Todd and Julie Chrisley have been found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion. They were convicted on a laundry list of charges, according to a court clerk for the northern district of Georgia. Their accountant, Peter Tarantino, was also found guilty on related charges, including aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns.
To review, the “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were indicted in 2019 of defrauding banks by obtaining millions in loans. In addition, the US Attorney’s Office claimed they cheated the government by actively evading federal income taxes. While they maintained their innocence, they knew the charges were coming.
The Chrisleys are currently on home detention until their sentencing date, which hasn't been set. They’re facing up to 30 years behind bars, but they’re planning to appeal the verdict.
