Nida’s fraud scheme harmed more than 50 victims, the U.S. Attorney’s office said in a statement.
“Today’s sentencing exemplifies impartial justice regardless of economic class or perceived celebrity status,” said Reginald G. Moore, special agent in charge of the United States Secret Service, Atlanta Field Office. “Nida’s sentence should be an eye opener for other like-minded criminals who scheme to steal victims’ identities, defraud them and ignore the consequences of their actions.”
U.S. District Court Judge Charles A. Pannell, Jr. also ordered Nida to pay restitution to the victims of his offenses. A separate hearing to calculate the restitution amount is scheduled for July 17.
