Criminal Charges: In January 2014, federal investigators accused Apollo Nida of using fake companies and bank accounts to illegally obtain credit reports about individuals. An alleged co-conspirator then used the credit reports to obtain fraudulent loans. He allegedly assumed the identities of 10 women this way to obtain false auto loans. Nida was also accused of paying a US Postal worker to steal retirement checks sent to Delta Employees from the mail and checks that were issued to people who were owed money from various state and government agencies. In total, Apollo Nida was accused of fraudulently obtaining $3 million worth of false loans and stolen checks. For this crime, he could have faced a 30-year sentence. He was sentenced to 8 years and began serving his term in 2014.
