Todd and Julie Chrisley, hosts of the popular program Chrisley Know Best, were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion on June 7, 2022. According to the Department of Justice, the couple spent money gained via illegal loans on real estate, vacation, and expensive automobiles.
According to a court clerk for the Northern District of Georgia, the couple’s accountant, Peter Tatantino, was also convicted of a number of related counts, including aiding and abetting the filing of fake tax forms. A sentencing date has yet to be set. They might, however, face up to 30 years in jail, according to reports. The Chrisley Knows Best cast members are now free on bail. Prosecutors also claim that Todd and Julie falsified papers when asking for loans and falsified credit reports, bank records, and other documentation when renting a residence in California.
In a statement, Keri Farley, special agent in charge of the F.B.I. in Atlanta, said:
“When you lie, cheat, and steal, justice disregards your fame, riches, and position.”
Todd Chrisley’s Net worth
The American businessman and reality television star are worth $1.5 million. The celebrity was born in Georgia on April 6, 1969, and grew up in Westminster, South Carolina. He is the owner of Chrisley Asset Management, a company that has been failing for many years. Infinite Love, his country song with Sara Evans, peaked at #19 on the Billboard Country Digital Singles list in 2016. According to Chrisley, a discussion program hosted by the actor was announced by USA Network in 2017. He discussed marriage, children, relationships, and other topics with a Chrisley family member and a famous guest. After just one season, the program was canceled.
Todd and his family, on the other hand, led a luxury lifestyle, including owning a 30,000-square-foot estate. On August 14, he and his wife Julie Chrisley were arrested in Atlanta on tax evasion, wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy charges. Todd and Julie reportedly used Chrisley Asset Management to acquire and sell properties between 2007 and 2012, according to the indictment. However, in order to get the loans, they presented incorrect information, inflating the couple’s net worth.
The pair also lied about having millions in their Merrill Lynch bank, but when they opened one a year later, it only had $17,000 in it. A fresh indictment was filed in February 2022. In addition, they were found guilty of using a film production business to conceal $2 million in delinquent taxes owing to the IRS. The $2 million was purportedly earned through their program and hidden from their production business.
