Apparently Chrisley DOESN'T know best

Todd and Julie Chrisley could be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison

These people just kill me... it appears they ran a ponzi scheme to create a reality show to make money to pay back the ponzi scheme and create more ponzi schemes....

I am sure he will come through prison just fine...

 

[harleytech]

Yep, I'm sure it will be a country club prison too..

Next up..... Why Bitcoin is really just a Ponzi scheme.....

I'd only ever seen commercials for that show and absolutely could not for the life of me imagine what about it could've been interesting enough to dedicate an entire half an hour to, much less multiple seasons of.

Now I want to watch the show. With this new context, it's much more palatable.

Crisley's show is basically a modern recreation of the Ozzie and Harriet sitcom, but he's also a tax cheat and a fraud.

I was curious enough to tune in for a few minutes on a couple separate occasions.
I couldn’t take any more than that.
To this moment I have absolutely no idea what it was about.

There is a large part of the population that thrive on the (fake) drama of other people's lives. All those 'Real Housewifes of...' shows are a good example. Then they have shows discussing these fake shows with more fake drama thrown in. People don't realize how expensive it is to shoot any TV show, every word and action has to be scripted - nothing real about them.

A few times I caught my estranged wife's bingeing on RHO...Putting a gang of women in a room with several bottles of pinot and watch them go looked real to me. If they were acting, they were very good at it.

I have no idea who they are. However if they're "reality" TV stars I'm glad to hear they're going to prison.

no clue about them. but, we have some family members (by marriage) who sound like them. They have businesses in texas and oklahoma, but all of it was propped up by borrowing and investors etc... when it all collapsed one of the sons took the rap and did 3 years for embezzlement or something. Some of the investors stayed on the hook and it wiped them out...

quick money has a price!

Good prep for a career in politics
