"Luther Davis, a Crimson Tide defensive lineman, faces felony counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to court documents filed last month by the U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Georgia."
"Prosecutors in the court filings said the NFL players were not involved in the alleged scheme, which involved creating fake companies and fraudulent email accounts to fool lenders."
"Davis attended virtual loan-closing meetings wearing wigs, makeup and/or a head covering to disguise himself as players seeking loans, according to court documents."
Luther Davis, a member of Alabama's 2009 national championship team, is accused of impersonating NFL players to fraudulently secure nearly $20 million in loans. He and co-conspirator CJ Evins allegedly created fake companies and used fraudulent identities to deceive lenders. Davis attended virtual loan closings disguised as the players, utilizing wigs and makeup. Both men initially pleaded not guilty but are expected to change their pleas to guilty on April 27. The NFL players involved were not part of the scheme.
