Why are the chrisleys going to prison

Answer

The Chrisleys are going to prison as a result of their fraud conviction[10]. Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Julie Chrisley was given a 7 year sentence[9]. It was reported that the Chrisleys attempted to avoid prison by appealing the verdict, but the court denied their request for bail[9].

The Chrisleys were convicted of tax fraud, falsifying bank records, conspiracy to defraud the US Government and other financial crimes[3]. The case was filed by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia and alleged that the Chrisleys had committed multiple financial crimes in order to avoid paying their taxes[3]. Additionally, the government alleged that the Chrisleys had falsified bank records and submitted fraudulent documents to the IRS, among other crimes[9].

The New York Times reported that the Chrisleys were expected to report to prison at the start of the new year, and the family has publicly stood by them as they prepare to serve their sentences[7]. The Chrisleys had pleaded not guilty to the charges, but their convictions stand and they must now serve their sentences[4]..
