Federal prosecutors are interested in talks with some of the wealthy parents charged in the sweeping college admissions scandal as investigators continue to broaden the case, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The scheme itself was fairly simple, prosecutors said: Singer instructed parents to seek extended time for their children on ACT and SAT exams. In at least one instance, a student claimed to have a learning disability to obtain medical documentation required by the College Board and ACT Inc. to grant additional time on the tests, according to court documents.But it is believed that a much smaller group of very wealthy parents took part in the scheme.

According to court papers, the scam unraveled last year when one of Singer’s coaches decided to go off on his own and work directly with a parent. Rudy Meredith, Yale’s women’s soccer coach for more than two decades, had previously helped Singer fake the soccer credentials of a child of a Singer client. But in spring 2018, he solicited a bribe directly from the father of a second Yale applicant, whom the Department of Justice designated as “Yale Applicant 2.”

What the coach did not know was that the parent took the proposal to federal prosecutors because the parent was already charged in a stock fraud and was looking to cut a deal, according to the court papers.Essential California Newsletter

Since the suspects are white, Both sides now talking on how to make sentencing less than harsh MAWA- make UHMERYKA white again

Sadly none of them will receive jail time. Smh.

Great ex manipulate ppl feds

One source said some of the parents are being given a short window to consider a deal or potentially face additional charges.

Here’s a wacky idea, why don’t prosecutors actually prosecute?

Are you going to publicly shame the male corporate executives who paid to get their kids into college or are you just going to keep showing the women like they’re the only ones? fairness

What is so wrong with city college?

Squeal and get the deal.
