I have never understood this whole thing. The children of donors and alumni have always been given special consideration at colleges.

When exactly did that become a crime

I can’t see this being the reason he hanged himself. It is thirty day jail sentence and a $100,000 fine, ala Lori Laughlin.

I’d want to look at his books to see if he made any large bets on real estate that he lost his shirt over.

When this college admissions “scandal” was all over the news a while back, the media acted like it was the crime of the century. It was bizarre, given that these are celebrities, and probably liberal. I guess white and rich was the issue with the media glee.

Maybe I’m out of touch, but when did the University of San Diego become an elite university?

$250K to get your son into the University of San Diego? Is USD a secret portal to the world of the Masters of the Universe? Stanford maybe but USD, WTH?

“Flaxman was among 53 people charged with paying Rick Singer, the mastermind of the scheme, to get their kids into prestigious schools.“

So, why isn’t it Rick Singer who is swinging from a rope?

When did the University of San Diego become a so-called “prestigious” school? If you say so. LOL!

Paying $325,000 to Varsity Blues college admissions scam to get both his kids into school.

When taking short cuts you get short results.

Flaxman admitted to conspiring with William ‘Rick’ Singer to have his daughter’s ACT exam corrected by a proctor, thereby fraudulently inflating the score

````````````````````````````````````````````

What did the proctor get out of it? Besides money.
