While wrong, it is real life. Parents want the best for their kids. In this case they used something they have boatloads of to "help" them. IMO, this thing is way overblown. $1,000,000 bond? There was a lady DUI kill a police and her bond was like 150k. Murderers don't get that unless they're serial killers. And for some odd reason, my mind sees accepting the bribe is worse than offering the bribe.
Serious questions. Do you realize that people actually do jail time for lying to get their kids in better schools (ie using a fake address, etc)? Do you realize one of the schools (UT) has had a case revolving around student admissions go all the way to the Supreme Court? It’s not overblown at all.
Jesus f****** christ, I am so glad I have three boys. Birthday? How about you and your buddies all go shoot the s*** out of each other with paintballs or drive go-karts? Character ethic vs personality ethic. Sadly, personality wins in this country.
The media is having a field day because of the names involved. They should feel the pain - and they will - but this isn't a crime deserving of jailtime. I'm not sure it's worth the FBI involvement time. This country has so many other serious issues that need to be addressed without wasting time ticketing jaywalkers.
I believe people are tired of rich people and white collar crimes being met with a slap on the wrist compared to some lengthy sentences being given out to people who are doing other types of crimes.
I agree, I'm surprised this is such an issue. Are the universities upset they are not receiving the bribes for the children that got into their college? I presumed that rich University donors were automatically getting their kids accepted. Meh
Kraft did worse. His penalty is to take an education course on prostitution, complete 100 hours of community service, subject himself to an STD screening test and pay some court costs.
Some of these schools are public universities that have had legal cases made for admittance and some of these kids were admitted under athletics they didn’t qualify for which impacts the NCAA. People have done jail time for lying to get access to public education. I’m surprised anyone is surprised that this is such an issue.
No big deal though.... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mo...ssions-scandal/ar-BBUYVCw?ocid=ob-fb-enus-280
What is funnier is the fathers who enable these little middle class and up wannabe narcissistic princesses.
They get kicked out of college, total waste of time. If they were adults when they participated they could be charged as adults. They might not be able to get into another, reputable school. They will have to take the REAL tests too, and if they couldn't do it the first time, it's JuCo for them (not that there's anything wrong with that) For people like Olivia Jade and her sister, their career as a socialite is ruined. The upside, for a very few, they learn the adult lesson that crime don't pay.
The NBA is a private entity that can hire who they want. NCAA teams kinda aren’t the same. The NCAA has a plethora of rules on place regarding eligibility, kickbacks for players, etc. So do some of these public colleges. But hey, no big deal.
The feds take mail and wire fraud pretty seriously, no matter the circumstances. And hey, all Martha Steward did was a little minor insider trading...why were the feds wasting time with that?
Whoops... _______ Dr. Dre had earlier joked that his daughter had not bribed or scammed her way into the university, unlike other celebrity or executive children. But cynics pointed out that he was part of a $70 million donation to the school five years ago, along with partner Jimmy Iovine, to found an institute. Dre subsequently removed the Instagram post. https://deadline.com/2019/03/dr-dre...ast-on-daughters-usc-admission-1202581549/amp/
