A Nigerian fraudster has claimed responsibility for a scheme to steal Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion and sell it at auction, according to a report.
An identity thief has purportedly come forward and claimed responsibility for the audacious scheme to gain control of Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion and sell it at auction, according to a report by The New York Times. The publication reported that a person it has been corresponding with via email admitted to being the ringleader of the plot. The plot reportedly involved a crew of other fraudsters and ultimately failed in court last week but is still shrouded in mystery.
According to the Times, the email writer admitted the group turned its attention to Graceland as far back as September, eight months after Lisa Marie Presley’s death. Naussany Investments filed papers in a California probate court posting what it said was Lisa Marie Presley’s 2018 debt. The filing included a deed of trust with a signature it claimed was Lisa Marie Presley’s, with Graceland put forward as collateral.
Attorney Jeffrey Germany, who represents Keough, filed a complaint with the court regarding the authenticity of the purported deed of trust. Germany submitted an affidavit that says the purported notary did not notarize the signature of Lisa Marie on the purported deed of trust and had never met Lisa Marie Presley.
