[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I don’t understand why these people had to bribe their way into universities. If they have that much money and the contacts to go with it, then does it really matter where these kids attend college? Lori Laughlin’s daughter would follow the same career path (influencer or whatever) whether she attends ASU or USC. Let’s not pretend that where these kids go to college really matters because they’re set for life no matter what. How was this worth risking their reputations and getting into legal trouble? The risk truly wasn’t worth the reward. Is it for the parents’ bragging purposes? What was the point?[/quote]

Is it possible the parents didn't know this was illegal?

I doubt they're that bright or with it. They may have thought they were just working with a really expensive college counselor with excellent results (hence why really expensive).

Like all the people who got suckered into Madoff's ponzi scheme. A lot of financial people knew something smelled wrong there but they didn't know what. And a lot more people had no clue whatsoever.[/quote]

Ignorance of the law is not a defense, lol.[/quote]
