Even though Julie was convicted on the same charges plus a charge of wire fraud and obstruction of justice, prosecutors are only recommending 10 to 13 years in prison for her. The couple has also been asked to forfeit nearly $20 million.<\/p>\n<p>They were convicted in June and will appear in court on Monday for sentencing.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the Chrisleys have argued for a reduced sentence, saying the couple has fully accounted for all their income and that many people \u2013 including Todd\u2019s mother and the crew who worked on their reality television show \u2013 would be negatively impacted by their incarceration. The defense has requested Todd received a combined sentence of limited incarceration and supervised release in addition to paying restitution. The defense has also argued for a new trial, claiming an IRS officer falsely testified and that the prosecution put her up to it.<\/p>\n<p>Todd Chrisley made a fortune through Chrisley Asset Management, a real estate company he founded in Georgia, The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/reality-bites-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-chrisley-family-empire\">reported<\/a>. The success of the business combined with Todd\u2019s personality and large family made him a perfect candidate for reality TV, which led to \u201cChrisley Knows Best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even before the Chrisleys began their reality show in 2014, they had financial problems. In 2012, Todd filed for bankruptcy protection. Explaining the filing, his lawyer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tv\/chrisley-knows-best-inside-todd-chrisleys-45-million-bankruptcy-case\/#:~:text=After%20a%20large%20business%20investment,have%20been%20fine%2C%20financially.%E2%80%9D\">told\u00a0People<\/a>, \u201cHe guaranteed a real estate development loan and it failed. He was on the hook for $30 million. If he hadn\u2019t had that happen, he would have been fine, financially.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice (DOJ), however,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-ndga\/pr\/reality-tv-stars-convicted-fraud-and-tax-evasion?ftag=YHF4eb9d17\">explained<\/a>\u00a0that the Chrisleys \u2014 prior to their reality show \u2014 \u201cconspired to defraud community banks in the Atlanta area to obtain more than $30 million in personal loans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the help of a business partner,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/popculture.com\/reality-tv\/news\/todd-chrisley-ex-business-partner-mark-braddock-claims-had-affair\/\">Mark Braddock<\/a>, the Chrisleys \u201csubmitted false bank statements, audit reports, and personal financial statements to banks to obtain the millions of dollars in fraudulent loans,\u201d the DOJ wrote.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the couple\u2019s problems expanded. WSB-TV\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsbtv.com\/news\/local\/north-fulton-county\/state-issues-liens-against-reality-star-after-channel-2-investigation\/505362349\/\">reported<\/a>\u00a0at the time that the Chrisleys owed nearly $800,000 in taxes to the state of Georgia and had declared their residency on numerous public records before moving to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Todd sued Homebanc Mortgage Corporation, Radar Online\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/radaronline.com\/exclusives\/2019\/08\/todd-chrisley-blamed-business-partner-morgage-forgery-before-indictment-scandal\/\">reported<\/a>, alleging a \u201cformer business partner,\u201d presumably Mark Braddock, forged Todd\u2019s name on the mortgage and made some payments on his behalf. Todd also claimed that the same business partner was the reason he had to file for bankruptcy protection in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the Chrisleys were indicted.
