What the future holds. Todd and Julie Chrisley had been convicted of tax evasion and fraud earlier this month, but a lot of questions still remain — together with how a lot prison time they may well be facing.
“It’s lovely critical,” Beverly Hills-based legal analyst Jeffrey W. Steinberger, who is not affiliated with the case, exclusively tells Us Weekly. “It’s vital in two techniques: one, it’s an enormous [monetary] number, and significantly enormous numbers draw huge prison time. Secondly, since they have been on the air and are famous personalities, most prosecutors tend to present heavier sentences to financial institution fraud and tax fraud instances in an effort to discourage non-celebrity people from committing the similar crimes.”
The Chrisley Knows Best superstar, 53, and his spouse, 49, had been convicted on charges of tax evasion, financial institution and wire fraud and conspiracy after an ordeal that concluded on June 7. After the duo’s indictment in 2019, Todd denied the allegations in opposition to them in a long statement, claiming that the costs stemmed from former employee Mark Braddock‘s attempt to get “revenge” at the couple.
“He took a bunch of his phony documents to the U.S. Attorney’s place of business and told them we had committed a wide variety of economic crimes, like tax evasion and financial institution fraud,” the Georgia native mentioned at the time.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Annalise Peters, meanwhile, alleged that Todd and Julie received greater than $30 million in loans by lying about their source of revenue. “They made up documents they usually lie via their tooth to get whatever they want, every time they would like it,” the attorney stated in court.
The USA personalities aren’t allowed to discuss the result of the trial or their upcoming October 6 sentencing, however they recently opened up about the aftermath of the decision on an episode in their “Chrisley Confessions” podcast.
“We wanted to let everyone know that it’s an excessively unhappy, heartbreaking time for our circle of relatives at this time,” Todd mentioned on Friday, June 17. “But we still grasp steadfast in our religion and we trust that God will do what he does as a result of God’s a miracle worker — and that’s what we’re maintaining out for.”
The second part of Chrisley Knows Best‘s ninth season is about to premiere on Thursday, June 23, however the trial won’t be covered in the new episodes. Earlier this month, an insider confirmed to Us that filming was once finished before the trial began, noting that manufacturing on season 10 also hasn’t started yet.

“They aren’t positive what this implies for the way forward for Chrisley Knows Best and all their different initiatives that were in the works,” a source told Us after the conviction. “No one is aware of what’s going to happen or what to do at this stage.”
