Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks
Atlanta, Georgia is a beautiful place. The homes are
large and affordable, the landscaping is lovely and the stores
plenty, making it easy for many to live like rock stars. However,
among a certain set of famous people in Atlanta, things get very
competitive, with some trying to outdo others in living a luxury
lifestyle.
This is the case of "Real Housewives Of Atlanta"
reality stars, but some have taken it too far, as in illegal
territory. Many of the stars on the show are not rolling in money,
as they would have you think. They're not broke, but they aren't
rich either. However, one of the richest stars on the show made his
money through criminal activity he kept quiet.
Apollo Nida, the husband of co-star, Phaedra Parks,
grew tired of his lawyer girlfriend-turned-wife making more money
than he does and embarked on an elaborate scheme to illegally make
money. Nida opened 40 bank accounts via identity theft and stole
over $3,000,000 in checks and fake auto loans.

It's is now being stated other members of the cast
could be implicated in the scandal, among them Parks, but the
reports in this regard have not been confirmed. Previously Parks was
implicated in Nida's criminal activity that sent him to prison for
5-years as apart of an auto theft ring. Angela Stanton wrote a book
labeling Parks the mastermind behind the auto theft ring Nida went
to prison for.
If Parks is involved in the criminal activity her
husband has been nabbed in twice, this would be sad. Why go to
university for 7-years to become a lawyer, gain the capability to
earn a large income, then fall into a life of crime. That would be
such a waste of a legal mind and years of hard work.
One thing is for sure, Bravo will capitalize on the
scandal, which will pull in ratings as people seek to get the inside
scoop on the legal issues engulfing cast members. The public wants
to know what happened in this case, but answers are not forthcoming
from Parks, Nida or the rest of the cast.
