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.'

Apollo was allegedly named by the original target of the investigation, a woman identified as Gayla St. Julien, who was arrested in September last year and allegedly had $3 million in multiple bank accounts tied to her.

 

'St. Julien ''described herself as Nida’s right hand b**** in executing the legwork of his fraud schemes.'

She allegedly told an investigator she received 'scraps' compared to what Apollo was earning.

 

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

Now we all know Apollo spent time in prison from 04 to 09 for auto title fraud, so the fact that the site also stated that he opened a fake auto dealership and applied for auto loans in the names of stolen identities is no surprise.
Apollo is currently on a $25,000 bond and will face a preliminary hearing February 12, we all know he got his lawyer on deck.

Phaedra Parks issued this statement about her husband Apollo Nida’s criminal past:

 

 

As Malcolm X so eloquently put it: “Stumbling is not falling.” Yes, my husband is a convicted non-violent offender but I did not marry him because of his past, I married him because I love him. I married him because I am a Christian and I know that a person’s past does not dictate his or her future. Be you a Christian, ordinary citizen or just identify yourself as an American – this country and the justice system, however flawed it may be, was built on the power of redemption.

Charles Dutton was a convicted violent offender before he was the beloved actor, playwright and director we know him as now. Don King, Michael Vick and even Martha Stewart are convicted felons who served time and still make a difference. Prison did not stop Malcolm X, it enlightened him and gave him the perseverance to fight for others.

I believe in my husband, I trust my husband, I love my husband, and I know he loves and adores me. That is a blessing, and each day I am filled with an even stronger sense of gratitude for it.
