Vivek Shah, 25, of West Hollywood, California, the man accused of trying to extort millions from several people, including West Virginia native and Foresight Reserves owner Chris Cline, was indicted last week in U.S. District Court in California on seven counts of mailing threatening communications. Shah, who was arrested August 10th at his father's Chicago home, has been held at Southern Regional Jail in Beaver since August 28th. Shah, an actor with numerous ties to the motion picture industry, was indicted August 21st on two counts of extortion and two counts of transmitting threatening messages with intent to extort in West Virginia's Southern District. Police say he sent a letter to Cline's Florida home in June that contained threats to kill several members of Cline's family, many of whom still live in Beckley, if he did not transfer $13 million to an offshore bank account. Cline was not among the seven victims listed in the California indictment.
