Todd and Julie Chrisley Win $1 Million Settlement in Lawsuit Against Georgia Tax Official

The reality TV stars, currently serving prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion, alleged misconduct in a 2019 investigation against them.

Reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley have been awarded a $1 million settlement from the state of Georgia in a lawsuit alleging misconduct in a 2019 investigation against them.
The lawsuit was filed against Joshua Waites, the former Director of Special Investigations of the state’s Department of Revenue, whom the Chrisleys accused of 'specifically targeting' their family in a state tax evasion charge.
Despite being cleared of the state tax evasion charge, the Chrisleys were indicted by a federal grand jury in 2019 for bank and wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy.
They began serving their respective prison sentences in January 2023, with Todd due for release in 2033 and Julie in 2028.
The Chrisleys' appeal of their criminal convictions will be heard by the federal appeals court in Atlanta in April 2024.
