ATLANTA – Todd and Julie Chrisley have been sentenced to 12 and seven years, respectively, in federal prison after a jury convicted them of bank and tax fraud offenses following a nearly three-week jury trial.

“Over the course of a decade, the defendants defrauded banks out of tens of millions of dollars while evading payment of their federal income taxes” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “Their lengthy sentences reflect the magnitude of their criminal scheme and should serve as a warning to others tempted to exploit our nation’s community banking system for unlawful personal gain.”

“As this sentencing proves, when you lie, cheat, and steal, justice is blind to your fame, fortune, and position,” said Keri Farley, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI is proud to work with our law enforcement partners at the IRS and the U.S. Attorney’s office to pursue and prosecute individuals that are driven by greed to evade the law.”

“The Chrisleys defrauded financial institutions and the Federal Government through tax evasion and other fraudulent means in an effort to minimize their tax liability, but project an image of wealth,” said James E. Dorsey, Special Agent in Charge, IRS Criminal Investigation, Atlanta Field Office. “This sentencing serves notice that no matter a person’s celebrity status, there are severe consequences for defrauding the American tax system.”

According to U.S. Attorney Buchanan, the charges and other information presented in court: Todd and Julie Chrisley conspired to defraud community banks in the Atlanta area to obtain more than $36 million in personal loans. The Chrisleys, with the help of their former business partner, submitted false bank statements, audit reports, and personal financial statements to Georgia community banks to obtain the loans. The Chrisleys spent the money on luxury cars, designer clothes, real estate, and travel – and used new fraudulent loans to pay back old ones. After spending all the money, Todd Chrisley filed for bankruptcy and walked away from more than $20 million of these fraudulently obtained loans.

Later, while earning millions from their TV show, Todd and Julie Chrisley, along with their accountant, Peter Tarantino, conspired to defraud the Internal Revenue Service. Throughout the conspiracy, the Chrisleys operated a loan-out company. To evade collection of half a million dollars in delinquent taxes owed by Todd Chrisley, the Chrisleys opened and kept the corporate bank accounts only in Julie Chrisley’s name. But after the IRS requested information about bank accounts in Julie Chrisley’s name, the Chrisleys transferred ownership of the corporate bank account to a relative to further conceal their income from the IRS.

In addition, the Chrisleys failed to file tax returns or pay any taxes for the 2013, 2014, 2015, or 2016 tax years. As a part of the tax evasion scheme, Tarantino was convicted of filing two false corporate tax returns for the loan-out company, which falsely claimed that the company earned no money and made no distributions in 2015 and 2016.

The Chrisleys also attempted to obstruct justice before being charged as well as during the trial. After learning of the grand jury investigation, Julie Chrisley submitted a fraudulent document in response to a grand jury subpoena to make it appear that the Chrisleys had not lied to the bank when they transferred ownership of the loan-out company’s bank account to their relative.

On June 7, 2022, a jury convicted the Chrisleys on all counts of a superseding indictment, including conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit tax evasion. The jury convicted Julie Chrisley of an additional charge of obstruction of justice. Tarantino was also convicted of multiple tax-related violations.

U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross sentenced the defendants as follows:

Todd Chrisley, 54, of Brentwood, Tennessee, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
Julie Chrisley, 49, of Brentwood, Tennessee, has been sentenced to seven years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
Peter Tarantino, 60, of Alpharetta, Georgia, has been sentenced to three years in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release.
As part of sentencing, the Court ordered both Todd and Julie Chrisley to pay restitution and will determine the exact amount at a later date.

As Todd and Julie Chrisley face possible prison time, the issue of what happens to Chloe Chrisley has been raised. For Chloe and Grayson, the majority of viewers expected Savannah or Chase to step up. However, many followers questioned whether Chloe should return to her parents rather than stay with her new boyfriend. Would Kyle finally step up and be the father Chloe deserved? They admit that the return of Chloe to her parents would be adored by many of her fans. Unfortunately, there are several reasons why bringing Chloe back to her mother and father will not be possible. And what are they?

What did Savannah do that has fans so upset? And, do these fans have grounds for these accusations?

Grayson And Chloe Chrisley: One Chip Challenge

A little over halfway through this week’s episode of Savannah’s podcast, Grayson and Chloe Chrisley participate in the one-chip challenge. The Paqui One Chip Challenge made headlines recently after a teenager reportedly passed away after trying the challenge. As a result, the company made the decision to take the product off the shelves. The decision to pull the Paqui One Chip Challenge from the market was controversial as many argued the teenager likely had a severe allergic reaction to the product.

Understandably, Chrisley Knows Best fans were a bit surprised to see Chloe and Grayson doing the one-chip challenge given all of the negative press surrounding it recently.

Turns out, depending on how a person chooses to stream the podcast, some platforms include a disclaimer that the episode was filmed before news broke that the challenge resulted in someone’s death.

Fans Accuses Savannah Chrisley Of Child Abuse: What Happened?

On Reddit, fans admit they are horrified they didn’t remove the segment from the podcast before posting it all over the Internet. Likewise, fans were equally horrified Savannah allowed Grayson and Chloe to do the challenge as it specifically warns it is not recommended for children. Fans grew even more enraged as Savannah appeared to laugh with amusement as the children she was responsible for struggled in pain.

Many fans argued on Reddit the segment was uncomfortable to watch and they believed it was child abuse. One individual even shared a link and noted it wasn’t difficult to report her for her actions in this video. Here’s some of what fans had to say about the chip challenge and Chloe’s safety:

• “I just watched the rest of it. At the end when Chloe says, ‘You made us do it.’ …The way she was laughing at them clearly in pain..That was truly hard to watch.”
• “Finally finished watching and found it horrifying. Savannah keeps telling Chloe it was Chloe’s idea. I used to have some ‘ideas’ when I was ten, but thank god I had responsible adults to point out the stupidity lol!”
• “That was clearly a ‘not for kids’ challenge. Even the website has it prominently shown.”

Savannah and Chloe seemed to go back and forth on who had the original idea to do the challenge. Fans, however, argue Savannah is the adult and should have looked into it not being for children and shut it down immediately. Moreover, fans argue Savannah shouldn’t have taken pleasure in Chloe’s pain.
