Episode Details

Former University of Alabama defensive tackle Luther Davis and his partner CJ Evins pulled off a daring scam, impersonating NFL players to secure nearly twenty million dollars in fake loans. Using makeup, wigs, and head coverings, they tricked lenders on video calls, starting with a four million dollar deal earlier this year. They hit up at least thirteen loans, using phony drivers licenses with photos swiped from online images of the players. Davis, who played on the Crimson Tides national championship team in 2010, now faces charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Both have pleaded not guilty, but are expected to change their pleas to guilty on April twenty-seventh. The case highlights the lengths people will go for quick money and will be closely watched in federal court.
