Her lawyer, Randy Zelin, said Schiff “will now work to show the court and the world that she has not only accepted responsibility, but she is remorseful. She is humbled. She is prepared to do everything to right the wrongs.” Meanwhile, she lived lavishly and accumulated substantial debts by cheating at least 12 clients, an artist, the estate of another artist and a gallery of at least $6.5 million, they said.
“All of this was funded with stolen monies,” the lawyers wrote, saying she duped clients by saying she considered them family and repeatedly telling them she loved them while treating their money as “her personal piggy bank.”
