Savannah Chrisley’s husband Jason Galanis fighting for $2M meant for his fraud victims

Key Points:

• Jason Galanis, husband of Savannah Chrisley, is appealing a judge's denial to recover $2.17 million confiscated by the federal government for victims of his fraud schemes, with a federal appeals court hearing scheduled for November 13.
• Galanis' attorneys argue the government has no legitimate claim to the funds, which they say should be returned to him, claiming the money originated from real estate purchased before the fraud and was not criminally obtained.
• The legal dispute follows President Donald Trump's 2025 commutation of Galanis' prison sentence, which eliminated his obligation to pay further restitution to victims of his multimillion-dollar fraud schemes.
• Galanis was convicted for manipulating stock and diverting millions from a Native American tribal bond issuance, causing approximately $80 million in losses, and was ordered to pay over $80 million in restitution but paid less than $2,000 while incarcerated.
• The case remains unresolved regarding whether the $2.17 million has been distributed to victims, coinciding with ongoing public interest in Galanis' relationship with Savannah Chrisley, who secretly married him in July 2025.
