Reality TV star Jen Shah was sentenced to 6-1/2 years in prison on Friday after pleading guilty to running a nationwide telemarketing scam that bilked elderly victims of tens of millions of dollars.
Standing before a packed courtroom in federal court in Manhattan, wearing a tan pantsuit and stiletto heels, Shah said through tears that she was “profoundly and deeply sorry” and had “deluded” herself into believing she was doing nothing wrong.Shah’s attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said in a statement after the hearing that her client intends to pay her debts to society and her victims.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement that Shah “finally faces the consequences of the many years she spent targeting vulnerable, elderly victims.”Shah, 49, began selling leads on people susceptible to scams to telemarketers around 2012 and later ran her own sales floor where underlings cold-called elderly victims offering bogus business opportunities, according to court documents.
