[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many kids did he get into Georgetown for 3.5 million? That is a lot of $$. I'm shocked a parent would even pay a bribe for Georgetown. I can't help but think none of this really matters. He should have to pay back all the $ to the state as a fine, but it makes no sense to stick him in jail. Who exactly did he hurt?[/quote]

He hurt all the GT applicants who would have been admitted if not for those stolen seats secured through bribes.[/quote]

How could you ever show that someone wasn't admitted because of these bribes? How did it hurt them, in a way that could be compensated in a court of law. Putting this guy in jail is a terrible waste of taxpayer $$.[/quote]

People should not be punished with jail time unless you can point to a specific victim? That's a very odd system of justice.[/quote]

Right.  How about deterrence value, which is huge for white collar cases.  Rich folks are terrified of jail.[/quote]
