It's Gordon Caplan and he paid $75,000 to get his daughter's ACT score change.

B.GORDON CAPLAN

46.Defendant GORDON CAPLAN is a resident of Greenwich, Connecticutand New York, New York.  CAPLAN is an attorney and the co-chairman of an international law firm based in New York.

47.In or about November and December 2018, [b]CAPLAN participated in the college entrance exam cheating scheme by making a purported charitable donation of $75,000 to KWF, [/b]in exchange for which CW-1 arranged to have CW-2 purport to proctor CAPLAN’s daughter’s ACT exam and correct the answers after she had completed it.

Later that same day, [b]CW-1 had a follow-up call with CAPLAN in which he again explained, in substance, how the scheme worked, and inparticular the need for CAPLAN’s daughter “to be stupid”when a psychologist evaluated her for learning disabilities in order to obtain the documentation necessary[/b] to obtain extended time on the exam.  The following are two excerpts from the conversation[/quote]

I can't even :shock:  :shock: 
So the daughter needs to 'be stupid' for her evaluation. Was the evaluating psychologist also 'stupid' to be blatantly fooled like that or was he/she also in on the scheme? My money is on the latter.[/quote]
