Dina Wein Reis
Although she's apparently back on the scene, socialite and "businesswoman" Dina Wein Reis was arrested in 2008 on counts of conspiracy and wire fraud, after running a product diversion ring for over a decade. She would cold call execs at million dollar companies, convince them to send her free products so she could introduce them to lucrative new markets, but instead sell them for profit. When the FBI finally raided one of her high-end homes, they apparently bagged an art collection worth $35 million. She was ordered to pay $7 million in restitution, and serve 31 months of a possible 5 year sentence, when she pleaded guilty in 2011.
