A Missouri woman has pleaded guilty to a shameless scheme to sell off Graceland, the Tennessee estate that Elvis Presley once called home.
On Tuesday, Lisa Jeanine Findley pleaded guilty to a single count of mail fraud after being caught for concocting a plot that included a phony investment company, forged documents, fake court filings and a fraudulent foreclosure auction.
The audacious conspiracy came to light last May after Findley, posing as the nonexistent company Naussany Investments, put up a public notice for a foreclosure sale. The bogus investment group claimed that Presley’s late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, had offered the estate as collateral for a $3.8 million loan which she had failed to pay back before her death in January 2023.
Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, actor Riley Keough, swiftly sued to stop the auction, which a judge agreed to halt.

After the sale was blocked, Finley tried to pass the blame by emailing multiple media outlets posing as several different imaginary Naussany Investments executives who claimed they were members of a ring of Nigerian identity thieves.
Findley was arrested in August after a paper trail of fraudulent loan documents led the FBI back to her.
Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti thanked federal investigators and prosecutors for cracking the case in a statement to the press, where he noted how “Graceland matters so much to so many people around the world.”
“All of Tennessee is glad that Graceland remains safely in the possession of Elvis’s heir and that it will remain a celebrated Memphis landmark for generations to come.”
Findley had a long history of being behind various types of fraud, ranging from romance scams to forged checks to bank fraud totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to court records obtained by NBC News.

She is scheduled to be sentenced June 18. While mail fraud carries a maximum of 20 years in prison, prosecutors have recommended a sentence of just under five years.
