WoW
How is bail fair again? If you're guilty and rich you get out but if you're innocent and poor welcome to Rikers.
Guess you could say - “Mossimo Money Mo Problems”
And why is anyone even asking what BetsyDeVosED DeVos thinks of this? She is the biggest mistake and worst thing that could have happened to education in this country.
I hope people take the time to read the indictment as it relates to lorilaughlin . the way she spoke and what she wrote is so revealing. Her entitlement is sickening. If ever people needed to be knocked down from their ivory tower, it was them!
Hey, if you had the means to keep your daughter out of ASU, you would do it too.
Get me my biscuits cause it's about to get wet all up in here.
Call Uncle Jesse ASAP!
Jail time? Really.
Hey, her her daughters can go to Trump's University. Perfect match, maybe Ivanka will be a teacher
BetsyDeVosED Disgraceful? Pot meet kettle. Disgrace is your middle name. Oh and your brother is a treasonous mercenary. May you both be stripped of your pomp and circumstance.
Her past records tell us money isn’t an issue. I’m inclined to think she- like all Hollywood creatures- is a dem who believes in equal opportunity. Hypocrisy has no Color- red or blue- especially among the well-off AOC wants to tax more.
Is she under full house arrest ?
It is a disgrace, but so is the fact that DeVos has ZERO qualifications for her position but got it anyway... Girl, if you're pointing fingers make sure you take a look in the mirror, babe.
Lorie Loughlin being arrested on Federal charges and having to post a $1 million bond has blown my mind! I am extremely disappointed, as my 3 daughters have grown up watching her & they are so upset! I never thought she of all people would be a criminal! So sad!😪
I can’t believe they went to jail!!
DeVos calling anything educational wise “disgraceful” is the most ‘pot calling the kettle black’ shit I’ve ever heard.
Again the privilege of money
DemocratsCheat
I would like to see coverage of the other defendants
But Texas coach had $50k = $5k ... different federal judges in different jurisdictions... his charges aren’t as “severe” but all still same game?
kfdmnews
This classic rich liberals being cought
No respect any more!!! 😡
kfdmnews I can hear the music in the back ground and Danny Tanner telling us everything’s going to be ok. Learn and move in
NEWS1130 “I can’t believe you Aunt Becky”!.....how rude! 😏😉😬
Where’s all the Hollywood outrage? If this was Trump that had done this......Hollywood would have crucified him!
just another reason to get rid of public institutions for Devos. She hates all schools Except charter schools
That’s like the emperor saying Darth Vader is evil
how is she still so fine? like, her daughter isn't even close lol
Fullhouse2Bighouse
Hope they all serve as much time as it takes to get a degree in their favorite college.
More than enough to get in a good school. What, too dumb to even get in?
Stop, girl! You’re not one to judge others about screwing the education system! Where did you get such balls?
KOLDNews that's a drop in the bucket for her and her hubz. jail time is what's needed. it better happen.
MFBrooklyn Zip it DeVos. You’re not a teacher; you purchased your job.
It would be a good thing to pint out which laws have been allegedly broken. We all agree the cheating the system is bad, but what are they being charged with?
sounds about white
Because you’ve definitely reached the bottom of the barrel when BetsyDeVosED can scold you, legitimately.
Was this about the kids or their parent's egos?
Devos is just as crooked sitDown
Pfft. SecBetsyDeVosED acting like she didn’t buy her way through school.
A $1 million bond doesn't cost the face value, you goobers. Lori paid $10K for it if it was at 1%.
Devos was just upset she didn't get any of the handouts
Is she permitted to bribe the bondsman?
DeVos might want to shut her yap give she could be sharing a cell with one of these fine ladies. SpectrumHealth AlfaBank TrumpServer BrainwashPeopleMuchErikPrince?
These very stupid parents don't realize they aren't doing their children any favors.
A million $$$ bail seems a bit excessive in this case. Bail isn’t meant to punish its to secure appearance in future proceedings.
This Judge trippin’ ... ain’t no way she guilty! Something ‘bout her tell me she innocent. 🤔 LoriLoughlin DatAss
NEWS1130 Rich people problems
What a waste.
hmmmm... what IF devos’ investigation uncovers involvement of a former penn now georgetown student ? if lit’l tiffany is still at georgetown.
how does this warrant a 1,000,000 bond when Jussie Smellit's was a mere 100,000---his actions and crimes were 100x worse
Holy crap for $500k pick a better University at least..SMH!😱
She will be out $100,000 in cash. All of her properties are secure.But it helps she has property.
