Vanessa Rigoriadis

She spent a couple years in prison.

But there is really so much more to it.

From what actually happened in this very complex, multi-layered crime, to who the

thousands of victims really were, to what it tells us about our society right now, from dropshipping to everybody trying to get rich online, to that just sneaking feeling you might have that everything is sort of a scam.

But first, back to Jen.

Jen Shaw was, of course, one of the real housewives of Salt Lake City.

She appeared in seasons one through three of the hit Bravo show, and she was arguably the group's ringleader.

She was certainly like the woman who was throwing the fuel on the fire.

She had long black hair, plump cheekbones, eyebrows that were as arch as her comments, and she was known to frequently yell and to point fingers, literally.

I mean, yes, that's quite foul-mouthed.

Jen is certainly extreme in both looks and personality.

It's like somebody upped the contrast on a picture.

I mean, you can just imagine her walking into a room and a reality TV producer going, her, I want her.

And if people want me not to lose my mind, I defend my family.

Jen dresses loudly, too.

Lots of ruffles, feathers, exotic prints.

She's so dramatic, which is perfect for the real Housewives franchise, a show that follows rich, dramatic married women as they often become

unmarried and sometimes less rich, but never less dramatic.

In fact, I think you could argue that no one in Housewife's history would ever turn out to be as dramatic as Jen Shah.

So what was Jen Shah actually doing?
