US Attorney Damian Williams said Shah’s sentencing means she “finally faces the consequences of the many years she spent targeting vulnerable, elderly victims.” In a statement Damian Williams shared:

“These individuals were lured in by false promises of financial security, but in reality, Shah and her co-conspirators defrauded them out of their savings and left them with nothing to show for it. This conviction and sentence demonstrate once again that we will continue to vigorously protect victims of financial fraud and hold accountable those who engage in fraudulent schemes.”

As previously reported, after a consistent attempt of maintaining her alleged innocence, the 49-year-old was detained in March of 2021 for targeting and scamming folks out of their money with an alleged telemarketing scheme. Initially she pled not guilty but in July of 2022 she confessed to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing. As part of her deal, prosecutors dropped one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. The reality star faced up to 14 years in prison and would’ve possibly had to pay nine million in restitution to the victims of the crime.
