Jen Shah — a star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” — has been sentenced to six years and six months in prison for her role in a years-long telemarketing scam. NBC News first reported the sentencing.
On July 11, Shah pleaded guilty to the fraud charges against her, and agreed to make restitution of more than 9 million to her victims. She also agreed to forfeit 6.5 million to the government.
