Why was 'Dance Moms' Abby Lee Miller in jail?

Abby Lee Miller, the dance instructor known for "Dance Moms," found herself in legal trouble when she was indicted by the Department of Justice in October 2015. Charged with 20 counts of bankruptcy fraud, she was accused of concealing income through a secret bank account and providing false information in her 2010 bankruptcy case. Facing a potential five-year prison term and $5 million in fines for allegedly hiding over $750,000, Miller pleaded not guilty. However, after an additional charge of importing over $120,000 without reporting it, she changed her plea to guilty in June 2016. Ultimately sentenced to 366 days in prison, two years of supervised release, and fines, Abby Lee Miller's legal issues stemmed from financial misconduct related to her bankruptcy case.
