Missouri Woman Nabbed for Graceland Scam
A 53-year-old Missouri woman was arrested today for allegedly trying to swindle millions from Elvis Presley’s family—and hijack the iconic Graceland mansion itself.
Lisa Jeanine Findley’s Shocking Fraud Plot
Lisa Jeanine Findley of Kimberling City faces federal charges including mail fraud and aggravated identity theft. Authorities say she used fake identities in a tangled scheme targeting the Presley estate. Findley was hauled in this morning and will appear in court soon in Missouri’s Western District.
Fake Loan, Forged Documents, and a Bogus Foreclosure
- Findley pretended to represent a phony lender called Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC.
- She claimed Elvis’s daughter took out a $3.8 million loan in 2018, using Graceland as collateral—and then skipped on repayments.
- To cash in, Findley allegedly demanded $2.85 million from the Presley family.
- Investigators say she forged loan papers, including Elvis’s daughter’s signature and those of a Florida notary.
- False legal claims were filed in California and Tennessee courts, plus a fake foreclosure notice hit a Memphis newspaper announcing a Graceland auction.
Official Responses and Potential Jail Time
“The defendant orchestrated a fraudulent sale scheme claiming Elvis Presley’s daughter pledged Graceland as loan collateral and defaulted,” said Nicole M. Argentieri, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General.
U.S. Attorney Kevin G. Ritz slammed the plot as “a brazen scheme to defraud the Presley family of a landmark with huge significance.”
After worldwide media buzz, Findley tried to dodge blame by finger-pointing at a Nigerian identity thief.
The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service cracked the case. If convicted, Findley could face at least two years behind bars for identity theft—and up to 20 years for mail fraud.
