"Dance Moms" choreographer and studio owner faced charges after defrauding her bankruptcy. Abby Lee Miller may have been on the headlines over the past week, but this did not stop the dance coach from showing up during "Dance Moms" Season 6 episode 2.
As per International Business Times, the Lifetime reality show choreographer continued shooting the "Dance Moms" season 6 over the weekend.
Miller and her students participated in New York Dance Experience in Calabasas California last Saturday. The team however didn't do well in their second performance. Her elite junior team may have aced the 1st episode but they ranked second overall during the second episode. They placed first in the senior division for Janine the Machine's 'Animal' performance.
Aside from landing second for the overall performance for her elite junior team, Kendall Vertes solo performance didn't do well either. Vetres only placed third in the junior division for her "In the Mirror" performance.

On the other hand, Abby Lee Miller arraignment is on November 5. Atty. Dave Hickton, a United Stated attorney, stated that the studio owner will be facing charges for bankruptcy fraud, false bankruptcy declarations, and concealment of bankruptcy assets. Miller can face up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 fine for each count of indictment. United States Department of Justice then gave out details in regards to the lawsuit.
As per Atty. Hickton, "Criminal prosecution is appropriate when debtors corrupt the bankruptcy process through deceit and lies before the court."
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pittsburgh Division, Scott Smith pointed out that the lawsuit is a serious criminal case stating:
"Federal bankruptcy proceedings can be a lifesaver for honest individuals overwhelmed by debt resulting from any number of legitimate reasons, but allegations of fraud and abuse threaten the integrity of the bankruptcy process and the public's trust in it. We take our responsibility to pursue allegations of bankruptcy fraud seriously."
