Background[edit]
Series follows the Brown family as they build lives together off the grid in Alaska before moving to Washington state in the most recent season.
Billy has a criminal history of horse theft in 1980.[9]
Ami has a criminal history of welfare fraud.[10]
Residency issues[edit]
On October 3, 2014, following an investigation by the Alaska Department of Revenue, a Juneau grand jury indicted the Browns with 60 counts of first-degree unsworn falsification regarding Permanent Fund Dividend forms for their residency and first- and second-degree theft that took place between 2009 and 2012.[11] Billy was charged with 24 of those counts, which occurred from 2010 to 2013 as well as for the theft of more than $21,000 in dividend money for himself and others.[11] The charges meant that the state believed the family spent more than 180 days a year living outside of Alaska and lied about it on their applications.[11] On November 18, 2015, Billy and Joshua struck a plea deal for the whole family except Matt and Rain (Matt wasn't living there and didn't file and Rain was too young). They pled guilty for the rest of the family for lying on PFD forms.[12] Billy and Joshua's punishment for stealing over $21,000 dollars was restitution, fines and 30 days of house arrest at a Juneau hotel that had room service and a swimming pool.
Some of them also got tickets for fishing without a proper license. They had bought resident licenses when they weren't residents. They haven't been legal residents since before 2008.
They bought land with a house in Colorado in January 2016. They also purchased land near Loomis Washington in February 2018.
