Lori Laughlin arrested for college scandal

[Anonymous]

I wouldn’t believe it til I saw it - Loughlin and her husband "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team -- despite the fact that they did not participate in crew -- thereby facilitating their admission to USC."

And Felicity Huffman, too! Yikes.

She's always weirded me out. Looking Stepford perfect virtually guarantees you have sketchy skeletons in the closet.

The kids were admitted into Harvard, Yale, Stanford, University of Southern California, and Georgetown! Wonder if they’ll get kicked out?

The indictment — filed by the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts — alleges that Huffman, Loughlin, Giuannulli and 29 other people were involved in the scheme, which bribed college entrance-exam administrators to allow cheating on the tests and university athletic coaches to designate school applicants as athletic recruits, regardless of athletic ability or experience playing a sport. The money for the payments allegedly was funneled through a charity to disguise the wrongdoing.

Oh this is going to be good. Try explaining to your kids you thought they were too stupid to get into college on their own. When do they release the names of the other 27 families with more money than brains?

Her kid is probably used to mommy pulling springs for her. She has no concept of what it means to actually earn something. She simply has been raised to fee entitled to it all.

They hired a man in CA who then turned around and hired assorted exam takers and fake officials in fake athetic departments to put together fake admissions packets for their precious babies. It was a scheme run across multiple state lines and the feds don’t play with racketeering.

Should have stuck with getting mom to buy her Hermès purses and nice cars. At least that isn’t illegal.

But what does that have to do with the mail?

Privileged white women committing white collar crime again. SMH.

I locked this because the topic is being discussed in the College Forum, but am going to reopen it because I feel a second thread dealing with the celebrities is probably warranted.

The payments were mailed or sent via wire to the bogus charity and athletics departments perpetuating the fraud. Thus wire and mail fraud
