"We will continue to pursue accountability for undermining the integrity of college admissions," he added.The couple was accused of paying a $500,000 bribe to secure their daughters' admission to the University of Southern California as recruits for the university's crew team. Neither of them had even practiced the sport.
From 20 years down to months. Money is the new law apparently.
Ugh
And then be immediately released due to coronavirus. whitepeople
Seems like a dumb controversy.
1a Agree with others. White privilege and rich person privilege. Not nearly enough time or money for those crimes. And a black woman gets 5 years for voting! American 'justice' is a joke.
This whole scandall was very disturbing. It revealed the great lengths to which parents will go in order to maintain their social status and what values they instill in their children. In the end its clear honesty is always the best path to take
1a I'm mad enough to ask for a CodeSwitch episode but I feel like we already know
Not much sympathy for these people...
They should have just bribed the school directly for admissions, like Jared Kushner’s father did.
They probably paid more in legal fees.
Good, but perhaps not enough. The privileged have pulled strings to run our society for too long.
look at the smug face
Slap on the wrist for white-privilige.🤔👎
Those who allowed her child into college should face punishment, if any. The burden is on admissions dept at college, not parents or students as to admission. First come first serve should be standard policy, with wait lists for those who have to wait.
Thank heaven, for little girls...
Soooooo, Ppl of color are in prisoned for years many times falsely/or for minor offenses such as lying to police haven’t they lied during their testimony. Besides what they are actually guilty of!
They won't spend a day in prison bc apparently prisons are way too corona-icky rich well connected self entitled folks.
i swear, that woman is a stepford.
Two people shafted by their lawyers. They should have pled out in the beginning.
Yea, in a country club prison.
She paid more paying for the actual crime lol
Now imagine if they were black...
Check out our podcast. We took a deep dive into the college admissions scandal, revealing how a former high school basketball coach became the ringleader of a multimillion-dollar scam involving Hollywood stars and CEOs.
So much for the Equal Pay Act
to think, a 400k donation to any university would probably get your kid in there...
According to some sources they already have agreed they just asking how much more the would have to pay to have their younger kid attend Stanford
Lol at these two eltitled morons.
Imagine having to pay $400k and having to spend months in jail JUST for trying to exercise your White privilege. Sheesh.
People have been bribing and conning their way through life for all of time. Makes me wonder, why now and why this? I don't think what was done was right, by any means, but why THIS?
Are they gonna argue for home arrest because of Covid
They must be doing this because they won’t spend the time in jail due to covid 🤮😡
im sure the pandemic had something to do with them pleading out now. No way theyll go to actual jail.
katiebeacock Well deserved. The legal fees up to now is quite a penalty also. Some repentant conduct might go a long way.
dingus_768 love how the combined fines are less than what they paid to get their kids into school.
Put them both in general population—to get the full experience.
Meanwhile a homeless black person is doing five years for saying she lived in a better school district. Justice is non-existent in this ridiculous country.
So bribing your kids into college gets you more time than conspiring against the US to steal an election. Strange country.
Their fines are less than they paid to cheat in the first place 😂😂😂😂
Gotta be guilty to get a pardon (from the guy hubby just gave a million dollars to).
Is that Fonzy?
What's even more disgusting about their scam is they are wealthy & could afford to send their kids to college
on house arrest, pretty much like the rest of us, well played
Only 2 MONTHS? SMH rich white celebrities have it too easy.
Shouldn’t they at least have to pay a fine or what they paid for he daughter to get into college? Unreal! 500k+ and LIES!!!
What about the college professors, coaches, staff, & administrators that orchestrated, participated, & enabled this activity to occur? Without their involvement, none of this happens. Period. Follow the money, right? brakktonbooker
Poetic justice would be the fines go to educationally underserved communities idea thursdaymorning
The banger that's playing for Lori right now
Just in time to be let out because of covid-19 concerns. How convenient!
Why wouldn't the fines start at $500k?
Do their idiot children get to stay in those universities?
That’s just bullshit.
But because of Covid risk, they can serve the term at home, I am sure, is their thinking.
LOL, because rich people buying their kids way into college is some kind of new and insidious crime we have to deal with.
I bet it was her idea and likely her connections that brought it to the family. Of course he gets more harsh of a term.
She'll never spend a day in an actual prison. She'll join the likes of Michael Cohen in home confinement because prison is just too dangerous because of COVID-19.
