Chrisley Knows Best stars Todd and Julie Chrisley are currently on trial for their fraud charges, and recent testimony from a former business partner claims that the couple may have been privy to the fraudulent activities. In 2019, the Chrisleys were charged and indicted for different counts of alleged tax evasion, wire fraud and conspiracy bank fraud. When the news initially broke about what the family had done, they released a statement blaming the issues on a former employee, and they claimed they did not know anything about what the employee was doing with their funds. They even claimed that the employee stole large amounts of money from them.

At this point, lawsuits between the Chrisleys and other parties involved were filed. The Chrisleys released names of people they were holding accountable for the trouble they were in. In return, some of those people filed defamation and libel lawsuits, but this did not intimidate the Chrisley family. The trial for this huge case has begun and, thus far, things do not seem to be going in the favor of the famous family.

Mark Braddock, one of Todd's former employees, took the stand in court and testified, claiming that he helped the stars commit fraud mainly because he was allegedly having an affair with Todd, according to the Daily Mail. The alleged affair happened simultaneously with the fraud, in the early 2000's. Mark admitted to fabricating tax documents and submitting them to banks, and even imitating Todd in e-mails and phone calls--all in the name of love. When the alleged affair ended in 2012, Mark was released as an employee at the Chrisley Asset Management office, and Todd threatened to call the police
