Ralph and Karen Guastaferro joins Balloon Boy in post Wife Swap trouble.

Ralph and Karen Guastaferro of Amherst came to fame in January last year for their appearance on Wife Swap in which Angie Boss from Indiana went to join Ralph and Alicia.

Now Ralph, 62, and Karen, 55, have confessed to laundering $1.2 million in a Canadian telemarketing scheme. He faces 46-57 months and she faces 16 months. They have pleaded guilty to felony charges.

But the bigger crime? Letting Alicia have not one, not two, but three cellphones on the trainwreck episode of Wife Swap.

Wife Swap said of the family the following:

“New York mom Karen Guastaferro (54) has made her home fit for a queen — a pageant queen that is. A former pageant contestant herself, Karen waits on her daughter Alicia (15) hand and foot. Their home is a shrine to beauty, pageant trophies and sparkle. Alicia has been winning pageants since she was 11 months old and says she “feels sorry for anyone who’s not gorgeous.”
