As we reported back in 2014, former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dana Wilkey was arrested and surrendered to the F.B.I. due to wire fraud charges. Now, Wilkey has reached a deal in her criminal case.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Wilkey pled guilty to Count One of Misprision of a Felony on March 15th.
The former Bravo reality star was arrested along with two associates on June 18, 2014. According to the FBI, she was indicted with “conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud and aiding and abetting, and [making] false statements to government agents.”
Wilkey was president of the company Adwil Agency, which is a Blue Shield Vendor.
“Between in or about February 2006 through at least February 2012, Dana Wilkey, through Adwil Agency accounts, paid directly to Lissa Phoenix, Skylar Phoenix, and Rodeo Pink, approximately 87 checks totaling approximately $360,000 in illegal and undisclosed kickbacks related to Adwil Agency’s business with Blue Shield,” the release charged.
Law enforcement believes Wilkey should have known the arrangement would be fraudulent if not properly approved.
Wilkey faces up to 20 years in prison for each wire and conspiracy count.
