Who is Kelly Mi Li’s ex-husband and what happened to him?

As hinted at in Bling Empire, Kelly was once married to Lin Miao, a founder and CEO of a texting company who was arrested for “running one of the largest cyber scams in American history” roughly 10 years ago. According to the Federal Trade Commission’s website and the Los Angeles Business Journal, Lin and his co-conspirators conducted a multi-million-dollar scam to charge text message services on consumers’ bills without their permission.

The FTC complaint alleged that Lin and his partners used deceptive websites to collect consumers’ phone numbers to bill them for the services. Customers were charged a rate of $9.99 per month and the charges were often concealed in a confusing form. When consumers tried to seek refunds, some of the promised refunds never came through or customers only received partial refunds. Per the FBI, Lin and his co-conspirators’ fraud scheme amassed in excess of $50 million, which was used to finance their lavish lifestyles.

According to The Sun, Lin pled guilty and received supervised released for his cooperation with authorities. Kelly filed for divorce from Lin in November 2014. In May 2015, their divorce was finalized. According to Kelly, the couple’s assets were frozen and they gave the government roughly $168 million.

“I moved to Los Angeles for two reasons: One, is to run away from a boy. Two, is to chase a boy,” Kelly explained on the show before opening up about Andrew. ” … he has a great heart. He’s very honest. [With] a lot of my past relationships, trust has always been an issue.”
