Missouri Woman Pleads Guilty in Scheme to Defraud Elvis Presley's Family and Auction Graceland

Lisa Jeanine Findley admitted to fabricating documents and posing as multiple personas in a failed attempt to steal ownership of the iconic Memphis estate.

Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, pleaded guilty to mail fraud in a scheme to defraud Elvis Presley's family and auction Graceland, facing up to 20 years in prison but likely to receive a reduced sentence under a plea deal.
Findley falsely claimed that Lisa Marie Presley had borrowed $3.8 million using Graceland as collateral, fabricating loan documents and forging signatures to support her claims.
Riley Keough, Elvis Presley's granddaughter and the current owner of Graceland, filed a lawsuit in 2024 that successfully blocked the fraudulent foreclosure and auction attempt.
Authorities uncovered Findley's use of a fake company, Naussany Investments, and her posing as multiple personas, including attempts to shift blame to a fictitious Nigerian fraud ring.
Graceland, a National Historic Landmark and major tourist attraction, remains under the ownership of the Presley family and continues to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
