Lisa Findley Guilty in Graceland Fraud Scheme

Lisa Jeanine Findley, a Missouri woman, has pleaded guilty to mail fraud in a scheme to defraud Elvis Presley's family by attempting to sell Graceland. She falsely claimed that Lisa Marie Presley had used Graceland as collateral for a $3.8 million loan from a fictitious company, Naussany Investments, which Findley created. Findley threatened to auction Graceland unless the Presley family paid $2.85 million, but the sale was halted after legal action by Presley’s granddaughter, Riley Keough. The plea deal includes dropping the charge of aggravated identity theft, and Findley faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, with sentencing set for June 18. The case highlights the vulnerabilities of iconic properties to fraudulent schemes, while Graceland remains a prominent tourist attraction.
