It's been about 5 years (2004-2009) since Apollo Nida, Phaedra Park's husband was released from jail for auto title fraud and looks like he's back at it again...not with vehicles though...he was arrested again, this time on charges of bank fraud and identity theft.
Damn Apollo....his is a classic example of the definition of "you can take a girl out of the ghetto, but not the ghetto out of the girl!"
According to Access Atlanta, Apollo was investigated by the Secret Service's Counterfeit and U.S. Treasury Check Squad. Apollo allegedly, 'created fake companies, enabling him to access databases to find individuals to rip off'. He opened fake bank accounts under those real names and funneled stolen U.S. Treasury checks and auto loan proceeds into those accounts.'
So just how did Apollo get caught? He was allegedly named by the original target of the investigation, a woman identified as Gayla St. Julien, who was arrested in September last year and allegedly had $3 million in multiple bank accounts tied to her.
According Access Atlanta: 'St. Julien ''described herself as Nida’s right hand b**** in executing the legwork of his fraud schemes. She allegedly told an investigator she received 'scraps' compared to what Apollo was earning.
According to the site: Nida would allegedly steal real people’s identities and have St. Julien pretend to be them to open bank accounts. She would then deposit fraudulent auto loan checks, stolen U.S. Treasury checks, stolen retirement checks issued to Delta Airlines employees, and checks in the names of real people that were owed unclaimed property from various state and federal government agencies.'
The
site also said the complaint against the star claimed he opened a fake
auto dealership and applied for auto loans in the names of stolen
identities.
Apollo is currently on a $25,000 bond and will face a preliminary hearing February 12.
