[quote]Original tipster who led federal authorities to the biggest college-admissions scam they’ve ever prosecuted was [b]Morrie Tobin, a Los Angeles resident who was being investigated in a securities fraud case[/b], according to a person familiar with the investigation.

[b]Mr. Tobin was being questioned in an alleged pump-and-dump investment scheme—in which people conspire to inflate the price of a stock so they can sell it at a profit—when he offered a tip to federal authorities in an effort to obtain leniency[/b], according to people familiar with the matter.

The financial executive, who attended Yale University, told investigators that the head women’s soccer coach at Yale had sought a bribe in return for getting his daughter into the Ivy League school.[/quote]

So an alleged Ivy League scam artist dropped this dime on hundreds of families to get himself out of trouble. Wow.[/quote]

You're surprised that dishonest people will out other dishonest people to get themselves out of trouble?  Color me shocked.[/quote]
