As OK! previously reported, the reality couple was found guilty for creating fake bank documents in order to secure up to $30 million in loans.

Additionally, both Todd and Julie hid money from the IRS after having "burned through" their savings by splurging on expensive items they could not afford, according to claims made in court by lawyer Annalise Peters.
