<snip> a legal expert based out of Atlantic City, says prison time could be a possibility, though not a likely one.

<snip> The question to ask is if it’s a probability, and in this case I don’t see it as a probability with respect to the parents involved.”

As per usual, the rich celebrities probably won’t do any prison time. Big shocker. What a world.

Sick of all of these disgusting people

I hope they have fun dealing with IRS about the fraud in declaring their $500,000 bribe as a “Charitable Contribution”

People go to prison for less than that

Lori Loughlin flying to LA to turn herself in for college admissions scandal | Daily Mail Online

Lori Loughlin has deleted all her social media and is flying from Canada to Los Angeles to turn herself in after being charged in massive college admissions scandal after it was revealed she paid $500,000 to get her daughters into USC

Oh the drama.

MOO- All of this is just so messed up. So glad to see this blow open. It’s hard enough for students to gain admission, let alone pay (for many).

Good grief , O, made it clear she just wanted to party and experience game days. - meanwhile there were hundreds of kids, who had worked their butts off, praying for that admission. This is so sickening.

The extra kick is that the parents and the foundations received some pretty decent tax right offs for their “charitable donations.”

 

[Elley Mae]

The scheme was discovered accidentally by the FBI while working an unrelated undercover operation about a year ago, officials said. That tip led to a sprawling, nationwide corruption probe.

Two California parents paid Singer in the form of Facebook stock — 2,150 shares worth $251,159 at the time of the bribe in July 2016, according to court papers. Those parents claimed that payment as a charitable donation, the papers said.

Other defendants include William McGlashan, a senior executive at a global private equity firm, TPG Growth, which is a major investor in the ride-hailing service Uber and the music-streaming app Spotify.

A TPG spokesman said “as a result of the charges of personal misconduct against Bill McGlashan,” he has been placed on “indefinite administrative leave effective immediately.”

Even if these children aren't good test takers, their wealth would have given them so many advantages in the college admissions process anyway, they have access to amazing people to write recommendations for them, money to be able to participate in things like volunteer tourism, expensive courses outside of school that would give them easy AP credit, opportunities and the financial ability to take internships etc.

THIS!!

McGlashan allegedly had discussions with an unnamed individual who participated in the scheme, dubbed "CW-1" in the indictment. CW-1 created "a fake football profile using Photoshop software" so that McGlashan's son could be enlisted as a "purported football recruit," according to court documents.

An honest person! I knew they still existed.

They ju$t didn't get to her fa$t enough.

I kid, I kid....I'm sure she's honest. But I bet they would have tried to bribe her too.

So glad this was uncovered. How dare these people do this. Now their kids will get an education: in criminal crimes, bribery and fraud.

What a slime. Truly

Imagine what other sorts of fraud, misrepresentation, bribery and other unethical behavior this guy participates in

In college sports when a team is caught cheating they have to give up every win or championship they had.
I think these kids should be expelled and their families forced to pay back their wasted tuition as scholarship funds for deserving students.

 

[Herat]

Imagine the good that $500,000 worth of scholarships for disadvantaged kids could have done, rather than going into the pockets of frauds so this stupid girl could pose as a college student.

The girl is stupid, but dont forget it was a number of parents who did this for their kids. its not a celebrity thing its a rich person thing.
There is a whole lobby out to protect the rich while a whole movement is to stop their abuse of power.
This is a symptom of a greater ill, not a one off

Right. That's why companies are scrambling, imo. The need to at least pretend to be honest, and that's hard when your top guys are caught in this scandal.

What a mess....for really no purpose. Those kids would be fine - either by delaying school, getting in a different school, or not going to school at all. It's not as if a greater good was accomplished.

According to transcripts, Felicity Huffman's husband William H. Macy was aware of the college admissions cheating scandal. DOJ prosecutors say he was heard on consensually-recorded telephone calls discussing the scheme with gov't confidential witnesses.

Very good point. That money really would make a difference to many, many applicants.

Maybe some of the companies where these bribers work will set up funds.
