Apollo Nida Sentenced To 8 Years For Bank Fraud

It looks like RHOA star Apollo Nida will definitely be sitting behind bars for his role in a bank fraud operation where he is accused of cashing stolen checks and laundering more than $2.3 mil through phony bank accounts. 

Nida. who was originally facing a max of 30 years, got his sentence cut down to just 8 after a judge said that the reality star did indeed “cooperate”. 

“The government did what they had to do,” Nida said before entering the elevator the downtown federal courthouse. When asked if he was unhappy about the sentence, he said, “Whatever the judge gave.”

“Today’s sentencing exemplifies impartial justice regardless of economic class or perceived celebrity status.  Nida’s sentence should be an eye opener for other like-minded criminals who scheme to steal victims’ identities, defraud them and ignore the consequences of their actions,” said Reginald G. Moore, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service, Atlanta Field Office, in a press release.
