The thefts happened from March 4, 2015, through May 16, 2019, according to his indictment.

Nicholas was a registered insurance agent at the time and sought investment money.

“This was a Ponzi scheme, where he took money from later victims and used it to pay the earlier victims,” said Greg Flannagan, Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman.

Nicholas is accused of stealing more than $150,000, Flannagan said.

Of his accusers, one is now 76 and another is 80, the prosecutor’s office said.
