I don't watch 'Housewifes' of anywhere, but I followed this story further then some, and the dude Apollo is a certified federal cooperator, and he's not fighting a fed case, but that poster is right in the sense he cannot violate the terms of his cooperation agreement, if he does, he can still get the same time as if he hadn't cooperated. And he has a history in the feds, he probably cooperated back then too, to get out in 5 years on an 18 year term. Please.
T.I shyt is suspect too, but thats another thread and another case. This dude cooperated to reduce his sentence, it's a white collar case, it's almost unheard of for defendants to not cooperate, doesn't mean you should respect him for that, or for much of anything, besides being a check frauding, D list celeb, who married up.