You’ll have a Full house in prison Lori and Mossimo🤑🤢🤮
Can we just stop sugar coating it and put them in the “racist, deplorable, xenophobic, misogynistic,” etc., etc., con artist basket now?! Seriously!
Yeah...it is...but so is cutting education funding by $7 billlion
OH YES WE CAN ALL post a 1 million dollar bond .. of course
I think murderers get less bond😂
LovToRideMyTrek
Has Hallmark fired her yet
Because uncle Jessie concert raised enough money oh and DJ AND Michelle baked cupcakes
Pssst, I can arrange to put you up in the nicest graybar hotel for 1/2 that.
No pardon for you!
Wow!
I wonder if they all knew this was being investigated and arrests were coming.... 🤔🤔🤔
There goes Uncle Jessie’s Smash Club fortune.
No, F that, people have remained in custody for far lesser crimes!! WhitePrivilege moneytalks
Trump spend no time in prison for his Trump University fraud. Trump paid no fine for improperly giving Jared and Ivanka top security clearances.
That's calling the kettle black. BetsyDeVosED
I wonder if she said to the judge, “Have Mercy!”
I’m sure BetsyDeVosED is working on making all of this legal at a certain income level.
NEWS1130 How to screw your kids out of a CollegeEducation
Daaamn!
Oh and ...One million dollars bail? That will teach her!! Not
laurenpeikoff But can DeVos spell disgraceful?
Of course... Cash? Or 10%?
Let’s let celebrities off their charge of paying exorbitant amounts of money to a college by allowing them to pay exorbitant amounts of money to the prison. Makes sense.
So sad, Obama,Hillary and fake Indian started this move.
This is where we see the disparity. A poor person lying about college doesn’t get charged or post bond.
DeVos...really? Don’t need any comment from her
I had always thought that this practice was legal, for private schools. Guess I've been watching The Sopranos too much.
Please tell me Uncle Jesse knew nothing about this... FullHouse FullerHouse fullesthouse
KOCOmarkie The judge must not be a USC or Full House fan.
Aunt Becky has some stupid kids paying 500,000 to have her two idiots who went on Instagram and said she hates school..Lmfao you can't make this sh*t up..what's this a lifetime movie...lol
More like full house arrest. (Rim shot)
Those traps in reputable universities are not new, they surely make them known to the public because there are things against certain actresses.
But POC are the ones that are gifted college acceptances....rich White folks have always been the problem
A bit extreme no?
Everyone involved in this collegescam CollegeCheatingScandal Kick Kids out of school Diplomas revoked penalitiesforall Jail No probation or volunteer work
But I'm like soooo pretty, and I voted for HillaryClinton.
Oh shit! Money gets her what she wants again!
A million $ bond: Did she kill someone? Did she rape someone? Did she give government secrets to our enemies? What is she accused of? Oh- helping her daughter get into some college where fraud may have been committed to do so. This is ridiculously excessive.
Well the rich always want to give their fair share to the government 👍
Such a waste of money, that bond. Just think about how many kids she could get into an elite college for that amount of cash!
Disgusted in you LoriLoughlin CollegeCheatingScandal your daughter is pure example of GROSS DISGUSTING ENTITLEMENT
We know Betsy bought her children’s education the old fashion way. Bigger donations
You all need to be bringing up charges for the amount of tuition colleges bill students.
Haven't rich folks done this for a couple of hundred years?
Yes it is, but DeVos is an even bigger disgrace. She got her job the same way those kids got into college. She bought it.
NEWS1130 Hilarious whomp whomp 🤭
Can she buy her way out without relying on bail?
Obligatory “have mercy” tweet 🤣
DeVos is a disgrace to the education system.
The end is all that matters. What will she and the rest face at the end? Slap on the wrist? Remember... they have this new Criminal Justice Reform '1st Step' that massages nonviolent crimes. So don't be surprised if they walk with just a verbal bashing.
Where will she get these funds? That’s not Hallmark Channel movie money.
Wow. This 'money' thing really opens up a lotta doors.
Oh, the irony. She can buy her way out of this, too.
Most expensive college tuition EVER! How dumb!
Wow. Her involvement must have been much more than simply paying to get her own child into college... Think of all the heinous crimes against people where the suspect's bond was much less & this (if only fraud) is a white-collar crime.
Who cares what Betsy DeVos thinks? I’m surprised she isn’t involved in this. Yet.
Lol. How does a charge like this result in bail/bond that high? I’ve seen manslaughter charges with less of a bail.
Don’t ever tell me the wealthy don’t deserve huge tax breaks. Being wealthy is very expensive.
kathyshimmield DeVos calls someone 'Disgraceful'...
For Lori Loughlin, it wasn't about getting an education for her daughter. It was about make herself (LL) look better. She's not the first parent like that, and won't be the last.
