Don’t know anything about this case, what did they do supposedly? I’m assuming it wasn’t bank robbery.
The pair were indicted in 2019 on charges including conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million in loans, with a federal jury convicting them in June 2022. The couple was also convicted of conspiring to defraud the IRS, along with additional tax crimes, the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Georgia said at the time.
The jury found that the couple submitted fake bank statements and other financial records to obtain personal loans, which they then used to buy luxury cars, designer clothes, real estate and travel.
"After spending all the money, Todd Chrisley filed for bankruptcy and walked away from more than $20 million of the fraudulently obtained loans," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in 2022 after their conviction.
Meanwhile, the couple concealed their income from their reality TV show from the IRS to avoid paying nearly $500,000 in delinquent taxes. The Chrisleys also failed to file tax returns and pay taxes from 2013 through 2016.
"These convictions should send a clear message regardless of your fame or notoriety, everyone will be held accountable for paying their fair share of taxes," said James E. Dorsey, special agent in charge, IRS-Criminal Investigation, in a statement on the Chrisley's convictions.
