Nuke Bizzle snitched on himself. He admitted on camera he stole from unsuspecting victims. |
Nuke Bizzle was arrested last week on identity theft and fraud charges after federal authorities (FBI, U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Postal Inspectors) for taking part in an unemployment scam. He gave himself away when he made a music video.
You can't make this shit up. When you do something illegal, what the hell are you doing making it public?
Department of Justice confirm that 31-year old Fontrell A. Baines and numerous others are under federal watch.
The feds arrested him on federal charges for fraudulently applying for more than $1.2 million in jobless benefits.
Bizzle's arrest took place in Las Vegas back in late September where he was in possession of eight Employment Development Department (EDD) debit cards. All but one of those cards bore the names of other people, an affidavit reportedly states.
His music video, "EDD" was posted on his social media back in early September and has racked over 500,000 views on YouTube. It features him and another rapper boasting about taking money using other people's EDD debit cards.
They lyrics include Baines boasting about his "swagger for EDD." He also mentions "go[ing] to the bank with a stack of these," at which he holds up the envelopes belonging to the EDD.
The affidavit reportedly alleges that 92 EDD debit cards were preloaded with a total of more than $1.2 million in fraudulent benefits. The cards were delivered to properties in Beverly Hills and Koreatown that investigators claim Bizzle had access to.

The entertainer took advantage of the CARES act, which is meant to bring unemployment benefits to freelance workers, a criminal complaint filed against him.
The local report states that Bizzle took part in the scam along with other "co-schemers" who allegedly withdrew more than $704,000 in cash from the EDD cards.
The rapper and others were charged with access device fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property and aggravated identity theft. The charges carry up to 30 years in federal time out. He will likely lose his properties, passport and access to electronics while out if he gets a "get out free" card.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
