A Missouri woman has pleaded guilty in connection to an attempted plot to steal Elvis Presley's Graceland estate. Lisa Findley forged the signatures of Lisa Marie Presley and Florida notary Kimberly Philbrick in order to claim that Elvis's daughter had not paid back a loan that listed Graceland as collateral. In May 2024, public notices were filed stating that Graceland would be auctioned, but this was stopped at the eleventh hour. Findley faces a 57-month federal prison sentence for what prosecutors called a "brazen scheme."

A federal grand jury will start hearing evidence this month about the scam to steal the Graceland estate from Elvis Presley's family, NBC News reports. The scheme involved a company called Naussany Investments, which claimed that Lisa Marie Presley owned millions of dollars in unpaid loans before she died. While a person claiming to represent the scammers told the press they were Nigerian identity thieves, NBC followed the "Naussany" trail to a small town in Missouri and woman named Lisa Holden. Here's more.

I just... Who thought this was a good idea?

In case you're wondering, I lost my mom almost a month ago and she loved Elvis. We bonded over Elvis movies and Elvis records when I was a kid (also David Bowie, believe it or not). She would have loved the drama around this story.

Update: A judge has blocked the sale of Graceland after a notary said the signature on a deed of trust wasn't hers. The document purportedly showed that the late Lisa-Marie Presley had borrowed $3.8 million from a company called Naussany Investments, giving Graceland as security. Here are details from ABC.

This’ll be in my head all day now.

#Graceland

It’s a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art
Think of the Boy In The Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby
