BREAKING: Former Alabama National Champion DT Luther Davis allegedly impersonated Michael Penix Jr., David Njoku, and Xavier McKinney as part of a nearly $20 million fraud scheme that included him wearing disguises such as wigs and makeup during loan closings 🚨

According to a criminal information (CI) filing, Davis, along with a partner, C.J. Evins, “obtained at least thirteen fraudulent loans totaling more than $19,845,000.”

David and Evans obtained fictitious driver’s licenses and other identification documents in the players’ names, according to the filing. They would then contact loan brokers with bank statements for companies allegedly run by the players, fake personal financial statements, and Secretary of State documents.

To complete the deception, Davis frequently wore a wig and showed up at virtual loan closings dressed as the athlete he was impersonating.

◽️ A $3.3M fraudulent loan was taken out under Penix Jr.’s name
◽️ A $4.025M fraudulent loan was taken out under Njoku’s name
◽️ A $4.35M fraudulent loan was taken out under McKinney’s name

Prosecutors charged Davis with aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and he plans to plead guilty later this month.

I see people setting their babies up for ID Theft by posting their picture with their full name. Because children don't use credit, they are perfect targets for ID thieves.

Remember this

📋 Beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, life insurance, and TOD/POD accounts override your will. The person named on the account receives the asset regardless of what your estate plan says.

This is the most common estate planning disconnect. Someone updates their will after a divorce but forgets to change the beneficiary on a 401(k). The ex-spouse may receive the full balance.

For ERISA-governed plans like a 401(k), federal law requires spousal consent to name a non-spouse beneficiary. For IRAs and life insurance, no such requirement exists, and the designation alone controls.

Employer group life insurance policies are the ones people forget most often. Many are set up during onboarding and never reviewed again.

HSAs have a specific tax rule. If the named beneficiary is a surviving spouse, the account transfers tax-free. If the beneficiary is anyone else, the full balance becomes taxable income in the year of death.

A beneficiary designation review takes less than an hour. Pull up every retirement account, insurance policy, and bank or brokerage account with a TOD or POD feature, and compare the names on file to your current plan.

The time to fix a mismatch is now, not after it matters.

How should blended families handle estate planning?
Mixing families means mixing your plans for the future.
From what each child will inherit to who must pay taxes
after a spouse’s death, blended family estate plans are
delicate and detailed. Here are some questions you may
need to consider:
• How should our separate property items be
distributed?
• How should we divvy up inheritances for each
other and for our children?
• Who should have power of attorney in case one
of us becomes dependent?
• As a stepparent, you are not legally required to
leave anything to your stepchildren. But if you want
to, how would you like to divide your possessions?
