What was Sidwell thinking when they hired the crooked college fixer Rick Singer as their expert in a lawsuit?

Wow. They paid him $300 an hour for a pile of lies.

I don't think the parents' law suit was successful anyway. More to that story too, I'm sure.

Well obviously they didn’t know he was crooked then—that just came to light. Just goes to show what a con man he was.

Agree with this. He defrauded the school. Awful stuff.

So what? He’s a criminal. We all know that now.

But wouldn’t they have looked up the credentials on someone who was supposed to be their own witness? Nothing against Sidwell in particular, but they could have verified his credentials.

Sidwell has a lot of money to burn.

Family described in the story lost the case and is now appealing to the Supreme Court? Is there any public record of this case?

An association between Singer and Sidwell is hardly a surprised. Sidwell is part of the well established, cutthroat hierarchy that is private education and the families who choose to associate with it will stop at little to maintain a perception of superiority. They may not be quite as establishment focused as NCS/STA, but it’s the same idea. Power is intoxicating...

Did you know he was a con man more than 2 months ago? Clearly no one else did either.

Well said.

It was only a matter of time before a connection was revealed.

Given that he was a fraudulent "expert", does that mean that Sidwell will be liable for a retrial or the lawsuit?
