They should have studied the intersectionality chart and checked the right boxes to game their way through the college admission process. That and paying the sticker price would have guaranteed their way; no need to “cheat” with the rowing pic thing. I can’t wait until the whole rotten edifice of the higher ed - finance complex burns to the ground.

Here's their latest desperation to avoid extensive Prison terms.

Singer steered Wilson away from schools where he is not believed to have had connections, the transcripts show. MIT is “not even a fun place to go to school, John.” As for Caltech: “Nobody goes to CalTech or MIT that’s a regular kid.” Dartmouth “doesn’t have a true engineering program.”
But Stanford, he told Wilson, is “the number one school in America.”
“They got everything,” Singer said. “They got the weather — ”
“Yeah.”
“They got sports, they got grade inflation, they offer every major. I mean, they’re the —”
“Yeah.”
“If anybody could go there,” Singer finished, “that’s the place.”
If Wilson paid him $1.2 million, he could get the girls into those schools through the “side door” — a euphemism Singer used to describe a scheme in which he bought off college coaches willing to sell spots at schools reserved for recruited athletes. ...“Is there a two-for-one special?”
Singer laughed off the suggestion. Wilson then asked what he could get in the $300,000 to half-million-dollar range. “That’s, uh, Georgetown,” Singer said, “Boston College, Georgia Tech, USC, UCLA, Berkeley.”

Right.
Rick Singer must be the good guy -- he'll do no time.
But send Aunt Becky away for decades.
Nothing wrong with this picture.
These repeated posts with no comment linking articles reminds me of the guy posting with regard to his conspiracy theories on the Epstein thread, either a Russian troll or an anti-Semite.

Must be.
I mean it's not like the American Justice system gave a sweetheart deal to Epstein and Singer. And Weinstein et al.
That's just crazy thinking
Not my kind of expertise.

Lori Loughlin's defense is starting with the fact the so-called incriminating photos of her daughters on a rowing machine NEVER made their way to USC.
On another note ... there's a story out that Lori hired a "prison expert" to help her handle life behind bars if she's convicted and sent to prison. Totally false. Never met with a "prison expert."

The core of the defense is that USC invites donations like the ones Lori and Mossimo made to the school. It's an institutionalized form of admission for a price, and it is in no way, shape or form bribery.

On Friday Douglas Hodge, former CEO of Pacific Investment Management Co. (Pimco), faced U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in court in Boston. It did not go well for him. He received a prison sentence of nine months, the longest sentence handed down so far in the Operation Varsity Blues scandal.
Hodge is a serial abuser of the college admissions process. Mr. Hodge paid $850,000 to William “Rick” Singer to get four of his children accepted into Georgetown and USC and was in the process of doing the same for his fifth child. Of the 36 parents charged in this scandal, he shelled out the most money to cheat the college admissions system. His fine of $750,000 is less than the amount he spent to participate in Singer’s scheme. Hodge also was sentenced to two years of supervised release and 500 hours of community service.
Mr. Hodge gave a tearful apology in court and, after the judge imposed his sentence, hugged a friend who had come with him. “I know my actions were inconsistent with the person I tried to be in this world,” he told the judge.
“I know that I unfairly, and ultimately illegally, tipped the scales in favor of my children over others, over the hopes and dreams of other parents, who had the same aspirations for their children as I did for mine,” Mr. Hodge said in court Friday. He said he wasn’t driven by ego, but rather sought to give his own children a transformative educational experience like he had received.
He also tried to protect his children by saying they “did nothing to deserve the consequences they have suffered as a result of my actions.”
To add insult to injury, one year Hodge even took a tax deduction for some of his bribes.
