A woman from Missouri has been arrested for allegedly attempting to defraud Elvis Presley's family by trying to auction off his Graceland mansion and property. The Justice Department stated that the scheme was stopped by a judge before the foreclosure sale could take place. Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, of Kimberling City, Missouri, is accused of falsely claiming that Presley's daughter had borrowed $3.8 million from a fake private lender and used Graceland as collateral for the loan. She pretended to be three individuals associated with the fake lender, forged loan documents, demanded $2.85 million from Presley's family to settle the issue, and published a fake foreclosure notice in a Memphis newspaper, announcing the auction of Graceland. Graceland, which became a museum and tourist spot in 1982, attracts numerous visitors annually. The property also includes a large Presley-themed entertainment complex owned by Elvis Presley Enterprises. The charges against Findley were announced on the 47th anniversary of Presley's death. U.S. Postal Inspection Service Criminal Investigations Group inspector Eric Shen stated that Findley had exploited the tragic events in the Presley family to try to steal from them for her own benefit. Findley, who went by multiple aliases, did not have a listed attorney in court documents. Attempts to reach her via phone and email were unsuccessful. Experts were puzzled by the audacious attempt to sell one of the most iconic pieces of real estate in the country using fabricated names, emails, and documents.In May, a public notice revealed that the Promenade Trust, which oversees the Graceland museum, is in debt of $3.8 million as a result of defaulting on a loan from 2018. Riley Keough, Presley's granddaughter and an actress, inherited ownership of the estate following the passing of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, last year. Keough filed a lawsuit alleging fraud, leading a judge to temporarily stop the planned auction through an injunction. Naussany Investments and Private Lending claimed that Lisa Marie Presley had used Graceland as collateral for the loan, as stated in the foreclosure sale notice. Keough's lawsuit argued that Naussany falsified documents related to the loan in September 2023 and that Lisa Marie Presley never borrowed money from Naussany. Notary Kimberly Philbrick, whose name appeared on Naussany's documents, stated that she had never met Lisa Marie Presley nor notarized any documents for her, according to the lawsuit filed by the estate. Judge Jenkins noted that the notary's statement raised doubts about "the authenticity of the signature." Moreover, in May, a judge intervened to stop the foreclosure sale of the iconic Memphis attraction, Graceland, suggesting that Elvis Presley's estate may have a case in proving that the auction of the property was fraudulent. The Tennessee attorney general's office, which had been looking into the Graceland situation, later revealed in June that the investigation had been handed over to federal authorities. A statement sent to The Associated Press after the judge's decision indicated that Naussany would not proceed further, citing that a crucial document and the loan were obtained and recorded in a different state, necessitating legal actions to be taken in multiple states. The statement, which was sent from an email address found in court documents, did not specify the other state. Additionally, an email received on May 25 by the AP from the same address claimed in Spanish that the attempted foreclosure sale was orchestrated by a Nigerian fraudulent group targeting elderly and deceased individuals.The individual in the United States utilizes the Internet to unlawfully obtain money.
