No I don't sympathise with these characters.

If colleges were not rigging and complicating the admissions process we might not be here.

Some of the DCUM posts are a reflection of this bizarre lottery to get kids into College.

The whole college admissions process is becoming this weird process and our kids are getting to breaking point trying to make themselves better than their peer to get a spot.

Ends of morning rant, back to supporting exhausted ambitious kid.

LL and co broke the law. You can try to make a case that the laws shouldn't exist. But it's not a waste of taxpayer funds to enforce laws. It's illegal to bribe your way into school and take an enormous tax writeoff for it.

As far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) she and her husband are charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering, not tax evasion.

I'm guessing an audit will fix that.

LL made her bed when she wouldn’t deal. The facts and evidence to charge were always there. In order to get rid of the case and move things along, they were offered the opportunity to plead to the minimum. They rejected the deal. So if the government is going to have to try the case, of course the government is going to try their entire case.

And for anyone who thinks this is going to be a walk in the park, that is not how things go with federal charges. The idea that they can plead ignorance isn’t going to work.

I think the biggest miscalculation was their failure to realize that the feds would bring her daughter (and maybe both of them) into the web. After cooking up this scheme, they could have done better by their kids by accepting a deal and keeping their kids out of it.

I’m sure for the rich it doesn’t mean much to have a federal conviction on their record. But for the rest of us, it would be life changing.

She may be better off taking her chances. They are targeting her to make an example out of her but over 30 families were involved and we're not hearing about each and every one of them, so whats really going on and what's this really about? Is it really worth putting someone like her in jail for a non-violent crime? Give her a huge fine and probation and community service. Waste of money otherwise.

As soon as what they do is illegal.

You don’t think daddy wrote off those multi million quid pro quo donations to Harvard and NYU on his taxes?

To be clear, I dislike them immensely. But, not illegal.

If you can't understand the difference with the mountain of facts about both situations, including an entire book written about development admits 20 years ago or so, I really don't think I can explain to you why.

DP. Many immoral things are and have been legal throughout history. Universities should be held to a higher standard.

Strawman argument.

I'll tell you who likes development admits: NOBODY.

There's a reason it is done -- for every one of those undeserving development admits, many other kids get opportunities they would not otherwise have. It sucks on an individual basis, but overall, society is better for it.

That's how universities DO hold themselves up to a higher standard.

You keep telling yourself that, but in Europe and Asia, there are no development admits. Yup, LSE turned down a billionaire's daughter.

You are extremely naive if you think Europe and Asia are bastions of meritocracy with the rich and powerful having no advantage.

+1 I went to high school with a certain royal that was on all aspects pretty dumb. When a Cambridge professor looked at his stats he was like no way this guy is getting in. The British foreign service placed a call in to Cambridge, guess where this royal went?

Middlebury?
