Todd and Julie Chrisley trial jury finds them guilty of bank fraud and more

While USA Network prepares season 9 of the reality series Chrisley knows best, which just released its first trailer, its main stars Todd and Julie Chrisley have been involved in a major court case involving bank fraud allegations and more. Exactly three weeks after the Atlanta trial began, the jury returned the verdict and the husband and wife were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion, among other related crimes.

According to TMZBoth Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of a “laundry list” of charges, some of which were cited by their former employee Mark Braddock. In addition, his accountant Peter Tarantino was also found guilty of various related charges. Some of these charges include aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns.

The Chrisley family doesn’t seem to like the news, which is understandable, and one can only imagine how daughter Lindsie reacted given her explosions at the helm. Todd Chrisley’s attorney said this:

At present, no sentencing date has been set for Todd or Julie Chrisley and that timeline has yet to be determined. Both are currently on probation and will remain under house arrest until further notice.

The allegations at the center of the case relate to Chrisley’s August 2019 tax evasion charge. At the time it was alleged that Todd and Julie had submitted false documents to the banks when applying for the loans, with the latter producing a report of fake credit and bank statements while trying to rent a house which they were later accused of refusing to pay. rent for.

Additionally, it was reported that the husband and wife used the film production company they ran to withhold part of their income from the IRS to prevent the government from attempting to collect unpaid taxes from Todd Chrisley.

It seemed odd that in the midst of the lawsuit in Georgia, USA Network had decided to release the first trailer for the new season of Chrisley knows best, which was filmed before his last legal woes, with no idea how things would turn out. That trailer can be seen below, although it goes without saying that the network is expected to come up with a new plan to release the episodes to the public.

As if, Chrisley knows best is still ready for the season 9 debut American network Thursday, June 23 at 9 p.m. ET. Past seasons, as well as those of some spin-offs, are available for viewing with a peacock subscription .
