Authorities announced that Jennifer Shah, 47, of Park City, Utah, and Stuart Smith, 43, of Lehi, Utah, were arrested Tuesday in Utah on charges unsealed in New York City.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said Shah portrays herself as a wealthy and successful businessperson on television while Smith is cast as her first assistant. But Strauss says their “so-called business opportunities” they pushed on their victims were actually fraud schemes motivated by greed.
Shah’s attorney Sam Meziani declined comment as he exited the court with Shah, who remained silent.
