[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the public has a right to see all 700+ names no matter who they are. It seems that the first 50 names were picked. If the 700 names are not revealed the public will feel there is another cheating scandal going on. People with more connections or money keeping their names out of the public eye. [/quote]

I don't think you're going to see the 700 names.  The ones that were charged were caught in a sting, some of the things they paid for may not have even been within the offerings fo Singer's group before the FBI became involved.  Not defending anyone, but it's unlikely they have the goods on past clients.[/quote]

They will be outed if their tax forms reflect “donations” to Singer’s fake charity.[/quote]

I don't know, unless the donors are already public record, I don't see how they are definitely going to be outed without some sort of evidence.  Seems like it was registered as a charity, it takes work to show someone made a donation in exchange for services, it takes work to show they knew the charity was fraudulent.  It's one thing to throw out the number 700 at a press conference, something else to produce the names.  We'll see.[/quote]

The Feds have Singer's emails, texts, and banking records. They likely have those of most of his associates. They are first going after the low hanging fruit (current clients they have on tape). They will be working their way down the list of his former clients.

Investigators interview Singer and friends to find out what help they gave to your family. Your cancelled check or wired money is easily identified as is the donation claimed on your tax return. Your child entered or graduated from a certain elite school, also easily verified. The investigators ask the school for your child's admission criteria and then contacts your child's High School to confirm the information. The only thing missing is taped evidence, but cases have been made without it. [/quote]
