Lisa Jeanine Findley, 54, is sentenced to prison for four years and nine months for a comprehensive fraud attempt. With the help of forged documents, she claimed that Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley had borrowed $3.8 million from a company linked to her, a few years before her death in January 2023.

Then she threatened to sell Elvis Presley's home and current museum Graceland in Memphis – if Presley's heirs did not pay her to resolve the loan.

The sale was stopped first when Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, Hollywood star Riley Keough, went to court and the fraud attempt could be exposed.

Elvis Presley lived at Graceland from 1957 until his death in 1977. Since 1982, it has been a museum that attracts more than 650,000 visitors per year.
