APB: Former R&B Singer Wanted for Stealing $1 mil From Hundreds of People


It's a Ponzi scheme, hood-style.

Atlanta police is looking for Brian Dalyrimple, formerly of the R&B group Soul For Real. (For you youngins, Soul For Real was banging back in the '90s, they had a hit song called “Candy Rain". Youtube it.)

Now back to the case!

Brian, along with Laborah Crawford, are suspected of milking more than 200 people of more than $1 million!

“One of our detectives is working on it, she’s our white-collar crime specialist and she has identified 145 victims within our jurisdiction, several of them businesses, and an additional 115 victims in other jurisdictions, so you’re looking at over 260 victims right now,” said Maj. Don Woodruff with the Duluth Police Department.

The victims, according to police, are now out of more than $1 million collectively as the result of identity theft and financial fraud.

Laborah - one of dem names - is in police custody, but Brian is on the run and he has his 10-month-old son with him.

Police would not say anything more about how they believe the two were able to get the money and personal information of others. Police said the investigation began with a call from across the country.

“There was a victim in California also who contacted us. (They) noticed that a lot of charges had been made here in Duluth on their accounts and what not and we looked further into it,” said Woodruff.

If you see this fool on the streets, call the cops @ (404) 577-TIPS. We're sure you can make some money doing that, legally.