There are like 50 ppl implicated and we only see news about 2 ppl as if none of the other rich ppl in this scandal shouldn’t face public scrutiny. Put the spotlight on all of them. Same goes w/ the massage parlor sex trafficking scandal.
Lol! I'll bet you look in DeVos's closet and there's plenty of payoffs to get into certain colleges.
I miss the good old days of college.
Wonder if hallmarkchannel is going to boot Lori from When Calls the Heart?
That's double what she paid.
Damn, I was looking forward to the new series - The Big House.
America - what difference is there between bribery and bail? Fundamentally corrupt court system where only the rich can purchase their freedom.
33 Parents can pay restitution to students who’s potential entrance was taken from them.
She’s paying 1M to the school of hard knocks.
xMag1cxM1kex 1 million to get out! She’ll never dance again.
Insane! Most murder bonds are no where near that high. Smdh 🤦♂️
pnjaban That will COST her $100k in bail fees. Her legal defense will probably cost three times that. Getting her kid into 'the right school' is getting REALLY expensive...
That's all?!
All liberal democrats seeking an unfair advantage in college admissions based upon some fictitious athletic or other advantage based upon false premises. Such as claiming to be an American Indian. Who might that apply to to? Guess....
Really? Come on... my neighbor shot and killed someone and had like a 50,000$ bond. Crazy. All of it is crazy.
Doesn't DeVos want all schools to be privatized, which would lead to the same issues?
Like she didn't pay to get her job! GTFOH!
“Disgrace!” - Devos 👀🤔 OnYourWatch Irony
Money money money
Damm Rkelly only paid 100k the hell
Money, so at the end of the day all these rich cheaters will not be going to jail anyways. So why the big news, to show us again what big money can do for you?¿?
WHY NOT MAKE HER BAIL SOMETHING THAT SHE HAS TROUBLE PUTTING TOGETHER? SHE BOUGHT HER DUMB KID A COLLEGE DEGREE AND NOW SHE SIMPLY WALKS OUT OF JAIL BECAUSE SHE HAS MONEY!
$1million dollars!?! That’s 2 dumb kids
KOLDNews A lot of you act surprised that rich people pay to get their kids into these colleges. They only got caught because they used a middle man. Should’ve just wrote the university a check like the billionaires do...
Nice example loriloughlin1 and FelicityHuffman have set for their children. They must be proud of themselves.
Aunt Becky might be trading a Full House for the Big House.
What about the people on the receiving end of these bribes? It takes two to tango.
So she gets to pay yet another bribe most people could never afford. Her face is going to be in the dictionary under white privilege now.
NEWS1130 Like DeVos would know anything about it or understand it
She should pay the ultimate price, millions in fines and losing her job, and whatever else we can think of. 😎
I hope it was worth it
WHY IS THIS ALLOWED
No one cares what DeVos thinks, she's an embarrassment herself.
Nettaaaaaaaa Me knowing that me watching Full House allowed her to make the millions she needed to commit fraud and bribe exam proctors.
Where is Jared Kushner in all this. Didn't his dad pay the extra ordinary amount?
WNYT She can take it out of her Botox fund
Did the FBI bombard her house with machine guns at 5 AM
setislady Devos just thinks it’s disgraceful because (a) she’s not getting a cut, and (b) if these paupers cant afford to build a new building for the school, they should get at the end of the line behind the rest of the riff-raff.
Nettaaaaaaaa Has YouTube canceled her daughters channel yet?
clarencehilljr When will her daughter be kicked out of USC for fraud.

Way to punish a rich person ? Throw more money at the problem
Didn't DeVos get her job because of family contributions to the Republican Party?
NEWS1130
That shouldn’t be too hard all things considered
Awww how is the Slap back Hollywood? ass Comment Rosie?
Whoops
MattMurph24 Hey dummy there was always community college.
Basically 1.5 million bucks down the drain just to get your kids into USC. What a waste.
Has enough money to pay for her daughter to get in and herself to get out.
Help me out here. Is that million dollars more or less than the down payment she made on her spoiled, vapid daughter’s fraudulent admission to a college that other actually talented and hardworking kids didn’t get into?
Of course.
Devos is a lying hypocrite who daily does a bigger disservice to American children.
Oh man she needs a speech from Danny Tanner.
This scheme sounds exactly like the kind of thing DeVos herself would actually do or would change the Dept of Ed rules to try and make it possible.
The kids knew their scores were forged, punish them too
DeVos LOL, when did she develop any cred to even opine on this matter?
