Thomas Frazier, CPA, Mesa, AZ, aka, Frazier, Spoon & Company PLLC, and aka, Arthur Spoon and Company, Phoenix, AZ, conspired to falsify tax filings on behalf of his client, Nick D'Arcangelo in an effort to financially enrich Mr. D Arcangelo and damage Mr. Darcangelo's former partner. Evidence reveals admissions on the part of Thomas K. Frazier CPA, of intentionally falsifying and manipulating the tax returns of football coach and physical education teacher Nick Darcangelo. The evidence further reveals Mr. Darcangelo as having full knowledge and providing authorization to the fraudulent tax filings which generated inflated monetary enrichments for Mr. D'Arcangelo while substantially damaging his partner. Furthermore, Tom Frazier intentionally failed to declare cash earnings paid to Mr. D'Arcangelo by football official Shannon Eastin for football referee work performed by Mr. Darcangelo on behalf of Eastin's business enterprise when Thomas Frazier prepared and electronically filed Mr. Darcangelo's tax returns. Ms. Eastin deferred Mr. D'Arcangelo's questions to Mr. Frazier regarding the failure to issue the Form 1099 yet he willfully failed to amend the falsified tax returns to include cash earnings paid to Mr. D'Arcangelo thereby furthering financial enrichment. Testimony and evidence reveals Frazier as having an association with Eastin and her business enterprise however the scope of his enmeshment is unclear and subject to inspection. Charges pertaining to the actions and conduct as defined above are currently under investigation. Disciplinary actions as determined to be posted for public review to the AZ State Board of Accountancy Web site.

Mr. Nick D’arcangelo taught seventh grade classes at our daughter's private school for one year and left after the second semester in May of 2012. I felt uncomfortable with some things told to us by our daughter and after meeting with Mr. D arcangelo felt even more uneasy. His remarks that he's 'everybody’s grandpa’ and my daughter can talk to him about anything when he characterized his teaching style put my husband and me on edge.

Even after Mr. D’arcangelo left my daughter’s school she’s received text threads revealing inappropriate conversations between Mr. D'arcangelo and a junior high classmate. There’s a blog with videos, photos, letters, and poems to and from Mr. Darcangelo and my daughter’s classmates expressing their love and personal feelings for each other.

Parents, never second guess your gut instincts about your child's school and teachers. Make it your job to know who your child is spending time with in the classroom.

What have school administrators done about this teacher if anything? In New York, predators and teachers lacking moral character are not permitted to float from one school to the next.

If you're not in New York I'd think your state has similar processes and requirements for school administrators. The Office of School Personnel Review and Accountability (OSPRA) investigates allegations concerning the moral character of individuals who hold or who are applicants for New York State teaching certificates. Under law, School District Superintendents must file a report with the Department upon knowledge that a certificate holder has committed an act that raises a reasonable question about the individual's moral character.

Complaints against certificate holders including teachers, administrators and school service workers, e.g., school counselors, should, in most cases, be filed with the Department only after the matter has been reported and addressed for remedial action by the appropriate authorities at the local level, including school building principals, superintendents of schools and State and/or local police. Any person who knows that a certificate holder or an applicant for a teaching certificate has been convicted of a crime, or has committed an act which raises a reasonable question as to the individual's moral character, may file a written complaint with the Department.
