"Chrisley Knows Best" star Todd Chrisley estranged son Kyle is ripping into his father after the star was indicted for bank fraud.
Kyle Chrisley just re-posted a quote on social media which stated, “Never question who God removed from your life. He heard the conversations when you weren’t around.”
Kyle and Todd have a very strained relationship and have not spoken to each other in years.
Earlier this year, Kyle was arrested on charges relating to alleged meth possession. He has had other legal issues throughout the years, and Todd has been vocal about spending a fortune on his sons' multiple attempts at rehab.
The Blast
Todd even currently has custody of Kyle's daughter, Chloe, after Kyle lost custody of the 6-year-old child.
According to the indictment filed Tuesday in the Northern District of Georgia and obtained by The Blast, both Todd and Julie Chrisley have been charged with 11 counts related to bank fraud and tax evasion.
According to the federal sentencing guidelines, the reality stars are facing up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
Officials claim Todd and Julie set up a production company, called 7C's Productions, which served as a loan-out company for all the money earned through their popular reality show, "Chrisley Knows Best," which airs on the USA Network.
Indictment
The documents claim millions of dollars were deposited into the production company account over the years, but the reality stars did not file tax returns in time for 2014, 2015 or 2016.
When the taxes were paid, officials claim the numbers are bogus and that actual amounts were falsified as to mask how much money was actually owed.
Officials claim that "throughout the conspiracy," Todd and Julie knowingly went on lavish spending sprees, dropping thousands of dollars at electronic stores, luxury retail stores and other purchases ... but claimed they did not have enough cash to pay off their outstanding tax debt.
The Chrisley's, who also have a spinoff show, "Growing Up Chrisley," allegedly said they could not afford to pay their taxes, but officials had been watching their spending and believe they were lying.
Todd denies all the allegations and is adamant the evidence submitted to the feds has been fabricated by a bitter ex-employee.
