"We only turned to a life of white collar crime because Affirmative Action caused our kids to miss out!"
Handing out the last basketball scholly to a 5-foot-6 rich white kid is a skit Chappelle was born to write.
gotta admit that this is a great scam. 300k seems crazy high for this, but what do I know.
because money doesn't matter to them, but the prestige of their kid at Yale does. Too bad Yale's admissions doesn't take bribes directly.
I just meant that you got there first.
I agree, but thought it was always "discretion of the admissions team". Didn't realize they went to such great lengths to make the application look good.
I think its more of the:
This was my first thought: why didn't they just donate the money right to the school for a new technology wing or something, like other wealthy/celeb parents have been doing for decades?
In some of the cases the kids were in on the scam. They posed for the "athletic" pictures that were sent in to support (on paper) their admission based on lower qualifying standards because of their athletic prowess.
How can the kids not be in on the scam? Don’t the kids wonder how they suddenly scored a 1540 on the SAT without studying? Or why people at school seem to think they play tennis when they don’t?
I guess, just going by what was said in the press conference....maybe they were not aware of the whole breadth of it. For things like the SAT, they said that b/c they were able to have the test given in private, the proctor was paid off, and that person reviewed it and changed answers before submitting to the SAT board.
I'm willing to bet he also had to pay more than Judge Smails to get a membership in Caddyshack.
Guy couldn't get any respect at all. Surprising that he never complained about it.
Lori Loughlin, 54, and Mossimo Giannulli, 55
Their kids: The daytime Emmy-award winning actress and her husband, a fashion designer, have two daughters together, Isabella Rose, 20, and Olivia Jade, 19, who has a YouTube channel of beauty tips.
What did they allegedly do?: Investigators say in the affidavit that in July 2016, the couple "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC (University of Southern California) crew team, despite the fact they did not participate in crew, thereby facilitating their admission to USC."
CW-1 advised Giannulli in a July 2016 email that his older daughter's academic qualifications were at or just below the "low end" of USC's admission standards. "Thereafter, the Giannullis agreed with CW-1 to use bribes to facilitate her admission to USC as a recruited crew coxswain, even though she did not row competitively or otherwise participate in crew," the affidavit says.
In October 2016, CW-1 instructed the couple to "send $50,000 to Donna Heinel, senior women's associate athletic director at USC." The daughter was notified she was admitted in March 2017, and one week later the couple was sent an invoice from Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF) for $200,000.
In April, Giannulli wired the money to KWF. "The following day, an employee of CW-1 sent the Giannullis a receipt from KWF falsely indicated that 'no goods or services were exchanged' for the purported donation" to the purported charity. (In order to qualify as a charity and as a tax deduction, no goods or services can be exchanged for supposed charitable donations."
Heinel was among multiple college sports officials charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering in connection with the case.
The Giannullis also followed the same process for their younger daughter to get into USC, the affidavit says.
According to one of Olivia Jade's online videos, she wasn't that interested in college anyway because of her extensive work schedule, as she explained to her nearly 2 million followers in the summer of 2018.
“I don’t know how much of school I’m gonna attend,” she said in the video. “But I’m gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it all. But I do want the experience of, like, game days, partying…I don’t really care about school, as you guys all know.”
