NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley can be jailed for years for swindling banks out of millions of dollars to endow their lavish lifestyle and then blocking the IRS investigation. The 'Chrisley Knows Best' couple, who were found guilty in June 2022 of a year-long tax and banking fraud, will learn their fate next week. The scheme allowed them to borrow $30 million by inflating their earnings.
