[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Found this on the ASU thread:

Loughlin's first husband, Michael R. Burns, graduated from ASU. Burns is now the vice chairman of film company Lionsgate. Giannulli went to USC, but does not appear to have graduated.

How can Loughlin sit and bash ASU when her ex went there and is worth 10 million now. I guess an USC drop-out who makes more, but is a cheat,  is what they wanted their ditz daughter to strive for.

Have they fired her from Hallmark yet?  Has Target dropped him yet?  [/quote]

Yeah. I just don’t hate these people that much. 
Sure what they did was wrong, but I don’t really want them to loose everything because of it. I hope They aren’t dropped from their respective careers. [/quote]

So you think a slap on the wrist should suffice? That will get the people cirrrupting admissions to stop.  :roll:

Sorry, they need to lose their jobs. They are worth plenty. Their kid could have gone to any college and would still be rich. Enough with these idiots. [/quote]

Parents fined.
Kids... if they were complicit, expulsion. If not, I think they review the quality of the person’s work.[/quote]

Don't you think a fine is too easy? This is a set of people used to buying their way into and out of everything. I think they should all have some jail time, frankly.[/quote]

It seems like for many of them the absolute humiliation they are dealing with now would be more of a deterrent than a fine or a jail sentence, though the latter would certainly add to the humiliation.  I do not personally see why someone like Felicity Huffman ought to serve hard time for this, but I feel differently about the ringleaders and some of the coaches.[/quote]

For starters all parents committed tax fraud. Not sure what the penalties are there.[/quote]

I'm not sure they all committed tax fraud.  They have been charged with "conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud," which is a catchall for a lot of alleged fraudulent behavior.  Some of them may have written off the bribes/corrupt payments on their taxes, but I haven't read that they all did.  [/quote]
