Rather than keep up the charade, DS agreed to fork over $35k to her creditors to help settle her debts ... and avoid any nasty consequences. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If she didn't settle ... Danielle might be in a similar boat to co-stars Teresa and &lt;strong&gt;Joe Giudice&lt;/strong&gt; -- who are &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2013/07/30/teresa-giudice-surrender-released-on-500k-bond/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;being federally indicted&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on 39 counts of fraud (including hiding assets during bankruptcy). They face &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2013/07/29/real-housewives-teresa-giudice-joe-prison-indicted-tax-evasion-bank-fraud/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;30 years in prison&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good choice, Danielle."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
