Todd Chrisley flew to LA twice a month to get his hair done, but had no money to pay his bills, former business partner said

• Todd Chrisley traveled from Atlanta to LA twice a month to get his hair cut, his former partner testified.

• Chrisley is accused of a bank and tax fraud scheme. They deny the charges.

• The jury heard about his hair care trips.

When Todd Chrisley was in debt, he traveled from Atlanta to Los Angeles twice a month to get his hair cut and colored, his former business partner testified.

Todd and Julie Chrisley, who star in the USA Network reality series "Chrisley Knows Best," are accused of evading taxes and operating a conspiracy to defraud banks by making it appear that they were wealthier than they were.

The Chrisleys hid money from the IRS after the banks caught on to them, and Todd Chrisley filed for bankruptcy after walking away from $20 million in debt.

Mark Braddock, who told the FBI that he committed bank fraud on behalf of Todd Chrisley, Julie Chrisley, and himself, testified about the couple's extravagant spending habits Monday in an Atlanta federal courtroom.

The assistant US Attorney asked why the Chrisleys were strapped for cash.

When Chrisley's foreclosure management business was doing better than ever, the couple was spending more than they were making.

He said that they had high American Express bills and had three maids working five days a week.

Two jurors dropped their mouths open in disbelief when they heard that Chrisley would travel to California and stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel for his hair appointments.

The Chrisleys were approved for loans from community banks despite the fact that they had less money in the bank. The new loans would be used to pay off the old loans until he was cut off. They received at least $60 million in loans from banks.

He said that he needed $500,000 to $600,000 a month to stay afloat.

The loan scheme fell apart when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control of many of the community banks that the Chrisleys were defrauding.

He and Todd Chrisley began calling Julie Chrisley because she was running around town trying to get bills paid.

The Chrisleys deny the charges and say that the tax evasion was the result of a sloppy accountant.

They say the bank fraud was committed by Braddock, who was obsessed with Todd Chrisley and pretended to be him.

On Monday, he denied that he was obsessed and said the only times he impersonated Todd on the phone, or signed his signature, was at his direction.

He said they were in a personal, intimate relationship.

The jury was shown emails between Todd Chrisley and Braddock in which they discussed how to best create personal financial statements that met the standards of the lender.

He used numbers and signatures from a variety of documents to piece together the records. They submitted claims that they lost rental income on properties they owned in Florida, even though they did not lose money.

Chrisley's account was made to look like it had no money.

Chrisley replied that he was a "fuck genious"

He said that Todd and Julie Chrisley were involved in the fraud.

Todd Chrisley yelled at him that he was going to have him prosecuted for fraud when he came to work.

Braddock denied on Monday that he stole money from the Chrisleys.

Even though he knew it was fraud, Braddock created fake documents for the couple.

He asked me to give him money, and I did it.
