Rapper Nuke Bizzle, whose real name is Fontrell Antonio Baines, 31, boasted in a YouTube music video about getting rich from committing unemployment benefits fraud, the Department of Justice said.
He was later arrested on suspicion of obtaining California Employment Development Department debit cards that were issued to other people, including those whose identities were stolen.
Baines, whos originally from Memphis, Tennessee, got at least 92 EDD debit cards that had been loaded with more than $1.2 million and mailed to addresses he had access to in Beverly Hills and Koreatown, according to a DOJ news release.
Las Vegas police arrested Baines on Sept. 23, finding he had seven debit cards in other peoples names, according to the Justice Department.
Baines is facing charges related to access device fraud, aggravated identity theft and interstate transportation of stolen property. He could face a statutory maximum sentence of 22 years in federal prison if convicted of all the charges.

I wonder just how many more states this is happening in, can’t just be calif
So, 92 “free government money” debit cards are worth $1.2 million.
1,200,000.00 / 92 = 13,000.00 per government debit card. All stolen/falsely issued.
Not a bad wage for crime. 1/2 year's income for a $25,000.00 ANNUAL household income, right?
Aren't these debit/debt-idiot cards re-issued each month?
Reloaded with new money for the poverty-striken?

“Rapper Nuke Bizzle, whose real name is Fontrell Antonio Baines”
Hey, Nuke: stick with your real name. “Fontrell” has a better ring to it than “Nuke”
Brilliant!
