Nicole Argentieri, head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, stated, "The defendant orchestrated a scheme to conduct a fraudulent sale of Graceland, falsely claiming that Elvis Presley's daughter had pledged the historic landmark as collateral for a loan that she failed to repay before her death."
The Justice Department revealed that Findley fabricated loan documents, forging the signatures of Elvis Presley's daughter and a Florida State notary public, in a deceitful maneuver.
"Findley allegedly threatened to sell Graceland to the highest bidder if Presley's family didn't pay a $2.85 million settlement," detailing the extreme tactics used in the fraud.
Eric Shen highlighted the opportunistic nature of the crime, saying, "Ms. Findley allegedly took advantage of the very public and tragic occurrences in the Presley family as an opportunity to prey on the name and financial status of the heirs to the Graceland estate."
