Once the flashy stars of the hit USA Network series Chrisley Knows Best, Todd and Julie built a public image as self-made Southern millionaires living a lavish lifestyle filled with luxury cars, designer clothes, sprawling homes, and over-the-top family drama. But behind the cameras, federal prosecutors alleged a years-long scheme of bank fraud, wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy that defrauded banks out of more than $30 million.
Jim breaks it all down: their rise from real estate roots to TV stardom, the 2019 indictment, the high-profile 2022 trial and convictions, Todd's 12-year sentence and Julie's 7-year term, their time behind bars, and the relentless family fight for justice that culminated in President Donald Trump's full pardons in May 2025.
The real details of the alleged fraudulent loans, hidden TV income, the impact on their children—including Savannah's public advocacy—and what life looks like now for the Chrisley’s one year post-release.
