Teresa Giudice Keeps Spending Money She Doesn't Have Ignoring Her Legal Problems

Teresa Giudice legal problems are heating up as the New Jersey Housewife can't stop spending money that may not be obtained by  leagal means.  While prosecutors watch her every move collecting evidence to charge her and husband Joe with fraud, Teresa continues to open her wallet and make big purchases for herself and friends.

Teresa spends thousands of dollars on friend Nene Leakes though she has no money and is being accused of 39 counts of fraud while scrutinized by prosecutors. The latest purchase by Teresa was a wedding present which included expensive Hermes china for her fellow Bravo Housewife. 

"Teresa Giudice gave me Hermes plates," Nene Leakes told RadarOnline. "They were very expensive." This is a bad time for Teresa to be spending. Every move that she makes could become evidence in her court case which includes 39 counts of fraud. Teresa needs to mantain a low profile if she doesn't want to go to jail. But Giudice just can't help herself!

Since Joe and Teresa are accused of financial fraud, producers of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are being forced to submit all footage of their show that could contain crutial evidence that crimes were commited. 

Prosecutors have asked Bravo to hand over hours of unaired footage from 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' which includes hundreds hours of Joe and Teresa Giudice possibly committing their crimes.

"For every hour that airs, there are more than 20 hours of unedited footage," a source said. "They shoot for three months and end up using only the footage that fits into the story line they want to focus on. The network is not happy," says our source. Everyone is asking if 'Housewives' ruined Teresa. The real question is, will Teresa ruin 'Housewives'?"

Bravo executives are debating the future of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," on which Teresa is the focal point of the drama. The bad publicity by Teresa and husband Joe has been a nuisance for the Network.

The Giudices were charged with a whopping 39 counts of fraud. They included bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Joe is also accused of failing to file tax returns for 2004 through 2008.

Giudice, 41, and her husband, Joe, 43, were charged in July with exaggerating their income while applying for loans before the 2009 debut of their Bravo TV show, while hiding significant assets and income during a two-year bankruptcy proceeding.

Joe Giudice was also accused of failing to file federal tax returns from 2004 to 2008, according to federal prosecutors, who say he earned roughly $1 million during that time frame.

The couple entered not guilty pleas in August.

If convicted on the multiple fraud charges, each of the Giudices could serve more than 50 years in prison and be forced to pay more than $600,000 in fines.

Both remain free on $500,000 unsecured appearance bonds.

Joe Giudice, whose real first name is Giuseppe, is an Italian citizen. Thus, he could face deportation if he is convicted.

The Giudices, who live in Montville Township, N.J., are facing charges of exaggerating their income while applying for loans before their reality TV show debuted.

The duo also had their travel restricted to New Jersey and New York and had to surrender their passports.

The pattern of alleged fraud may have lasted a decade, ," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said.

"They're serious charges," he said.

 "They are alleged to have made false statements to the bankruptcy court and the banks that lent them money," Fishman told press.

They also failed to file tax returns from 2004-2008.

In a statement, Teresa Giudice discussed the charges.

"I support Joe and, as a wonderful husband and father, I know he wants only the best for our lovely daughters and me," she said. "I am committed to my family and intend to maintain our lives in the best way possible, which includes continuing my career. As a result, I am hopeful that we will resolve this matter with the government as quickly as possible."
