of PICK’s crimes. This tactic allowed PICK to delay his prison report date.
Before reporting for his sentence, PICK lied about needing emergency kidney surgery, assuring the company he could work remotely. During this time, he remotely accessed the company’s computer system and fraudulently edited accounting books to hide his theft.
If convicted, PICK faces up to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, three years of supervised release, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.
The case was investigated by the United States Secret Service. Assistant United States Attorney G. Dall Kammer is leading the prosecution.
