In May 2022, the trial for Todd and Julie Chrisley, the stars of the reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," began in an Atlanta court. They had been charged with bank and wire fraud, tax evasion, and a conspiracy more than two years prior. The Assistant U.S. Attorney, Annalise Peters, alleged that the couple had falsely inflated their earnings to obtain more than $30 million in loans from banks and had also hidden funds from the IRS. The Chrisleys' attorney, however, argued that their former employee, Mark Braddock, had committed the crimes without their knowledge or involvement and that the fraud had occurred after he was fired in 2012.



The couple was found guilty of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to defraud the United States by a federal jury in Atlanta. They were accused of trying to defraud Georgia banks out of $30 million in loans. Shortly after their sentencing, the Chrisleys' family attorney, Alex Little, said that they planned to appeal, but their request for bail and to extend their surrender date was denied by the court. Both Todd and Julie, as well as their children, have spoken publicly about the case. Julie stated in a podcast episode that she never intentionally did anything wrong, and Todd shared that the legal issues have brought the family closer together.
