Savannah Chrisley, the reality television personality, announced her engagement and pregnancy with Jason Galanis, a 56-year-old convicted fraudster. According to court documents from his 2018 divorce, Galanis had over 100 million dollars in financial liabilities, including 37 million in restitution, separate forfeitures of 37 and 43 million dollars, and approximately 12 million in taxes. Galanis was convicted of defrauding the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation, a business arm of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, in a bond scheme where he allegedly pocketed over 8 million dollars for personal use. In March 2025, President Donald Trump commuted Galanis's prison sentence after he had served over 8 years. The commutation wiped away his restitution obligations. The White House stated that Galanis had accepted full responsibility for his conduct and expressed genuine remorse. Galanis and Todd Chrisley, Savannah's father, were imprisoned in the same federal facility and both received clemency from Trump.
