Federal officials say a certified public accountant from New Mexico has admitted to making fake documents using U.S. Department of Treasury names and symbols.
Prosecutors said Monday that 64-year-old James Vaughn of Albuquerque pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for the offense.
Vaughn is expected to be sentenced to one year of probation.
Prosecutors say Vaughn in 2013 provided a fake document to a client, who asked him for proof that he had resolved a federal tax lien.
Rather than resolving the lien, prosecutors say Vaughn provided the client with fake treasury documents.
