I am attaching a link to the 71 page sentencing memorandum for the Chrisleys. The file is too large to load on this site. It is a public document. It has a lot of information in it that describes the multiple fraudulent schemes the Chrisley’s participated in over the past 15 + years.
Click on the link, skim through it and you will see a pattern of deception, blaming others, stiffing vendors, getting witnesses to lie, generating false tax returns and personal financial statements, lavish spending and greed, Todd’s true personality revealed through emails, etc. It is a good review on fraudulent and dishonest behaviors of a greedy, money hungry couple and the harm the fraudsters inflict upon others, financial and otherwise.
