Everyone is a victim, they just need the a little external justification of their victimhood to let it shine. That's the kind of world we live in.This irritates me much more than the original scandal:
The first lawsuits targeting elite universities and individuals charged by federal prosecutors in a sweeping college admissions scandal were filed by a student and parent on Wednesday in California.
The parent, Jennifer Kay Toy, claimed in San Francisco Superior Court that her son Joshua — with a 4.2 grade-point average — was not admitted to some schools because of the "despicable actions" of parents implicated in the scandal.

In addition to Toy's civil complaint, a Stanford student filed what she's hoping will become a class-action lawsuit against the school and all the other implicated universities, claiming their degrees will not be "worth as much as" before.
It’s because I’m not. I definitely have views that are obviously distinctly different than some others, and especially from others on this specific board. Big deal. So if I post my opinion like everyone else does who’s not a troll and it’s 180 degrees from yours, and then I get challenged for having that opinion, and I respond honestly and consistently, I’m a troll? Gotcha. Should I ignore when people quote me and just take their shots?Hey guys you don't spend much time in the dark side, aka PSF, so good on you for not knowing TJ is a troll.
How do you feel about Affirmative Action as it relates to college admissions?I stopped reading early on, but who cares if parents did this. I don’t. Power to ‘em.
And Sephora just cut Olivia Jade's product line.She just got fired from Garage Sale Mysteries and Hallmark has canceled all of her shows and movies effective immediately. They basically threw out a ton of their library catalog.
I believe it’s mentioned in the indictment.I know there has been speculation that they wrote off the bribes as charitably donations on their tax returns, has that been confirmed anywhere?
Seems like overkill...but I was never going to watch them anywayShe just got fired from Garage Sale Mysteries and Hallmark has canceled all of her shows and movies effective immediately. They basically threw out a ton of their library catalog.
OpposedHow do you feel about Affirmative Action as it relates to college admissions?
In that case, you should care very much about what has happened here.OpposedHow do you feel about Affirmative Action as it relates to college admissions?
FYPIn that case, you should care very much about what has happened here.
This scam has reduced enrollment opportunities forunderprivilegedhonest white kids, just like Affirmative Action has done.
Dude. You act like the people number is in the millions. Gimme a break already.In that case, you should care very much about what has happened here.

My sister-in-law held a candlelight vigil over this.Seems like overkill...but I was never going to watch them anyway
Yes. This is the only option other than just living in a box.So what now for Lori? Adult movies?
You make up in vistas what those guys have in .I'm no rich guy, especially by FBG standards.
Regular Joes might get more, but I doubt they would face more. These folks have the advantage of hiring superior legal counsel.Sadly I doubt the parents will face jail time. They'll probably pay a fine and do community service. The regular joe would face a lot more.
The most distressing part of this is that my two schools aren't even mentioned. Not even as a "selective" school like San Diego.This irritates me much more than the original scandal:
Who wouldn't watch a prison reality show with Lori and FelicitySo what now for Lori?
He got out in front of this because his name was probably going to get floated/leaked out. As much as his reputation as FIGJAM makes me suspicious as to his ego with regards to his kid's school, it's entirely possible and even likely that he didn't do anything wrong.Phil Mickelson only used the agency to help his daughter figure out which college would be a good fit. He is shocked about all this. Hmmm.

i am of the other opinion. he definitely is trying to get out in front of it. but, i'd guess he's dirty.Sand said:He got out in front of this because his name was probably going to get floated/leaked out.

Do they come with a puka shell necklace?I own a couple of Mossimo button-down shirts. Are they worth anything now?
Lori cut from Fuller House now too.chet said:And Sephora just cut Olivia Jade's product line.
I was trying to think of a clever name for the title of her movie. Something that would play on words like it's so often done. Full House might just be perfect, though.eoMMan said:So what now for Lori? Adult movies?

