The Woman Behind Fraudulent Graceland Estate Scheme Has Been Arrested

A woman named Lisa Jeanine Findley is at risk of spending 20 years in prison for identity theft and fraud after her attempt at scamming the Presley household over their Graceland property. The Missouri-based woman is now facing federal charges for posing as three different people to get millions of dollars and ownership interest in the estate.

Jeanine placed a legal claim on the property via Naussany Investments and Private Lending LLC, accusing Lisa Marie Presley of a $3.8 million debt owed to them before her passing. Thankfully, Lisa Marie’s daughters, Riley Keough and Priscilla Presley, found loopholes and fought against the fraudulent auction of their home.

Further accusation uncovered in Graceland estate scheme

Jeanine went as far as forging a deed of trust filing in Memphis and using a fake creditors claim in Los Angeles to appear believable and posted a foreclosure notice in a Memphis newspaper, The Commercial Appeal. She threatened to auction the estate on May 23 if the Presleys did not settle their loan.

US Postal Inspection Service Criminal Investigations Group Inspector in charge Eric Shen stated the obvious about the 53-year-old striking at a delicate time in the Presley household while Priscilla and Riley were in a legal battle over the storied estate.

Jeanine involved unsuspecting people in her scam

The accused, who is reportedly still in custody following a brief appearance at the federal court in Missouri, listed a certain Kimberly Philbrick as a notary on the lending company’s documents. Kimberly denied ever meeting Jeanine or notarizing any paperwork for her.

Jeanine likely forged Kimberly’s signature, as she also tried to frame a Nigerian as the identity thief once the law was on to her. The FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service have joined the Justice Department to investigate the allegations against Jeanine further.
