Jennifer Shah pled guilty in court to wire fraud after initially claiming she was not guilty
Jennifer Shah is a well-known American television personality who is admired for both her beautiful appearance and her even more beautiful attitude.
She is most well-known for her part in the popular television series “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” She did a fantastic job on the performance, and the audience loved having her there.
Jennifer Shah, however, recently entered a guilty plea in her wire fraud case. In the case, Shah was also “charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, which has a maximum sentence of 20 years, and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing, through which they defrauded 10 or more victims over the age of 55.”
Shah first entered a not guilty plea, but after speaking with U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein on Monday, she revised her position.
She agreed to pay more than $9 million in reparations to the concerned victims as part of the plea deal. She also agreed to give up $6 million.
Shah stated in her statement: “I agreed to perpetrate wire fraud in 2012 through March 2021 in the Southern District of New York and elsewhere.”
It was wrong, and I knew it. I’m sorry; I was aware that many people had suffered. ” When questioned by the judge, she also acknowledged that she knew what she was doing was wrong and prohibited.
Shah acknowledged guilt in count one, so the court decided to dismiss count two, which carried a 20-year penalty. Now, in late November, she will be sentenced. She could receive a sentence of up to 14 years, which is still a concern.
“These criminals reportedly targeted and deceived hundreds of victims, but thanks to the hard work of the NYPD and our law enforcement partners, this illicit scheme was brought to a stop,” said NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea in a statement.
The “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” program featured Shah’s legal issues. Despite being apprehended, she seemed to feel sorry for what she did.
