REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHADERA PARKS HUSBAND APOLLO NIDA ARRESTED FOR BANK FRAUD

Once again it proves, once a criminal always a criminal. This is a cautionary tale ladies when you date a convicted felon you most likely will pick up his rap sheet.  Forget the drama on the small screen, behind the scenes the Real Housewives Of Atlanta is even more dramatic.

On Thursday, star Phaedra Parks’ husband, Apollo Nida father of two, was reportedly questioned by US Marshals in Atlanta, Georgia and charged with bank fraud and identity theft. Apollo - who often appears on his wife's reality show - appeared before US District Court on Thursday in downtown Atlanta. The U.S. District Judge Gerrilyn G. Brill released Nida on a pretrial bond of $25,000. A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 12, 2014.

If you recall, Nida served time in federal prison for altering VIN numbers on vehicles and other sundry criminal activities. His wife, Phaedra, represented him in that case. 

This is significant because he is currently on state parole in Georgia, and due to the seriousness of his crime the charges usually trigger a state parole violation unless he is cooperating with the government. According to Access Atlanta, Apollo was investigated by the Secret Service's Counterfeit and U.S. Treasury Check Squad.

According to the site - who apparently obtained the complaint against the reality star - 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.'

Nida would allegedly steal real people’s identities and have his partner 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. 

 Is the government planning to prosecute his wife, Phaedra, as well? How much did Phaedra really know? Remember what that book author Angela Stanton said about her?  Is Kendra Moore right shady Pha Pha?
