NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Todd and Julie Chrisley were ultimately handed their sentence in Atlanta's federal court on fraud convictions with the former receiving 12 years and the latter getting seven years in prison. They were found guilty of fraud which involved swindling banks out of millions of dollars to grant their lavish lifestyle and then meddling with the IRS investigation. The Chrisleys were convicted in June and US District Judge Eleanor Ross handed down their punishment and they both received 16 months probation.

The 'Chrisley Knows Best' couple defrauded the bank for more than $30 million by providing fake financial statements with inflated earnings making it look like they were richer than they were. They hid their money from the IRS to avoid taxes while they bought expensive cars, went on elaborate trips, wore branded clothes, and more. Todd and Julie were joined by their accountant Peter Tarantino, who was sentenced Monday, November 21, to 36 months in prison for being an accessory to the crime. Assistant US Attorney Annalise Peters took the courtroom by storm on Monday while exposing the couple as she played a clip where Julie could be seen bragging about spending thousands of dollars, enjoying living in their 30,000-square-foot home, and avoiding taxes and in the middle of bankruptcy. The reality TV couple was heavily trolled by people online.
