<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nOn Friday, the 47th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley at Graceland, Missouri police arrested a woman that federal prosecutors claim tried to steal the 13.8-acre mansion away from Presley\u2019s surviving family.<\/p>\n Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, is charged with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft. She faces from 2-20 years in prison.<\/p>\n Findley\u2019s scheme was foiled in May,<\/a> when actor Riley Keough obtained a restraining order<\/a> against a fraudulent public auction of Graceland. Keough inherited Graceland,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0along with the rest of her late grandfather\u2019s estate, through a trust after her mother, Lisa Marie Presley,\u00a0died in January 2023<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0at age 54.<\/p>\n After the court granted the order, the US Department of Justice untangled an elaborate plot involving forged signatures, fake identities, and a fraudulent foreclosure notice placed in a Memphis newspaper.<\/p>\n Prosecutors say Findley posed as three different individuals from a fictitious lending group, Naussany Investments, that claimed to have leant Lisa Marie $3.8 million in 2018 that she never repaid. That loan supposedly pledged Graceland as collateral.<\/p>\n On May, 23, a handwriting expert contacted by Casino.org<\/em> confirmed that the Lisa Marie signature affixed to the loan application form was forged.<\/a><\/p>\n When the bogus auction \u2014 notice of which Findley published in the Memphis Commercial Appeal<\/em> \u2014 made national headlines, Findley then \u201callegedly wrote to representatives of Elvis Presley\u2019s family, the Tennessee state court, and the media to claim falsely that the person responsible for the scheme was a Nigerian identity thief located in Nigeria,\u201d prosecutors said in a press statement.<\/p>\n Findley\u00a0is due to be arraigned later today in Kansas City, Mo.<\/p>\n But the story may not be over with the verdict in this case. An unnamed official with the Elvis estate told TMZ<\/em> they don\u2019t believe Findley will be the last domino to fall.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not believe (she) is the mastermind behind the scam,\u201d the official told the gossip site. \u201cStatements attributed to the woman arrested have pointed to someone who has a loose affiliation with the Elvis world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/graceland-dot-com-858x618.jpg\")
