How RHOSLC Will Address Jen Shah’s Guilty Plea on Season 3

Filming or not, Jen is continuing to await sentencing. She faces a maximum of 30 years in prison and up to $9.5 million in fines and restitution, in addition to a $6 million forfeiture.

During the July 11 proceedings, Jen told the court that she had “agreed with others to commit with wire fraud” and “knew it misled” many victims, some of whom she said were over the age of 55. “[I] knew it was wrong,” Shah said during the hearing, per NBC News. “Many people were harmed and I’m so sorry.” 

The United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, issued a statement shortly after her plea change. “Jennifer Shah was a key participant in a nationwide scheme that targeted elderly, vulnerable victims,” he said, per a press release. “These victims were sold false promises of financial security but instead Shah and her co-conspirators defrauded them out of their savings and left them with nothing to show for it. This Office is committed to rooting out these schemes whatever form they take.”
