USA Network’s “Chrisley Knows Best” — its most-watched original series — will continue airing despite its star couple Todd and Julie Chrisley being found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion on Tuesday, TheWrap has learned.
The reality TV stars could face up to 30 years in prison, a verdict that was reached on the third day of jury deliberation in the three-week trial. Prosecutors said the pair targeted small banks for loans by inflating their net worth, deliberately “swindling” $30 million before wiping out $20 million of that debt through a personal bankruptcy. Through an attorney, the Chrisleys said they would appeal the decision.
