The government called her &#8220;the most culpable person&#8221; in the case as she had direct knowledge about what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the defendant&#8217;s direction, victims were defrauded over and over again until they had nothing left.

Shah \u2014 who was hoping for three years behind bars \u2014 was sentenced to 78 months.<\/p>\n<p>After, her attorney Chaudhry told Yahoo she &#8220;deeply regrets the mistakes that she has made and is profoundly sorry to the people she has hurt.
