Reality star Apollo Nida sentenced to 8years in prison for bank fraud, ID theft

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Apollo Nida has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison for cashing stolen checks, laundering more than $2.3 million through phony bank accounts and ID theft.

TMZ reports;

Apollo Nida just got an enormous break for singing like a canary ... he got 1/4 the maximum sentence for a massive money fraud scheme.
Nida, who appears on "Real Housewives of Atlanta" with wife Phaedra Parks -- was just sentenced to 8 years in federal prison for cashing stolen checks and laundering more than $2.3 million through phony bank accounts.
The judge who sentenced him today in a Georgia court said Nida did indeed cooperate with federal investigators by spilling criminal secrets ... and that's why he got leniency.  
Nida could have been sentenced to 30 years, so 8 years is a big victory. 
His wife Phaedra is said not to be involved in the four-year scheme which he pled guilty to

    Stealing to maintain a high life style! Apparently the life of the rich and famous ain't for everybody and needs to be maintained.

      Bigger olodo! If you went to good secondary school you would have been taught the British and American spellings. I'm sure Linda just copied and pasted and since it's an American story it was "checks" and not cheques as the British would spell. Don't be too quick to try to prove you're smart because u ain't!

    and he will be out in four no be day and night dem take count individually poor Phaedra tho that's what you get for polishing up and marrying an ex con with no visible means of earning a living. Now if the ex con had polished himself up and was earning a decent honest living I would have felt sorry for you but no girl you knew what you were getting yourself into I just hope he doesn't make you lose clients madam lawyer.

    I am sure the couple are victims of Internet fraud. Fraudsters lure their victims to cash stolen checks which are unknown to the victims and wire the proceeds into several accounts around the world. Sorry my beloved country. May God have mercy on you. @amfestus
