YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJen Shah, a former star on “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” was released from federal prison earlier this week, after serving less than 3 years of her 6.5 year sentence. Shah pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud with telemarketing back in 2022. At the time, the DOJ claimed from at least 2012 until her arrest years later in March 2021, she was behind a nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme that amassed thousands of victims. Prosecutors said that her ruse targeted vulnerable and elderly people, and they “were defrauded over and over again until they had nothing left.” In a February 2024 letter to People Magazine, she wrote “In my daily prayers, I ask God for the courage to realize I am worthy of a second chance,” and added "I am finding the courage to set my fear and guilt aside." Shah was released from a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas to community confinement, where she will serve out the rest of her sentence at home or a halfway house. Criminal defense attorney Lauren Johnson-Norris joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss.
