Wire fraud conspiracy is a federal offense.
It s all crashing down for 34-year-old Apollon Apollo Nimo, 34, previously one of Fiat Chrysler Automobile s best salespeople in the country. Now he s being charged with wire fraud and conspiracy by federal prosecutors for involvement in an $8.7 million scam that targeted the automaker.
The Detroit News reports Nimo, a resident of Michigan and previously employed at Parkway Dodge Chrysler Jeep, was arrested last Friday and is now facing up to 20 years in federal prison. He s accused of orchestrating an extensive black market that included brokers who peddled FCA employee discount numbers to salespeople who then connected with potential buyers in private Facebook groups.
