Nationwide College Cheating Scandal - Actresses, Business Owners Charged, Mar 2019 - #3

[JerseyGirl]

Jeffrey Bizzack, of Solana Beach, California, was the 51st person to be charged.

Bizzack, 59, is the 23rd defendant to plead guilty, while the others are fighting their charges.

Bizzack entered the plea to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud in Boston's federal court. As part of a plea deal with Bizzack, prosecutors are recommending nine months in prison, a $75,000 fine and other restitution to be decided during sentencing.

Bizzack gave a total of $200,000 to a sham charity run by the admissions consultant at the center of the scheme and sent a $50,000 check to the USC "Galen Center," a campus sports arena, to have his son designated as a recruit for the volleyball team. His son was formally accepted in March 2018.

Illinois parents 'are giving up custody of their children to help them get college scholarships' | Daily Mail Online

This is just as bad as the college scandal but it is different because it is legal.

Well-to-do Illinois parents, including lawyers, doctors and realtors, are reportedly giving up custody of their high school-aged children in order to help them secure scholarships and financial aid reserved for low-income students.

Separate investigations conducted by ProPublica Illinois and The Wall Street Journal have uncovered dozens of cases in the wealthy suburbs of Chicago involving parents transferring legal guardianship of their teenagers to grandparents, aunts, friends, or even co-workers over the past year-and-a-half.

The idea behind the tactic, which is legal in Illinois, is that once the parents give up custody, the children are able to declare themselves financially independent on college applications and declare dramatically lower incomes.

 

[Laughing]

Wait 'til those parents file their taxes without that deduction! At least it was a rather big hit at my house....

Maybe their tax preparer has similar ethics & knowledge of loopholes? I don't.

JMHO YMMV

 

[Ellmau]

Well, I hope those kids aren't expecting any inheritances from the parents ...

Gosh darn. Why didn't we think of being dishonest like that?! We could've easily saved $1000's of dollars.

“Sometimes you can work your hardest and still not get what you want,” said Bascombe. “And you feel even more powerless when you realize that these people are committing fraud to get into the schools you want to get into.”

Amazing that there are no negative comments. She must have a team of people deleting them. So glad to see she has been so humbled by this experience.

I can’t see a post or any comments , just the pic.

I can’t see a post or any comments , just the pic.

I can see comments but it’s says “Comments on this post have been limited” at the bottom and won’t let me comment. I don’t see where she commented other than her original post. The comments are mostly by other verified influencers and are positive in nature.

Least common denominator, that.

OJ, that's a math term. Some people catch on to the idea in elementary (grade) school. Kinda means, the lowest thing that's shared.

JMHO YMMV

Unbelievable

Oh Nevermind, I get it now, I’d forgotten her ludicrous pose. LOL
What an insolent little brat.

The post might get her some insta-fan comments (real or purchased comments and follows, IDK), but does she think that attitude will restore her sponsorships?! I sure hope not. It's ugly, imo.
