The Suspect In Elvis Presley’s Graceland Estate Sale Scheme Has Reportedly Pled Guilty

By Gerry W. Beyer

GRACELANDLast year, Lisa Jeanine Findley claimed the late Lisa Marie Presley borrowed $3.8 million from a fictitious private lender. Within the fraudulent files, Findley said Presley put Graceland up as collateral. Following Presley’s death, Findley allegedly threatened the estate (which is now controlled by Presley’s daughter Riley Keough) to pay a $2.85 million settlement otherwise Graceland would be sent to auction.

Findley pled guilty the other day to an the alleged scheme to defraud the Presley family of millions of dollars and steal the family’s ownership interest in Graceland. 

Findley is due back in court on June 18 to be sentenced. Prior to her plea, Findley faced 20 years. But, according to AP, that could be drastic cut under a deal made with the prosecutor’s office.
