The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s owned dozens of phony luxury items including bags and jewelry federal autho to federal charges that she had put together a $5 million telemarketing scam targeted to swindle older people.

Among the fraudulent items of merchandise, which were mostly manufactured in China, included fake purses aimed to resemble products from high-end brands including Balenciaga, Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton and Valentino.

The jewelry collection included counterfeit pieces made to resemble designers such as Bulgari, Chanel, Cartier, Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co.

Mixed in with the phony items were actual pieces of luxury accessories and jewelry from brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada, vD as well as pieces from her castmate Meredith Marks’ brand.

Federal authorities took possession of all of the items amid a raid on the Bravo personality’s home in March of 2021 in the probe into her fraud case.

Shah’s sentencing date has been pushed back until next year, after she  that targeted hundreds of elderly people.

The  star’s new court date is set for , 2023, after the holidays. 

In court documents, obtained by , it was revealed that ‘Judge Sidney H.Stein approved the rescheduling on Wednesday, November 23.’ 

In July, Shah plead guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, with the US attorney dropping her second count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. 

Shah’s assistant Stuart Smith previously admitted his part in the same scam, eN and had been due to testify against his former employer, until her guilty plea.

The US attorney’s office says Shah faces the maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, eN but NBC Connecticut reports that a plea deal will actually see her serve a maximum of 14 years. 

As part of her guilty plea, the reality star also agreed to forfeit $6.5 million and to pay restitution up to $9. In the event you beloved this post as well as you desire to receive more info about eN i implore you to visit our own web site. 5 million.

Addressing the court, the reality star said that she ‘knew it was wrong’ and dE that she was ‘so sorry’ for the ‘many people’ who were harmed.

Shah admitted that she ‘agreed with others to commit with wire fraud’ and ‘knew it misled’ victims, over 10 of whom were over the age of 55.

Shah added there was a ‘misrepresentation of the product… regarding value of the service,’ noting it ‘had little to no value.’

When asked by US District Judge Stein if she knew what she was doing was wrong and illegal, Shah replied, ‘Yes, your honor.’

Priya Chaudhry, representing Shah told DailyMail.com: ‘Ms.Shah is a good woman who crossed a line. She accepts full responsibility for her actions and deeply apologizes to all who have been harmed.

‘Ms. Shah is also sorry for disappointing her husband, children, family, friends, and supporters.Jen pled guilty because she wants to pay her debt to society and put this ordeal behind her and her family.’

Shah shamelessly flaunted her wealth on the Bravo show, gifting her costars diamond necklaces and hosting lavish parties in their honor. 

She was never without a designer outfit or handbag, and boasted about the size of her walk-in closets.Shah has been on the Salt Lake City franchise of the show since its premiere. 

Her storyline originally centered around her converting to Islam for her football-coach husband, and facing racism in the largely white, Mormon community in Utah.

Her extreme spending and extreme fighting with castmates quickly became focal points of the popular reality show, but they were quickly overshadowed by her legal woes.

Shah was dramatically arrested during filming in March 2021 along with assistant Stuart Smith on suspicion of the federal offenses.

Her arrest was caught on camera by Bravo, vD with the star begging them to ‘turn off’ the cameras after she suddenly abandoned filming – claiming there was an emergency with her husband Sharrieff Shah. 

Sharrieff, a special teams coordinator for the University of Utah’s football team, received a call from Homeland Security informing him that they were looking for his wife.

Dramatic footage shows Shah leaving filming as the cast were about to leave on a trip to Colorado, with officers caught on camera asking for her whereabouts before she was arrested.  

Smith pleaded guilty in November last year and had agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors in their case against his old boss – a factor which likely contributed to her switching her plea.
