USC is one step above community College and you have to pay a bribe? Those must be some really dumb kids wtf?? I can understand greasing a few palms to get into Yale but USC?? My wife's cousin is a USC grad and the dumbass of the family. Lol
Corrupted school officials and they violate privacy!
Lori Laughlin and her husband paid 500k , so more than this man, and are apparently being sentenced to 2 and 5 months? Wtf
lmfao all for USC. not even an actually good school. this school is just standard. how dumb are their kids?
Locked them up. They are teaching their children to be corrupt.
Wow I want to attend USC in the future! Ducking rich people cutting corners
Who got the money?
USC is just as guilty
What about the University that took the money?
They are just as guilty
That’s just a slap on the wrist. It’s called rich man justice.
In my opinion
What did the college get
MONEY
HELLO
no crime for the college taking the MONEY
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
In my opinion
Did he get his money back
If not wheres the crime.
Services rendered.
You can see these people getting real and realizing that they can't beat it . They are smart and pleading out because if they had went to trial they could have gotten a lot more time,. They got smart and good lawyer s.This is interesting to see people like that Who snubbed other's and think that they are untouchable to be put on the spot sorta sad .and weird in a way.!! White collar crinmal s. !!
"Describing his son as a 6'1 varsity basketball standout, when in reality he's only 5'5" that kid just can't catch a break
Doesn't everyone know that rich people pay to get into college?
USC = University of Spoiled Children.
Damn it really is how much money you have and you get away.
You can only imagine what USC does illegally for real athletes….what a scam
This guys kids are so stupid just as their dad
If the university wasn’t even accepting money then these people wouldn’t be in trouble. Imagine being loaded, you’d wanna spend it on your kids education I’m rich who cares. I feel like the University should be the one in trouble
6 months and what’s her name got 1 week lol
6 months is not long enough to teach a lesson. Just like the 2 weeks that Felicity Hoffman got. Being sentenced to a country club prison doesn't teach a lesson either. Regular prison with a very long sentence and heafty fine is the only way to do it. If safety is a factor then put them in isolation. Just because you are rich and famous, shouldn't mean that you should be treated differently than anyone else. A crime is a crime no matter what.
I guess his son won't be playing for the Harlem Globetrotters then?
Are their kids that thick that they can't get in on merit?
🆔️🔞&👍 racketeering charges are you serious,come on man that got to be a joke.
The college system itself is a scam. #freeEduacation
What's surprising is ,they still don't seem to have any remorse except for the fact that they were caught! That amount they spent X 3 , equal s what they can be charged for? Wow that's More than most people see in there life time, and just throw away this? Why does this not make sense, I need to borrow money to fix an fridge going bad to keep food, geazzz . Unbelievable I feel bad for the ones who has done there quitly stuff and feessd up ! That took guts!!! Had to be hard !
Only 6 months!? Shameless! #Tulsi2020 #EndCorruption
So why that stupid lady don't get any time like that I don't understand that she even pay more for her stupid girls to get in school not fair
6 months? Should be 6 years in jail instead.
Ok but who’s taking the bribes?? Who’s allowing these people to pay them to get their kids into school?!! Charging the parents is needed, I agree! But where’s the people that took the bribes and wheres their court days? There can’t just be one!
Rich people buy their kids into college all the time. How is this different?
This is why college is a joke
He got sentence quickly, but when the famous lady from full house did that the scandal took like months to get settled
I’m absolutely sure this is nothing new. Fraternities and Sororities contribute without a blink of an eye.
Hey lori
Keep smiling
I bet this goes on more than we know…. all over the world
Is USC REALLY that great of a school that people are wanting in so bad??? Am I missing something??
The University of Spoiled Children is just as guilty.
Why am I not surprised by this? Oh yeah, because it’s not a smart move on the parents’ behalf to be part of a huge scandal that has major impact on college students who have worked their butts off to get to attend the college of their choice and then find out that they have been denied while parents who are rich, but not famous, bribe and falsify their children’s grades on their SAT scores, have their children use accommodations that they clearly didn’t need because they didn’t have any disability, and/or claim that their child is pro at (insert unusual sport available here) when it’s clear that they have used photoshop on posters of students they don’t even know.
Sorry if I’m ranting, I am very frustrated with this whole scandal thing because I have been a student attending a community college for a couple years now and I’ve legitimately needed accommodations for me to be successful in my classes as I have cerebral palsy and ADHD, alongside executive functioning skill deficits that are the result of a brain hemorrhage that I had before I was born. I never took the SAT or ACT, so I didn’t go into the college I had originally applied for. Community college has allowed me a smoother transition to help me out with my college and career path.
Honestly I hope that karma will teach everyone that played a part in this scandal a powerful lesson that they shouldn’t be using their rich and fame influences as a privilege of getting their children in the best colleges out there. Children who are heading towards college must work towards their own goals for getting admitted into the college of their choice, not having their parents be led astray by methods used in this scandal such as believing a company that claims that they could help them with getting their children into their dream college by telling parents to have their kids fake disabilities, have a proctor change their SAT scores, etc.
I’m telling you, if another scandal like this happens again, then it is clear that the United States is failing its next generation of their workforce and leaders. The education system is going to need to be flipped over 180 degrees to be successful. This is only my opinion. I am curious about what other people have to say about this, but please be respectful of each other’s opinions, because there’s no right or wrong answer to this issue.
Don’t you mean George Clintonopoulos! Biased political partisan hack!
