Woman Behind Graceland Foreclosure Scheme Gets 57 Months in Federal Prison

Prosecutors detailed a sham‑lender scheme built on forged loan papers that collapsed when a judge blocked a planned auction.

Overview

  • U.S. District Judge John T. Fowlkes Jr. sentenced Lisa Jeanine Findley to 57 months in prison and three years of supervised release in Memphis.
  • Findley pleaded guilty in February to one count of mail fraud, and prosecutors dropped an aggravated identity‑theft charge under a plea agreement.
  • Authorities said she created the fictitious Naussany Investments, forged signatures of Lisa Marie Presley and a Florida notary, and placed a false foreclosure notice for a May 2024 auction.
  • Riley Keough sued to stop the sale, and a court injunction prevented the auction, leaving Graceland under Presley family control.
  • The judge cited Findley’s prior nonviolent fraud convictions and ordered mental‑health counseling and restrictions on new credit, as prosecutors noted she later tried to blame a supposed Nigerian fraud ring.
