Todd and Julie Chrisley have learned their fate.
After nearly three weeks of testimony from prosecutors and witnesses, an Atlanta federal jury found the reality stars guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud, according to a press release from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Northern District of Georgia obtained by E! News.
The Chrisley Knows Best stars were federally indicted in Aug. 2019 on 12 counts, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to a court document obtained by NBC News.
The pair pleaded not guilty to the charges, but were found guilty on all counts on June 7, per the Associated Press.
The U.S. attorney’s office alleged the Chrisleys conspired to defraud banks out of more than $30 million of personal loans using false bank statements and more.
“As today’s outcome shows, when you lie, cheat and steal, justice is blind as to your fame, your fortune, and your position,” said Keri Farley, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, in a statement obtained by E! News. “In the end, when driven by greed, the verdict of guilty on all counts for these three defendants proves once again that financial crimes do not pay.”
