A woman from Missouri has been arrested for allegedly planning to defraud Elvis Presley's family by attempting to auction off his Graceland mansion and property. The Justice Department revealed on Friday that Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, from Kimberling City, Missouri, is being accused of falsely stating that Presley's daughter borrowed $3.8 million from a fake private lender and used Graceland as collateral. She pretended to be three different individuals associated with the fake lender, created fake loan documents, attempted to extort $2.85 million from Presley's family to resolve the issue, and placed a fake foreclosure notice in a Memphis newspaper announcing the auction of Graceland to the highest bidder. Graceland, which opened as a museum and tourist attraction in 1982 and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people annually, remains a significant location. A major entertainment complex related to Presley is located nearby and is owned by Elvis Presley Enterprises. The charges were announced on the 47th anniversary of Presley's passing at the age of 42. According to Eric Shen, the inspector in charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service Criminal Investigations Group, it is believed that Ms. Findley exploited the public and tragic events surrounding the Presley family to take advantage of their reputation and wealth. An attorney representing Findley, who used multiple aliases, was not identified in court records. Calls and emails to contact Findley have gone unanswered as investigators uncovered that the names, emails, and documents used in the scheme appeared to be fake. Experts were perplexed by the attempt to sell one of the most famous real estate properties in the country using apparent false identities and documents."In May, a public notice announced a foreclosure sale of the 13-acre (5-hectare) estate owned by Promenade Trust, which operates the Graceland museum. The trust owed $3.8 million due to the failure to repay a loan from 2018. Riley Keough, the granddaughter of Presley and an actor, inherited the trust and ownership of the home following the passing of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, the previous year. Keough filed a lawsuit alleging fraud, prompting a judge to issue an injunction halting the planned auction. Naussany Investments and Private Lending claimed that Lisa Marie Presley had used Graceland as collateral for the loan, as indicated in the foreclosure notice. Keough's lawsuit contended that Naussany had presented fraudulent documents related to the loan in September 2023 and that Lisa Marie Presley had never borrowed money from Naussany. Kimberly Philbrick, the notary listed on Naussany's documents, stated that she had not met Lisa Marie Presley nor notarized any of her documents, according to the estate's lawsuit. Judge Jenkins remarked that the notary's affidavit raised doubts about "the authenticity of the signature." In May, the judge halted the foreclosure sale of the iconic Memphis tourist attraction, suggesting that Elvis Presley's estate could make a strong case that the auction of Graceland by a certain company was fraudulent. The Tennessee attorney general's office had been looking into the Graceland situation, and in June, it was confirmed that the probe had been handed over to federal authorities. Following the judge's decision to stop the sale, a statement sent to The Associated Press mentioned that Naussany would not proceed due to a crucial document and the loan being recorded and acquired in a different state, requiring legal action in multiple states. The statement, sent from an email address found in court documents, did not specify the other state. An email sent on May 25 to the AP from the same address noted in Spanish that the attempted foreclosure sale was orchestrated by a Nigerian fraud group targeting elderly and deceased individuals.The individual residing in the United States utilizes the Internet for the purpose of unlawfully obtaining money.
