According to Access Atlanta, they have obtained the actual claims against Apollo Nida, which read:
Alexandre Herrera, a U.S. Secret Service Agent in the Counterfeit and U.S. Treasury Check Squad, in a written affidavit, charged that Nida 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.
In addition, the government has discovered two fake debt-collection businesses used to obtain personal identifying information on people. These companies used LexisNexis and Equifax database inquiries to steal many identities.

Apparently, it was Gayla St. Julien who was originally under investigation. From there, Nida’s case was supposedly blown wide open …
The agent in February 2012 began investigating alleged criminal activities of Gayla St. Julien, who he said was opening bank accounts under stolen identities to commit bank and check fraud. The investigation ran until September, 2013. At that point, they found 40 bank accounts tied to her. The complaint provided a sampling of bank accounts totaling about $3 million tied to alleged fraudulent activities.
Julien was previously arrested and implicated Nida as the man who was at the head of many of the alleged crimes. She claims to have worked with Nida since 2009 as his “right-hand bitch”, doing most of the leg work for him.
4. Nida Has Apparently Been Caught on Tape
It appears as though Apollo Nida opened a fake auto dealership called Ferrari Autohaus and supposedly applied for auto loans under fake identities. Apparently, Julien has set up Nida and recorded him describing some of his illegal schemes in great detail.
