My guess would be, that he did something in Starfleet Academy that lead to someone dead. But to keep it on the down low they made a cover up story.

All I'm saying is that we never see Nick and Tom in the sane room
The Mysterio bros?
I always assumed it had more to do with him smuggling goods into federation colonies or some such. He's a very good pilot because he knows how to slip between the cracks of sensor fields and how to use unconventional maneuvers to throw off anyone chasing him. Sounds like the behaviour of a smuggler to me.
Also, I'm pretty sure the pitch for Tom Paris was basically "Han Solo but Star Trek".
Wasnt it obviously Maquis related? I imagine smuggling people(Bajorans) out of Cardassia territories or smuggling weapons to Maquis supporters
