Jen Shah Breaks Silence on Prison, Scam

0:00On April 1st, Jinsha, the former real housewives of Salt Lake City Star, just broke her silence after getting out of prison last December. She served 33 months for her part in a massive telemarketing scam that ripped off thousands, mostly seniors, through fake business services. She pled guilty to wire fraud and has to pay back over $6.5 million in restitution. Her original 78-month sentence got cut multiple times for good behavior. Back in March 2021, cameras caught her arrest right during filming of the show's second season. She denied everything at first, even on reunion episodes, but flipped to guilty in July 2022 after her assisting confessed. In her first post-Prison interview, Shah owned up to bad choices and ignoring red flags. She said she blurred lines between friendships and business, trusted the wrong folks, and should have been more careful. Still, she painted herself as mostly thinking she was helping with legit services under shady bosses. Shah tied it all to personal chaos during the scam.
