COURT BATTLE
The chaos for the Chrisley Knows Best stars began when they reportedly turned themselves into an FBI office in Atlanta hours after they were indicted for federal tax evasion charges in August of 2019.
Todd and Julie walked into the courtroom shackled but walked out “vowing to fight,” WBS in Atlanta reported at the time.
"We stand in our faith, and we stand in what we know is right. We are fortunate to have the counsel that we have, and our family will stick together, and we'll walk this road because we know that the good Lord will hold our hand and take us through," Todd said.
The two pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintained their innocence.
Todd claimed in an in August that he and Julie fell victim to an ex-employee who somehow convinced federal agents to go after them.
He wrote: "To get revenge, he took a bunch of his phony documents to the U.S. Attorney's office and told them we had committed all kinds of financial crimes, like tax evasion and bank fraud..."
He continued: "That got their attention all right, but once we had a chance to explain who he was and what he'd done to us, they realized it was all a bunch of nonsense and they sent him on his way."
That same month Todd and Chrisley were hit with the charges and accused of conspiring to defraud “numerous banks” by giving the institutions false personal financial statements and other information while getting millions of dollars in loans, the for the Northern District of Georgia said.
SHOCKING SECRETS
Many shocking developments occurred during the almost three-week trial as TV star Todd was accused of carrying on an affair in the early 2000s with partner Mark Braddock, the man who helped him commit fraud and eventually tipped cops.
The two allegedly teamed up to commit fraud by submitting false bank reports and evading $2million in taxes.
According to , Todd and Mark had a personal falling out in 2012, long after the end of their affair, when the TV personality locked Mark out of the office and threatened to have him arrested.
