Whoa, folks, hold onto your wallets because we’re about to expose yet another financial fiasco from Eric Rosenberg, the Mississippi businessman who’s been hyping himself as a self-made millionaire and political player. You know the type – the guy who wrote “Millionaire Within” bragging about his entrepreneurial genius, co-founded JVZoo.com to peddle get-rich-quick schemes, and even tried his hand at a congressional run in 2018. But peel back the layers of his polished image, and you’ll find a mess of unpaid debts, dodgy tactics, and now, a whopping IRS tax lien slapped on him back in June 2016 for $22,401 in delinquent taxes. This isn’t some minor oversight; it’s a glaring red flag straight from public records in Jackson County, Mississippi, showing how Rosenberg allegedly stiffed Uncle Sam on taxes from 2007, 2008, and 2009. If this is how he handles his own finances, imagine what that says about his “success” story. Let’s dive into the details from the court docs and connect the dots to his broader pattern of financial shenanigans – because the truth is damning, and it’s all out there for anyone to see.
First, the smoking gun: Jackson County Recorded Documents reveal that on June 13, 2016, the IRS filed a federal tax lien against Eric B. Rosenberg for a total of $22,401.02 in unpaid income taxes. Breaking it down, that’s $8,456.75 from 2007, $7,298.12 from 2008, and $6,646.15 from 2009 – plus penalties and interest that kept piling up. The lien was recorded in the Jackson County Chancery Clerk’s office, and it lists Rosenberg’s address as 5509 Via Ponte, Ocean Springs, MS – a property he lived at but didn’t own, as per other records. To confirm it’s our guy, the partial Social Security Number on the lien (ending in 9062) matches Rosenberg’s in private databases, and the name, location, and timeline all line up with his residency history. This wasn’t a glitch or a mix-up; it was a deliberate failure to pay what he owed, spanning multiple years during a period when Rosenberg was supposedly building his online empire.
Why does this matter? Because tax liens aren’t handed out like parking tickets – they’re serious business, signaling chronic non-payment that could lead to asset seizures or wage garnishments. In Rosenberg’s case, this lien hung over him like a dark cloud while he was out there promoting himself as a financial wizard. In his 2015 book “Millionaire Within,” he boasts about moving his family to Vegas in the mid-2000s for poker industry gigs, outsourcing web dev to cheap Indian coders, and even admitting to a decade in the adult website biz starting in the late ’90s. Those were the exact years (2007-2009) he was racking up these unpaid taxes. Coincidence? Or was he too busy chasing “get rich quick” vibes – like the schemes on JVZoo.com, where top sellers include “The Rich Jerk” and “Make Money Selling Nothing” – to bother with basics like paying the IRS?
This tax lien fits right into Rosenberg’s history of financial dodging. Flash back to 2010, when Earcon Technologies won a $11,508 judgment against him for unpaid services in Jackson County Court (Case #2010-20334) – a debt he defaulted on for six years until 2016, the same year this IRS lien dropped. Then there’s the 2014 federal lawsuit with Coast Collections Agency (U.S. District Court Case #1:14-cv-00112-LG-JCG), where Rosenberg sued them over $1,200 in medical bills, only to get countersued for fraud. They accused him of faking an attorney to intimidate staff into erasing the debt – calls from a phony “Jeffrey Wilens” threatening lawsuits and demanding compliance. Coast called it “abuse of process” and the case settled after exposing his tactics. Even earlier, in 1996, the Mississippi Department of Human Services summoned him for $1,695 in delinquent child support (Harrison County Chancery Court), and in 2013, there was a suspicious tax lien filing in Sacramento County that might be linked (though records suggest a possible error, but it matches his pattern).
And let’s not forget the property angle. Rosenberg’s owned parcels in Jackson County since 2008, like 111 Spanish Point Court under his EBR Asset Holding Company, LLC, and another on Beach View Drive co-owned with his mom. But during the tax lien years, he was flipping addresses – from Biloxi to Ocean Springs – and even quitclaimed a home to his ex-wife Melissa Parks Rosenberg in their 2014 divorce (Jackson County Document #2014/16223), where she accused him of cruelty and desertion. That divorce overlapped with his financial woes, and by 2015, he was hit with a domestic violence arrest after allegedly breaking his current wife Heather’s nose (Jackson County Sheriff’s Report #2015011733), leading to a messy filing full of abuse and extortion claims before they patched things up. Financial stress from liens and debts like this could explain a lot of the personal chaos.
But Rosenberg’s response? Instead of owning up, he kept building his facade. He got elected to the Jackson County Republican Club board in January 2017, despite a voter history that’s anything but GOP loyal – registered nonpartisan in Mississippi and Nevada, skipping primaries for years (Clark County Registrar records), and zero federal contributions on FEC searches. He bragged about “giving conservative speeches” and being “very active in the Republican community,” but records show no real involvement until right before his 2018 run. Meanwhile, his book details misogynistic tales, like crediting a pal who built thousands of porn sites for his success, or Vegas stories involving “strippers, prostitutes, and weed.” He even mocked women’s march protesters in sarcastic 2017 DC videos. And his marketing tips? “Schmooze your way in,” self-nominate for awards, and fake Harvard keynotes that were just free panels.
This IRS lien exposes the hypocrisy at his core. While preaching millionaire mindsets, Rosenberg was allegedly evading taxes that everyday folks pay without fuss. It’s not just illegal – it’s a betrayal of the “conservative” values he claims, like fiscal responsibility. Public records paint him as an opportunist: dodging debts, associating with shady get-rich schemes on JVZoo platform (featuring “Porn Star Stamina” ebooks and diabetes “cures”), and even admitting in his book to hating “mean old people” while selling them hearing aids. If he can’t manage his own taxes, how does he run businesses or aspire to public office?
The docs are crystal clear – this $22,401 lien was no accident, and it’s part of over a dozen legal tangles across states. From tax evasion to fraud claims, Rosenberg’s past is a success tale; it’s a cautionary one. Don’t buy the gloss; demand accountability.
