ATLANTA—Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Gregory Jones, FBI Atlanta, announces the following arrests today at Alpharetta, Georgia:
Louis Joseph Aprile, age 49, of Alpharetta, Georgia, was arrested today, June 9, 2009, along with Michael Garveigh, age 45, of Roswell, Georgia. Aprile is being charged with violation of 18 USC 912, Impersonation of a Government Official, while Garveigh is being charged with violation of 18 USC 915, Impersonation of a Foreign Official.
The arrests of both Aprile and Garveigh by the FBI came after the two met with members of the Alpharetta Police Department as part of a scheme to recover funds allegedly on behalf of the U.S. Government from two locations, one in Alpharetta, Georgia and one in Marietta, Georgia. As part of this scheme, both individuals solicited law enforcement assistance from both the Alpharetta Police Department and the Marietta Police Department with Mr. Aprile allegedly misrepresenting himself as an agent of the National Security Agency (NSA) while his associate, Mr. Garveigh, a citizen of the United Kingdom, allegedly misrepresenting himself as a member of MI-5 (British Intelligence). Both individuals began meeting with representatives of these police departments approximately two weeks ago, stating that they were attempting to put together a counter-terrorism task force and were recruiting officers to work on this task force. During these meetings, Aprile and Garveigh briefed the law enforcement representatives of two locations that, according to them, held terrorism related money which needed to be recovered. As a caveat to this scheme, the law enforcement representatives were told not to contact the FBI regarding their efforts. Their efforts, however, did generate suspicion and the FBI was appropriately contacted.
Mr. Aprile and Mr. Garveigh will have their initial appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday, June 10, 2009.
Wow! This reads like some kind of movie plot!
These guys must have some serious ba11z to even seriously think of attempting something like this! LOL!!!
NSA and MI-5?
What were they thinking? The NSA in a counter-terrorism task force? What? Armed with pocket protectors and slide rules?
NSA not NASA!

My hometown. I can guarantee this scheme was met with all the enthusiasm and belief of a Nigerian email in this town.
hey, i know folks who have wanted to do the nigerian thing. Amazing how stupid greed makes people.
parsy, who is being a good uncle in Jesus and needs $139.95 to break lose funds held in trust by Nigerian Gov’t and will send you 1,000,000 dollars for orphans of gay parents
That’s a really comfortable looking setup there.
Darn right it is. IBM XT with dual 360K floppies and a Zilog Z80 aftermarket processor for those particularly difficult crypto sessions, a Panasonic 1040 dot matrix printer, a true IBM keyboard, and a Tandy VGA monitor.
The rich faux walnut paneling, the sweet smell of Newport cigs, day old coffee in your Superman sippy and a chair stolen from your mom's kitchen completes the ensemble. Man, those were the days.