Hope they shut this scandal all the way down, exposing college staff, parents, etc. IvyMadness CollegeCheatingScandal
And when they get finished with the college the IRS gets a whack at it. How many wrote off what they paid Singer as charity donations.
Mugshot please
First of all nobody cares what Betsy thinks. However I feel no pain for Aunt Becky and her spoiled entitled brat. oliviajadee maga trump
no perp walk pics?
This criminal case also reveals how the stress from parenting can drive some parents to behave bizarrely.
That’s hilarious that Devos says this scam is disgraceful when DeVos bought her job
Does that come with a side order of a USC degree?
Why is hallmarkchannel still using her on their supposedly so wholesome show any way? Isn't what she did considered immoral, underhanded and criminal?
Her husband will just crank out a few extra truck loads of his rags to Target
The federal wire tap charges are SERIOUS!! Feds don’t mess around. I keep asking myself if the parents pay 10 times more for a college degree, I question their life choices.
$1 million? This ⬇️ is the ONLY thing that makes this FelicityHuffmanLoriLoughlinUnNamedBigBizWhiteMen bearable (you go SDNYnews):
From Full House to the Big House
It sounds like the schools are going to kick the kids out.
Isn't $1m like 15 facials or something? Seems light.
Wonder how many on the right. Have taken part in this conspiracy
MattMurph24 So now she basically paid money to get OUT of an institution of higher learning.
Yeah jails sucks. That Fuller House money coming in handyyyy 💰 💰💰
Anybody got numbers on people who're still sitting in jail, waiting for Trial for lesser crimes, because they couldn't make bail that's a Fraction of Loughlin's?
Is anyone knows about 'disgrace', it is DeVos. 🙄
BetsyDeVos shouldn't be anywhere near the educational system in the united states..nor should she be running orphanages...little convenient kids are being removed from their parents at the border.
BetsyDeVosED and you know who else is disgraceful? YOU!!!
My mom would never 👀
$1 million is crazy for what she did. R Kelly’s bond was the same amount
Good to have the $$
The fact Devos has a job is a disgrace along with the fact her existence is one has well.
Links to an arrow about Douglas Hodge and nobody notices.. comments about something they didn't read instead
Huh manafort commits treason and she pretends she’s rich AND white
Where aunt Becky get all this money from I haven’t seen her in anything since like 99
She should apply to 'Trump University' at least she could have some money back.😇
The Elite get off again...
This seems quite high.
Is there time for her to get her daughter into law school?
Touchè
I bet this will just boost their careers even more. Stupid people.
Why so high?! She didn't kill anyone.
Or $2 million and they will name the court house after her and dismiss the case.
Damn, R.Kelly, now the chick from Full House!
They probably love the media attention and will make Money
That shouldn’t be hard... I mean she had an extra half mil to bribe with right🤣
Of course she can.
Lead with this. The Boston Globe reports that former PIMCO chief executive Douglas Hodge was released Wednesday on $500,000 bond after briefly appearing in federal court in Boston.
That’s like $1000 for super rich folk. 🤷🏻♂️
by any standard $1Million bail for a non violent without priors is Huge .
DeVos look into a mirror... you are the definition of disgraceful...
Just like how she got her position as Sec. of Education? Just write a big check... 🙄
Betsy DeVos bought her job, where does she get off saying anything about this?
Well, we know she has the money. 'You know, I don't like prison, but I'll go just for the game days and parties.'
Trump said Meredith McIver has 'heard everything, and she's taken good notes.' Like Cohen, she lied about Trump’s net worth (see: Trump’s ’07 depo). It's time a reporter ACTUALLY found this woman, and a congressional subpoena should follow. ...
Says the woman who bought her job.
milenaac Would anyone be surprised if Cruella DeVos bribed schools to get her kids accepted?
Maybe her daughter could cough it up
Dayum
Pay your kid into college, pay yourself out of jail. America is a great country for rich people.
Thanks, UncleJesse! Loughlin
Rich people problems.
Well.. she has the money i'm sure..
CHEATER!!!!
DeVos dared open her mouth? Seriously?
Daym!
$1 million? DAMN! They aren’t screwing around on this!

Excessive bail
Disgraceful because she didn’t think of it first?
Who cares....
Small price to pay to FreeAuntBecky
And the Obama's did it..their names are the list.
That is one expensive college education.
Next on Fuller House: Aunt Becky makes bail.
So was this uncovered by Betsy Devos?
Betsy Devos has nerve calling anything disgraceful.
Yeah .. I dunno anything about it .. but she’s still fire ass hot
John Stamos posted her bond with one million dollar’s worth of Oikos.
Sounds about white
Chump change to her. 😡
Big troubles on the way..hope it was worth it?
