In July 2022, Shahentered a guilty pleaafter she and her assistant Stuart Smithwere arrestedin March 2021 for their roles ina long-running nationwide telemarketing scheme. They both originally pled not guilty after they were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

“Accountability goes a long way in our circle,” she explained. “If you say, ‘Look, I screwed up and I made a mistake and I’m sorry’ — that matters. If she’s taking accountability and doing what she needs to do to make it better, that’s the best she can do right now. There’s nothing else she can do beyond that.”

“We’re human. We all do things that we’re not proud of that are wrong at times,” she continued. “This is a big one, obviously; it’s a bad one. But she’s in prison. She’s serving her time.She’s paying restitution. I mean, she’s not earning a ton of money, but she’s doing what she can. And that’s all a big price to pay. I don’t know what more you can ask from her.”
