NEW YORK – A Utah woman with a star role in “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” reality show pleaded not guilty Friday to charges accusing her of ripping off hundreds of people in a nationwide telemarketing scheme.
A federal judge in New York City also imposed tighter bail conditions for Jennifer Shah during a virtual hearing after a prosecutor suggested she was still hiding illicit proceeds from the alleged fraud and is a flight risk.
Agents searching her home found debit cards from the account of a shell company formed as part of the scheme, said Assistant U.S.
Attorney Kiersten Fletcher. “She’s not demonstrated a willingness to disclose her assets,” Fletcher said. Shah will remain free under an order to post a $1 million bond secured
