Prosecutors say Todd and Julie Chrisley hid their wealth from the IRS while flaunting their lavish lifestyle.Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced Monday to lengthy prison terms after being convicted earlier this year on charges including bank fraud and tax evasion.Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced Monday to lengthy prison terms after being convicted earlier this year on charges including bank fraud and tax evasion.
"The Chrisleys have built an empire based on the lie that their wealth came from dedication and hard work," prosecutors wrote. "The jury's unanimous verdict sets the record straight: Todd and Julie Chrisley are career swindlers who have made a living by jumping from one fraud scheme to another, lying to banks, stiffing vendors, and evading taxes at every corner."
Prosecutors have said the couple submitted fake documents to banks and managed to secure more than $30 million in fraudulent loans. Once that scheme fell apart, they walked away from their responsibility to repay the loans when Todd Chrisley declared bankruptcy. While in bankruptcy, they started their reality show and "flaunted their wealth and lifestyle to the American public," prosecutors wrote, and then hid the millions they made from the show from the IRS.
Todd Chrisley's lawyers said in a filing that the government never produced any evidence that he meant to defraud the banks, and that the loss amount calculated was incorrect. They also noted that the offenses were committed a long time ago and said he has no serious criminal history and has medical conditions that "would make imprisonment disproportionately harsh."
Oh no! If it's true though, then they need to make things right and do the time.
Good hopefully they go after the other crooked celebrities and politicians that do the same thing!
🤣Prison is going to love Todd❤️
Surely we can find better use for people than jail? Why not that many years of volunteerism, etc.?
Wow 19 years?
They need to give him a show in prison it would be hilarious the irs could get there money back from that
When do they start filming Chrisley Goes to Jail?
We'll he'll fit right in
If they committed their crimes before their reality TV show, then they screw themselves.
This is not best
It's about time those two were caught, they are so phoney.
Wow, reality Tv personalities be crooks. Smh
Yahooooooo way to go TODD LOL 😂 NOW THERE TAKING EVERYTHING u own! Why would you think that would be okay I will never get caught but they finally caught u ooooooo lol 😂
Sounds good, don't know anything about them, but you break the law you pay, especially with the feds.
Who?
What's gonna happen to their grand daughter
Was a dollar amount given in regards to the tax fraud.
Literally more time than a child rapist.
There will be a new show: Trumpley Knows Best
How is this breaking news? Furthermore, you're not even journalists so this isn't news, it's bovine schatology. I haven't watched any news alphabets in over 30 years, that's why I can say the things I say.
Is this in any way related to Jen Shah bc if so holy shit 😂
These two did what Trump has done for decades.
The biggest win for everyone from this, we will no longer have to see them on tv.
He'll be well liked in prison
Should have kept it under $950.
Stop feeling sorry for them crooks he wasn't thinking about God when he was getting that long they both wasn't thinking about God so what does God got to do with them doing their time for doing their crime there are people are pathetic I'm talking about the ones who feel sorry
How about all these politicians. All of them. Millions they have all made and not a mention. They are using them to make an example.
I know it was something about them, I just couldn't put my finger on it. I've never heard of them before I think they deserve much longer I think they both deserve 19 years and cancel all these shows because anybody else that's not famous will get much longer in jail.
Should’ve been at least 19 years each. Now that’s reality.
You can attempt to assassinate the VP of the United States with no penalty. You did not pay taxes and 12 yrs in jail. TRUMP SHOULD BE GIVEN LIFE
So tgey need longer prison sentences than rapists, molestors, and the like Really Insane! Fine them! Take their money but prison is ridiculous.
Lmao
Jose huizar heard screaming in his sell my crimee is a ditch to which was heard from another sell well he's not your ditch anymore
Love them and the show I hope they can do little time and just pay off there debt they owe over time just a waste to put them in jail. It does nobody any good just cost us money they are not bad people
I guess the didn’t donate enough to the Clinton Foundation to stay free. Just thought I’d throw that out there for all you Trump haters. Get a life.
I guess Chrisley didnt know best.
🤣😂🤣
This is terrible
That dude is gonna love prison.
He is gonna be really popular...
It's a bad time you do something with these scammers can we put more in prison
I don't know them, but the only time I ever saw them was on reality TV, they seem to be well adjusted people, I hope that they don't have to spend so much time in jail. If they can pay like as money to the people they harm, and get a lighter sentence
Can granny come visit?
Evidently they don’t know best! 🧐
😂 😂
That's just sad. 🥹
May God watch over them while they're in prison. Hope they find God 🙏
Chrisley knows crime and in the very near future, Chrisley will know prison! Laws must apply to everyone. Their arrogance is disgusting.
It's about time these crooks start getting time for their wrong doings. Now take their show off the air!
I bet they were charged with fewer counts of bank fraud and tax evasion than the Biden family. 🤔🤔🤔
Why are people feeling sorry for them I don’t get it
So the BIDENS can go to jail for this long too? YES PLEASE
Now we know why he was so rich lol the IRS mafia is crazy though fucktheirs
Just wow...
You cover this but not names being released of high profile pedofiles? You're pathetic as a news network Who are you being paid by?
They deserve to rot in hell!
Good to see the DOJ did their job. Now do Hunter and the Big Guy!
Ouch, reality set in…
Seems a bit much
Lawyers *let's act like they are the best ppl on earth so we can get $$* Lawyers: 'prison will be to harsh on him and the wife shouldn't do any time at all because shes an 'asset' to her community' Reality: they committed a crime they do the time. Fame shouldnt cover your ass
God doing his work 😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
How is Trump not in prison?
They will get out earlier
Domestic communists that tried to overthrow the government received lighter sentences than the Chrisley’s. ToddChrisley
Possible 😂
They've been through so much in life already God is with them and the family 🙏
It is nice to see, rich, white people go to jail, and not just minorities for minor offenses
Les goooooooo
Still wondering what they new best about….🤷🏼♀️
guess they didn’t really “know best” smh
Don't mess with the banking cartel.
True, but tax evasion, that’s more serious than murder to the government.
Yet, thugs who rob and shoot people aren’t even prosecuted. 🤦♂️
WOW!!!! Well, this is unexpected for me. Todd's always so 'do this and not that'🤔🫢😋
