The thing that really bothers me with all of this cheating is that the parents of these children think so little of them to succeed that they the parents have to cheat for them.  They have such little faith in their parenting of their children as well that maybe just maybe they can do well or better yet do their own work to prove themselves.

 @momtochloe   Wow, so the colleges tipped to the Feds? Interesting. Thanks   

I thought it was a (fake) charity set up by Singer to help launder the monies they were trying to get a tax deduction off but wasnt sure.

@SeaGal I don't know if the colleges themselves tipped off the government or if it was discovered via another path (maybe IRS audit or someone complained about the foundation to the feds and they started looking into them).  Even after sleeping on it I still can't believe how upset I am about this whole thing.

Here’s a re-print of the names (effective 3/16):

I hope they do jail time.  Just giving them a fine will not help since they already have more money than sense.  What a horrible example to set for their children.

How stupid were these parents?  There is no other word I can think of to describe them.  Their kids, being the children of wealthy people, would have had a leg up in the world anyway - any college would have sufficed.  If they couldn't get in on merit - or their parents' names on the application form - why waste the money?

Affluenza will get you whatever you want.  Need a get-out-of-jail card?  Need college acceptance?  Need a very light sentence for a huge crime?  Need a politician in your pocket?  Just show the cash.  Sadly, judges, politicians, and so many people everywhere think it's ok.

Does anyone think that the trial's will be televised?

Given their money and fame, I wonder if it'll even get to trial.  It's easy for the rich to to get out of consequences for their crimes these days.

@SeaGal  I read somewhere that a teacher started a investigation about the student who got accepted for her rowing abilities when she had none.
