A grand jury in the District of Massachusetts indicted Francisco E. Paulino of Lawrence and Methuen, owner of Madison Tax, LLC and Madison Mortgage, Inc., under seal on August 25, 2026 (No. 1:26-cr-10231) on eight counts of wire fraud (18 U.S.C. §§ 1343, 2) and three counts of unlawful monetary transactions (18 U.S.C. § 1957), with forfeiture allegations. The indictment alleges that from about April 2020 through December 2021 he filed a pandemic unemployment assistance claim in the name of a relative aged about 77, on which the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance paid $44,160, approximately $39,330 of it into his own Citizens Bank account, and that on June 20, 2020 he applied for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan for Jackson Enterprise claiming $426,755 in gross revenues for the twelve months ending January 31, 2020, after which the SBA approved a $136,700 loan and approximately $136,600 was deposited on July 20, 2020. The criminal case cover sheet (Document 1-1) lists IRS-CI, the FBI and DOL-OIG as investigating agencies. These are charges, not findings. The indictment and cover sheet are the only filings on the docket.
