VALDOSTA – The founder of a self-proclaimed white supremacist group was arrested in Valdosta last month following an FBI-led murder-for-hire sting operation.

Adrian Apodaca, 44, the founder of a skinhead group called the Vinlander Social Club, faces several charges, including one related to an FBI sting that involved a bogus murder-for-hire contract, reports The Sun-Sentinel.

Apodaca, also known as “Skitz,” had been under investigation by the FBI since this past May.

In September, he was invited to meet with FBI agents who posed as “affluent violent members of a criminal organization with white supremacy extremist beliefs.”

The agents reportedly offered to pay Apodaca money in exchange for committing various crimes, including an offer of $5,000 to murder a fictional man named “Tony” whom the agents claimed owed them money. He agreed to take the job, and was subsequently arrested by officers on October 28.

If he’s convicted of all charges, he will face life in prison, along with fines of up to $10 million.
