I say a $5M or more fine, but no prison because they aren’t dangerous. Hit them where they care the most- their pocketbooks.
If you want to hit them where they care the most, put them in prison. That hits them in their vanity, pride, reputation and public image. Even the 2 week stint that Felicity Huffman served (she actually only served 11 days), was still a major hit. She's now a convicted felon, and the thing that most people will remember the most about her is that she went to prison. And Lori Loughlin is far more invested in her vanity and pride than Huffman was. Even 2 weeks in the "Club Fed" prison where Huffman served is likely to be a crushing blow to Loughlin's vanity. Since she was already a C-lister to begin with, this would also probably effectively end her Hollywood career. It's far harder to convey that fresh face wholesomeness that was pretty much the only thing that got her hired, when people associate you with being a major cheat, felon and convict.

The criminal justice system is garbage in this country and it would be complete bs for Lori to spend years in jail.
Breaking the law is a crime, even white-collar crime. Do the crime, do the time. You need to get over her being "Aunt Becky". That was a persona in a TV show.

The public has a really short memory.

You realize that the 60 years is not a threat. That is just a tally of what the maximum sentence is if they are found guilty of all charges. Essentially it has to assume that not only are the guilty of the charges, but they are explicitly complicit in the conspiracy portion, e.g. that they are the ones that helped to mastermind the fraud. That's the type of penalty that Rick Singer is looking at for the same charges. In this case, as they are not the ringleaders of the conspiracy, they are not going to be anywhere close to the maximum sentencing. However, the prosecutors are using the maximum possible sentence based on federal sentencing guidelines as their threat.
Np- yes, and it seems heavy handed.
There have been some leaked correspondence that Mossimo emailed an accountant regarding the pay off. He described the money used for getting his kids into USC as “working the system”
A legal analyst was trying to spin that as knowledge of fraud. I disagree those words specifically underscore the idea that both Lori and her husband thought this was a legitimate “side door”. I think they will have a strong defense that Singer essentially conned them into the scheme. They aren’t college educated. They didn’t apply to university. They might have a strong defense.
LOL And the prosecution can argue that they weren't so stupid that they didn't have an army of lawyers and business officials go over their contracts for Hollywood productions, TV deals, and the Mossimo brand.
They deliberately hid this little side deal because it was illegal. Not even touching on the daughters posed on sports equipment thing (indictments are coming for the oldest one already - https://people.com/tv/could-lori-loughlin-daughters-be-charged-college-admissions-scandal-legal-experts/).
The fact that both of them are facing 60 years each because they refused to take a deal in Summer 2019 that could have gotten them 6 months in prison shows what narcissists they are.
Their family and their kids are under so much stress because they won't admit they were wrong.

Nobody? I sure do! And I'm not even an "eat the rich nutbag"--I have no problem with rich people...HONEST rich people.
But yeah. I think Lori deserves every single minute of a 60 year sentence.
That’s ridiculous.
Everyone should be concerned that social media and the cancel culture apparently dictates who gets crucified by the court.
Her crime is really no different than the others in the college scandal. If Felicity got two weeks, then that’s the ballpark for Lori.
Violent criminals serve far less time than what Lori is facing, and that’s absurd.
I think perhaps the best punishment here is leaving her with a serious criminal record that effectively results in her not being able to have a passport/access to traveling to foreign countries along with extensive probation that she must pay for. Make her wear an ankle monitor for a year.
A. Lori's crimes involve far more money and more charges.
B. Felicity's 2 week sentence was precisely because she pleaded GUILTY. That's how the court system works. Admit your guilt and get sentenced to lesser penalties. Lori refused to cop a plea so no she doesn't get what Felicity did.
At this point with 3 separate charges against her there is zero possibility a jury or judge will find her not guilty on all three. She's looking at least 1 year's sentence at minimum thanks to her grandstanding and as much as 60 years if something damning comes out.
+100
Lori also took more affirmative steps to further her criminal activities. the crew photo shoot being the most damning. And Lori doesn’t get more sympathy for refusing a plea. That’s on her. I’m sure her Attorneys told her to take it.

Also if you have to pay $500,000 which is a lot of money to get your kids into USC, that is punishment enough. USC is not that great of a school, especially if you don't like or care about football. Many stupid people attend this school - it is not an ivy league top university and girlfriend is paying 1/2 a million to get her kids in. Free Aunt Becky and her 2 low IQ kids - this is bullcrap!!!
