Can someone explain how these charges apply?

I get the mail and wire bit -- I assume they sent payments by wire and a check in the mail.

What's the "fraud" bit in it? If they paid the handler to get their daughter into school, while that's unethical, where's the fraud part of that transaction? Both sides knew the plan.

Or was it that they sent payments to ABC nonprofit for a certain purpose, but it was really for another purpose?

The attempt to pass them off as crew members.  There are emails that show that Singer asked them to take photos as crew rowers so that they could be accepted as sports recruits for preferential treatment.  Giannulli actually took such photos and also responded to the emails that he was willing to pass them off as athletic recruits for a sport that they had never participated in. Sending those photos via email constitutes part of wire fraud.  They sent fraudulent materials over email.[/quote]

Thanks for the explanation. I guess the defrauded/injured party is USC then, represented by the state's attorney?[/quote]
