The husband of a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star was sentenced to 8 years in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release after pleading guilty to mail, wire and bank fraud charges.
Federal prosecutors accused Apollo Nida, husband of Phaedra Parks, of participating in a four-year scheme that cost more than 50 victims $2.3 million.
U.S. District Court Judge Charles A. Pannell, Jr. also ordered Nida to pay restitution to the victims of his offenses, and scheduled a separate hearing to take place on July 17 to calculate the restitution amount.
Nida pleaded guilty to the charges on May 6. He remains out on bond until he is ordered to report to prison to serve his sentence.
