A Dallas, Texas, woman who operated an online business has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after being convicted in a murder-for-hire scheme. Ashley Grayson, 35, gained notoriety through her internet-based business and online presence, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Tennessee.
Grayson, who described herself on Instagram as a bestseller, eight-figure business coach, course creator, and philanthropist, found herself embroiled in a disturbing plot in 2021. Following a falling out with a woman from Southaven, Mississippi, who ran a similar online business, Grayson believed she was the target of fake online profiles created by the other woman to criticize her and her business.