I would suggest these lawsuits are helpful in putting the screws to colleges allowing this to happen. I bet it’s much, much more rampant than just these celebs.Sinn Fein said:This irritates me much more than the original scandal:

Long haired felicity or short haired felicity? If it is long haired i would watch that 8 days a week.Statorama said:Who wouldn't watch a prison reality show with Lori and Felicity
If he’s dirty and the Feds are fleshing this all out, what does getting out in front it accomplish?i am of the other opinion. he definitely is trying to get out in front of it. but, i'd guess he's dirty.

Fuller Hoes?

ETA: Hey, that's someone felon daughter guy!
Its a BS money grab.I would suggest these lawsuits are helpful in putting the screws to colleges allowing this to happen. I bet it’s much, much more rampant than just these celebs.
As far as the second lawsuit, there is some merit there too. Much like the Penn State scandal, when one hears “Penn State”, inevitably child molestation comes to mind.
But an effective way of making sure Stanford’s replacement Dean of Admissions isn’t the likes of Tony Stacks.Its a BS money grab.
I hope these lawsuits are tossed and attorney's fees awarded against these plaintiffs.
I thought the exact same thing when I heard this story break. But then I read that in order to make a donation to the institution to get your kid in you need to donate enough for a building or a big wing to a big building. That the donor would need to give 10-20 times what Lori gave to Singer.Capella said:@bobvulfov

Yeah, no criminal in the history of crime ever rolled for a lighter sentence.from my reading on this, it seems as though it was found because a coach decided to cut out the middle man and just ask a parent for a bribe himself. that parent was currently being investigated for another crime so he tipped off the FBI hoping for a reduced sentence. the FBI then used this parent to further investigate and ended up wiring a room up so they could listen in. I would like everyone to note how the FBI worked: they used a criminal looking for a better deal to set up the bigger criminal they were looking to get, and wired a room so they could listen in. yet somehow 6 pages in and not one person has called the parent that tipped this thing off a liar who is lying just to get a lesser sentence. and no one has whined about how they set up a meeting and then wire-tapped the room to listen in. not one person has questioned if the FBI had any bias towards these criminals. its almost like people think the FBI did some good work in breaking this case. keep that in mind when you hear a certain group of people who will be all over the FBI for doing the same thing to a certain Individual 1 who will go unnamed.
I'm not sure you're addressing the gist of jomar's post.Yeah, no criminal in the history of crime ever rolled for a lighter sentence.
claim ignorance. look at me, i was honest and told everyone. i thought the exorbitant amount of money i was paying was normal. cooperate. superior lawyers.If he’s dirty and the Feds are fleshing this all out, what does getting out in front it accomplish?
Criminal does not want to go to jail.I'm not sure you're addressing the gist of jomar's post.
jomar's post pointed out that the FBI used techniques almost identical to another, better known investigation currently going on. Yet, in that one, the Bureau's integrity and use of said techniques is endlessly criticized yet no one has done so in this admissions scandal.Criminal does not want to go to jail.
Criminal rats to the FBI who obtain a wiretap to get evidence on higher-ups in the scheme.
FBI bugs room, gets information, seeks warrants for arrest.
Seems pretty clear to me.
I actually have no issues with some amount of "Presidential admissions" where if you give 250k your kid gets in to USC or wherever. A school can do a lot to help disadvantaged kids get money for school with money like that (it's a lever arm). There are all kinds of doors to get into schools like these and I don't see a particular problem with a purely monetary door being there.I would suggest these lawsuits are helpful in putting the screws to colleges allowing this to happen. I bet it’s much, much more rampant than just these celebs.
Redacted to keep this non-political.jomar's post pointed out that the FBI used techniques almost identical to another, better known investigation currently going on.

Wrong.One began based on some real evidence and resulted in a ton of people getting arrested for crimes about which the original evidence pointed to. The other was based on a fantasy dossier and has led to a ton of people getting arrested for process crimes.
