BOSTON — Stanford University's former sailing coach avoided significant prison time and was sentenced to just one day behind bars on Wednesday for his role in a massive college admissions scandal.
Vandemoer received three separate payments of $500,000, $110,000 and $160,000 between fall 2016 and October 2018 on behalf of the Stanford sailing program to falsely represent that three clients of Singer's were elite sailors — and thus deserving of special admission to the private school, according to court documents.
"It cannot be overstated: all parties agree that Mr. Vandemoer did not personally profit from the scheme," defense lawyer Robert Fisher wrote in his sentencing memo to the court."Mr. Singer sent Mr. Vandemoer money, and he consistently turned that money over to Stanford."
Sounds about white
Now, if he was a back man he would have got one day jail time in light year.
Rich white Justice.
we clearly need to scrap and rebuild our judicial system from scratch. in the meantime, let's remove this judge from the bench.
Money talks
Don’t think this guy will ever recover
The man needs to go into government service where you can sell the favors of your position for personal profit every day, right there in the open. Just like Trump.
ahdab_alrubaie can’t wait to see how long Lori’s sentence is 🤷🏼♂️
It’s never been said that ‘white collar’ crime doesn’t pay for a reason.
I hope he at least was fined .01 % if the money he racketeered, because then it's fair Good thing he didn't steal a .99c doll!
As usual, the real criminals do no time in jail. But they’ll throw the book at the parents whose only crime was loving their children too much 💔
BS
THE GIFT THAT’S WRAPPED WHITE, PATH SPARED PoeticAnagramWave
White male justice.🙄😔🙏🏻🇺🇸
Ridiculous!
The system works.. for the rich and their crooks.
Hey, it’s not like his kid stole a Barbie doll. I hear that could get you shot in the face while you hold onto your baby.
White ample privilege
Say what?!?!
It’s not white privilege and it is not even a big deal. Colleges want money and that’s what they got. Win win
Bullshit on so many levels. This is insulting to hard-working, honest people. But, typical of the way things run today.
Stanford should have to donate that money!!!
...and justice for ALL.
White privilege
So basically he gets a tour of the prison. The “justice” system in America is a joke. It always has been.
One Day BS.
fucking joke, this is not justice!
Well that’s a harsh punishment. Can’t wait for the rest of the punishments to come out. Way to deter crime and send out a strong message.
What?
🤨
Parents get sent to jail for trying to get their kids into better schools. But this man commits actual bribes and gets a slap on the wrist? Bullshit. Justice doesn’t exist. The system is broken.
this is so unreal-- so he's the 'least culpable' but still guilty. Just so wrong. in so many ways.
Oh that will teach them 🤦🏽♂️ This is why people have lost faith in our judicial system.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maga
wow, big deal.
Sounds about white !!
Not everything is a jail able offense.
😮
Abdication of responsibilities
WTF is happening ☹️☹️☹️
How sad is that! One day? Why we don’t need liberal judges!
Meanwhile...
What a deterrent.
Dude needs to be drug out to the woodshed. What a loser.
Another reason why WhenTheySeeUs is must-watch.
This is so fucked
He took $610,000 (gave it to sailing team) on behalf of 3 students. Got a $10k fine, 6 months house arrest. “The government had asked the judge to sentence Vandemoer to 13 months in prison.”
What about that time he sold a loose cigarette? EricGarner
This is white privilege
Is it federal pound me in the ass prison?
Justice
Because he's connected
Ah yeah, y’know, he just got a little too rowdy at the pub, committed massive fraud, took over $700,000 in bribes, said some things he shouldn’t have, insulted the chief’s wife, what have you. So we let him cool down tonight, and after a cup of morning joe, he’s good to go.
people who haven't been convicted of anything but can't afford bail get longer than this
He knows too much. And Obama’s daughter is one of them.
Outrageous
evidence number 67,820,183 that fraud crimes are woefully under-punished.
Hardcore, bro.
I get it. He donated his bribes to Stanford so he did not benefit. But he still took the bribes. How they treat this case sets the example. Unfortunately, they’ve set a terrible example.
The justice system at its best. What the hell is going on?
Wow, a whole day. So he gets to have a sleepover. Now that’s justice.
Sounds about white
Fucking gross, just awful.
lol
I’m sure there’s a lesson in here...
librab103 Blub, Blub, Blub! You sunk my boat, and my career. ☕️
WHAT?!!!!!!
Yep. One day in prison will definitely serve as deterrence.
one day is somehow more absurd than no days 🙃
ONE day in prison must cost taxpayers a lot of money.
One day? But what if he was a man of color? Think the punishment would have been different?
You showed him!
hellnaw ACLU splcenter JusticeLeague TheRevAl CBSThisMorning GayleKing GStephanopoulos How much time did those Mother’s Get for putting their kids in the better (but wrong) school district...it dayum sure wasn’t a day.. injustice
These crooks deserve jail. What kind of justice is this. Hello kids in America if you want to commit crimes snd not go to jail bd a Hollywood elite. TeachingKidsCrimePays
Does not say much for our justice system!
Wow, such a steep penalty.
That’ll show em. 🙄
It’s nice to know our legal system works....
Are you kidding! This scandal runs deep
EPR14564 What did he do with the $$$$?.
Wow just wow .
A former Stanford coach took $610,000 in bribes pleaded guilty and received one day in jail. Another man offered water to refugees at the border to save lives and he is facing twenty years in prison. That's life in America, but how long can we continue like this?
White privilege strikes again
Seriously?! Why bother!
Wow. What a punishment.
Damn, hope he's ok.
Wow, shocking that this nice white man who broke the law in a big way is getting a pass...
A RWM privilege non sentence. A f n disgrace. And we wonder why corruption in America is at an all time high. Valueless America.
Why bother
Sell pot - months/years in jail Give pot away in exchange for bribes - one day in jail Oh wait, it only works that way when you're wealthy.
If he was a POC without money and contacts, he would get 10 years
basically he suckered rich people out of their money for nothing - so it seems fair
Oooh. This will deter other miscreants for sure!
These stories keep proving me right-these wealthy people who were involved in this scandal-one day-probation-that's what they get and will continue to get
White privilege
Gosh... that’s terribly long.. 👀👀👀
Well, I admit I predicted they wouldn’t spend a single day jail, but...
Wow, way to send a message.
😡
Laws are for little poor people.
Really Take bribes people that way you won’t do much if any time.
Wow they really threw the pamphlet at him.
Will he get time off for good behavior?
The American Justice system is a thing of wonder.
