For those of you who have (or have not) been following Apollo’s fraud accusations our good friend @QueTheCreator decided to break it down for us using factual information obtained in court documents and from episodes of Real Housewives of Atlanta. There is a LOT going on and I’m glad he took the time to update us on the drama. Read below!
Before we begin, we have to lay out what’s at stake for Apollo. I hate to connect the past with the present, but I know that the majority of US Americans watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta will. We are all observing Apollo-gate as committed viewers of Bravo’s king franchise simply fascinated with the ways in which celebrities deal with their sins and drama. Apollo has a criminal history, and it’s not like we don’t know it. Under these circumstances, his history as a convicted felon is relevant, at minimum, because of how the court will punish him if found guilty. This also has meaningful consequences in terms of how the outcome of this trial will affect national perceptions of black men with unpolished backgrounds. Four million people watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta. I’m not going to preach. I’ll leave that fact right there and let you connect the dots. A few things to know about Apollo’s past convictions are that he was charged with racketeering related to auto title fraud and served five years for it. The ways in which St. Julien described executing the whole fraud scheme are similar to Angela Stanton’s (Google her.) narrative about her past dealings with Apollo. The system is creative but was easily traced.
With all this said, the manila colored negro knew his time was better spent on more productive activities like helping Hosea Williams feed the homeless in Atlanta. He’s a convicted felon. The court system recognizes this, and that’s just how life works. People find patterns in your behavior, and your sentencing is only a measurement of your behavior. Don’t blame this one on the jail system or Kenya Moore (at least not this time), Apollo.
After a 19-month investigation on behalf of the secret services, the feds had acquired enough information on Gayla St. Julien to arrest and bring her in for questioning. The bitch sang like a canary and snitched on Apollo as the mastermind behind this trifling and covert theft scheme. The feds had been following her for over a year, watching her use stolen identities to create fraudulent bank accounts. When they arrested her, they rummaged through her trash to collect more material evidence pointer her to the alleged crimes in the criminal report. Another relevant chunk of evidence in this case is that this information has been visually and audibly recorded. We’re talking about the secret services now. These people don’t have time to waste. They get to the bottom of shit and will pull out video footage to get you to confess in a split second.
On January 23rd 2014, Apollo was arrested on alleged charges of bank account fraud as an accomplice to St. Julien with millions of dollars floating in their system. Three days later, the Atlanta Journal Constitution posted an article about the shit, so we all know it’s real. These are real charges. These are real people. I can’t.
Apollo has been featured in the series for four seasons of the show. He has been shown to take physical exercise and personal health seriously. He and his wife were on Amazon’s Best Seller list three times, beating out Kenya Moore’s Stallion Booty sex tape in numerical sales. That’s one check. His muscular frame and chiseled pectoral muscles bulge through shirts in most his confessional. So, I know he gets paid for club appearances and strip club appearances. If not, he’s hustling backwards. That’s another check (or a missed check).
His light, yellow complexion contrasts and complements his wife’s milky brown skin. A felon married to an achieved woman, a highly decorated lawyer, and collecting paychecks from Bravo from four years’ worth of appearances on Housewives, Apollo was blessed, at least in the eyes of the Christian and Southern Belle community in Athens, Georgia. But all that blessed bullsh—t flew out the window when reports of him being involved in a chain of fraudulent schemes in which $3 million was stolen through identity theft and bank fraud surfaced three days after his arrest.
Let’s pause for a second and think about these charges before we move forward. Apollo Nida is charged with a crime that’s kinda wack, common, and easily identified. Identity theft is breaking a moral code, and it’s not something worth going to to jail for. It’s stupid. Think back to 2004 with the Martha Stewart stuff; this isn’t a move that’s like Martha, who went down for conspiracy. Conspiracy just sounds like something that’s more intelligent and difficult to successfully execute. Come on Apollo. Really man? Lauryn Hill was in jail for not paying her taxes, which makes sense from a Dubois/Marxian standpoint. Check out her essay on how social and economic racism and anti-black prejudice is perpetuated in the present day. I digress. The AJC article details how Apollo and his right hand bitch (her words, not mine), Gayla St. Julien, were able to steal all this money not just from regular people but also the US Treasury. They allegedly stole from the federal government. The. Federal. Government. Not your home girl on Instagram selling ombre dresses. She’s still trying to reconfigure her Gmail account so she can track your order. And we ain’t talking about your homeboy using his income taxes to take out lightskins and redbones on two hundred dollar dates, either.
Why did this woman snitch? Well, the secret services pulled up to her house dressed like the Men in Black to snatch her ass up out the paint—with the quickness. Now, when I consider normal criminal investigations, police officers, not the secret services, will show up to your house. You, then, recite Jay-Z’s infamous line “You gone need a warrant for that.” Well, the secret services is more intelligent and intimidating in their approach. Honest to God, I don’t think she was prepared for men in suits to show up at her house and whisk her away in a limousine. Personally, I know that I’m more afraid of men in suits and suitcases showing up to my place than any ol’ regular police officer.
St. Julien appears to be a regular woman in her mid-thirties living in Atlanta that still wears colored contacts and lives on government assistance. She had microbraids in her mugshots, and she’s participating in an identity theft ring with a man whose wife wears mullets to quaint French bistros dinners Atlanta upper society.
These are serious charges against Apollo. Think about it: it’s illegal for him to even drink alcohol. No more getting filthy off that liquor. These people have hard-to-refute evidence against you, man. They put on their Sunday’s best to snag this woman up from her home just six months after identifying her through an EBT food stamp transaction made at a Kroger grocery store in Atlanta, GA. But that leaves the question of what happened to Apollo and how is he directly connected with the crimes against him?
