Shah and other participants in the scheme made an extensive, coordinated effort to trade in lists of potential victims, or "leads," many of whom had previously invested in internet business with other participants. Prosecutors claim that Shah started running a sales floor in Manhattan in 2017 that offered downstream "business opportunity" products to victims on lead lists. Between 2018 and 2020, Shaw oversaw the daily operations of the Manhattan sales floor. They claim she moved the sales floor to Kosovo to escape regulatory and law enforcement monitoring.
