The ABC News-produced documentary “The Housewife’s Scam: The Real Life of Jen Shah” — now streaming on Hulu — does a good job of explaining Shah's fraud scheme — how it ensnared people, and what her role in it was.
Jennifer Shah leaves federal court in New York, Friday, Jan. 6, 2023. A judge has sentenced the member of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" to 6 1/2 years in prison for helping to defraud thousands of people nationwide in a telemarketing scam. Shah, who sobbed Friday as she apologized for her crimes prior to the announcement of the sentence in a New York courtroom, admitted her guilt last July.
Tricia, who suffers from congestive heart failure, says she is “just recovering from being in deep depression. You get to the point where there is no way out. … I don’t have the money to take care of myself.” Another victim was a 92-year-old World War II veteran who lost more than $100,000 — and then took his own life. According to the documentary, his family believes the scam “contributed to his death.” And, according to prosecutors, there are believed to be thousands of victims.
“In court, when Jen Shah’s attorney tried to distance her from the scheme,” says Katersky, “saying that she never met any of her victims, the judge interjected and said, ‘Well, that’s because she was too high up in the scheme to bother to deal with any of the actual people.’” The text messages also included Shah telling others involved in the scheme to keep quiet, and to lie to investigators. She also joked about the suffering of some victims.
