Former Alabama Football Player Accused of Impersonating NFL Players in $20 Million Fraud Scheme
Luther Davis, a former defensive tackle for the University of Alabama, is facing serious charges after allegedly using disguises to impersonate NFL players and secure fraudulent loans totaling nearly $20 million. According to federal prosecutors, Davis, along with co-conspirator CJ Evins, used wigs, makeup, and fake driver's licenses to assume the identities of NFL players during video calls. The scheme involved at least 13 fraudulent loans, which were used to purchase real estate, jewelry, and cars. The criminal complaint, filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta, details how Davis and Evins executed the fraud without the authorization of the NFL players involved. Both Davis and Evins have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft but are scheduled to enter guilty pleas on April 27.
