In June 2022, Todd and Julie were found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud totaling $30 million.
Todd, who is housed at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, accused guards of “starving” prisoners and serving outdated food during an interview with NewsNation.

In addition, the father of five noted that he was not allowed to communicate verbally with his wife.
He told reporter Brian Entin: “It's devastating.
“You know she and I email four or five times a day, but they'll save my emails and keep them on her end, and that's also a way to punish us for what Savannah does.”
In November, Todd's attorney told TMZ that he was in a “state of distress” as he prepared to spend the holidays without his loved ones.
While languishing behind bars, Todd would see himself on a divine mission and provide personal guidance to other inmates.
His lawyer has revealed that Todd will appear in court again in March, after which his lawyers will once again attempt to overturn his conviction.
