Former Alabama Football Star Faces Charges for Impersonating NFL Players in $20 Million Loan Scam
Luther Davis, a former University of Alabama football player, is set to plead guilty to charges related to a scheme in which he allegedly impersonated NFL players to secure fraudulent loans totaling nearly $20 million. According to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, Davis, along with his partner CJ Evins, orchestrated the scam by creating fake companies and using forged documents to impersonate professional athletes. The scheme involved obtaining at least thirteen fraudulent loans by using the identities of NFL players such as David Njoku, Xavier McKinney, and Michael Penix Jr. Davis reportedly attended virtual loan closings in disguise, using fake identification documents to convince notaries. Both Davis and Evins have been charged with aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, with a plea hearing scheduled for April 27.
