What was Jen Shah's initial case verdict? RHOSLC star's prison sentence reduced by 1 year 

Jen Shah’s 6.5-year long jail sentence (78 months) for her fraud telemarketing scheme has been reduced by one year.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' inmate database, she will now be released from prison on August 30, 2028, instead of August 30, 2029. Jen’s representative has recently revealed that the RHOSLC star is “committed towards making her victims whole” and “has initiated her payments towards restitution.”

The representative added that they hope Jen returns home soon to put this chapter behind her. She will, however, be supervised for five years post her release and will have to go to a mental health treatment program as mentioned by the judge so that she does not “end up committing another crime.”.

Jen Shah was arrested in March 2021 along with her assistant Stuart Smith while filming season 2 of RHOSLC.

Both were charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing, where they generated and sold lead lists of innocent citizens, mostly over the age of 55, to scam them.

According to the lawyers, the “so-called business opportunities pushed on the victims by Shah, Smith, and their co-conspirators” were fraud schemes so that they could steal their money.

Jen Shah changed her plea from not guilty to guilty on July 11, 2022. Her sentence began on February 17, 2023.
