Nobody? I sure do! And I'm not even an "eat the rich nutbag"--I have no problem with rich people...HONEST rich people. But yeah. I think Lori deserves every single minute of a 60 year sentence. |
She should get 5 years and significant community service time with disadvantaged youths. |
I think she deserves about a year. She did substantially more than felicity and even she got some time. |
Np, and I more or less agree. I think 60 is too much, but she deserves at least 5. The schools I got into (which include two ivys) were my own doing - no legacy, no bribery, no private schools, and I maintain my integrity. Schools aren't everything, however - better to go to community college and be an honest soul, than a cheat in a "brand" school - the likes of Lori are the real lunatics. I have zero sympathy. |
| Aunt Becky should not go to prison - she is not a dangerous criminal. I love you Aunt Becky and Full House and yes I watch Fuller House too. Also if you have to pay $500,000 which is a lot of money to get your kids into USC, that is punishment enough. USC is not that great of a school, especially if you don't like or care about football. Many stupid people attend this school - it is not an ivy league top university and girlfriend is paying 1/2 a million to get her kids in. Free Aunt Becky and her 2 low IQ kids - this is bullcrap!!! |
You're calling those kids low IQ with your language skills? Look in the mirror dummy. |
| I say 1 year in prison an $5M fine (10x the bribe). That’s enough to make people sit up and pay attention. |
20 kids!!!! |
Well, she deserves what she gets. Celebrities aren’t above the law. |
Shut up Aunt Becky! I was sticking up for you here. |
No, it's really not. Loughlin has a net worth of about $6M. But her husband has a net worth of about $80M. That's a drop in the bucket for them. |
You realize that the 60 years is not a threat. That is just a tally of what the maximum sentence is if they are found guilty of all charges. Essentially it has to assume that not only are the guilty of the charges, but they are explicitly complicit in the conspiracy portion, e.g. that they are the ones that helped to mastermind the fraud. That's the type of penalty that Rick Singer is looking at for the same charges. In this case, as they are not the ringleaders of the conspiracy, they are not going to be anywhere close to the maximum sentencing. However, the prosecutors are using the maximum possible sentence based on federal sentencing guidelines as their threat. |
10% of their net worth especially when they live in the most expensive state in the U.S. and are probably paying $1M in legal fees between the two of them fighting the federal government is not a drop in the bucket. |
Np- yes, and it seems heavy handed. There have been some leaked correspondence that Mossimo emailed an accountant regarding the pay off. He described the money used for getting his kids into USC as “working the system” A legal analyst was trying to spin that as knowledge of fraud. I disagree those words specifically underscore the idea that both Lori and her husband thought this was a legitimate “side door”. I think they will have a strong defense that Singer essentially conned them into the scheme. They aren’t college educated. They didn’t apply to university. They might have a strong defense. |
LOL And the prosecution can argue that they weren't so stupid that they didn't have an army of lawyers and business officials go over their contracts for Hollywood productions, TV deals, and the Mossimo brand. They deliberately hid this little side deal because it was illegal. Not even touching on the daughters posed on sports equipment thing (indictments are coming for the oldest one already - https://people.com/tv/could-lori-loughlin-daughters-be-charged-college-admissions-scandal-legal-experts/). The fact that both of them are facing 60 years each because they refused to take a deal in Summer 2019 that could have gotten them 6 months in prison shows what narcissists they are. Their family and their kids are under so much stress because they won't admit they were wrong. |
