West Hollywood resident Vivek Shah was sentenced Wednesday to seven years and three months in federal prison for attempting to extort $13 million from West Virginia coal magnate Chris Cline and others.
The prison term for Shah, an aspiring actor with minor roles in “The Dark Knight” and “Our Family Wedding,” was agreed upon in his plea deal.
In May, Shah pleaded guilty to one count of transferring threatening communications in interstate commerce and seven counts of mailing or sending threatening communications through the mail.
Shan also targeted film producer Harvey Weinstein, Playtone film company owner Gary Goetzman, Relativity Media founder Ryan Kavanaugh, oil heiress Dannine Avara, Groupon co-founder Eric Lefkofsky and NHL Buffalo Sabres’ owner Terry Pegula.
And you do about 85% of the time. Say goodbye to Hollywood Vivek.
