Former College Football Champion Accused in $20 Million Fraud Scheme
Luther Davis, a former college football champion, has been accused of orchestrating a complex fraud scheme involving impersonation and identity theft. According to a federal filing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Georgia, Davis allegedly used wigs, makeup, and fake IDs to impersonate three NFL players, identified only by their initials, to secure nearly $20 million in loans. The scheme reportedly took place between May 2023 and October 2024. Davis, along with co-conspirator CJ Evins, allegedly deceived lenders into believing they were dealing directly with the athletes. The duo is accused of using fake IDs and falsified financial documents, including player photos sourced from the internet, to secure at least 13 loans. The funds were allegedly funneled through sham businesses before being used for personal purchases such as real estate, vehicles, and jewelry.
