What kind of lazyass kids are these, their parents know they raised stupid brats don't get them tutors when they obviously can afford it and just buy their way around life? Parents seem to b just as stupid as the kids

Leftists trying to find shortcuts to an IVY league education for their SPAWN...typical!

Sounds like a Trump Maneuver !!

Professors need to be charged too

Rotten liars deserve to be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars Then clean college bathrooms for 1 year. Who do you think you are?

With the type of money these people have ,they could have paid for brain implant & wasn't a crime ,either & their kids actually would have end up getting scholarship for all top universities everywhere.

СТРАННЫЙ ВЫ НОРОД

Where is the punishment for these universities for accepting bribes

Who cleans the bathrooms down at CNN headquarters this week? Is it Wolfie or Tapper’s turn? 😃

Where is the punishment for the universities for excepting bribes

I honestly don't think they should go to prison. How does it help the people they harmed? And it costs taxpayers thousands of dollars a year. Instead give them some hard community service.

This lying student parent duo would have been someone’s boss making decisions based on merit and a degree they stole. How many succeeded and are out here f’ing up the world?

a lot of rich white people are going to fine or time or both. But we have laws in this nation to promote fairness and also drive people to be their best. Not fake it donald trump style. This is good, even if it hurts them now.
