Actresses and chief executives are among 50 people arrested in a nationwide college admissions cheating scam, authorities announced Tuesday.
According to charging documents, actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among those involved facing charges.
The suspects allegedly paid bribes of up to $6 million to get their kids into elite colleges, including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and USC.
In most cases, the students did not know their admission was contingent on a bribe.
University athletic coaches and administrators of college entrance exams were also among those arrested.
The alleged scam centered around a man in California who ran a business helping students get into the college of their choice.
Authorities say parents would pay him a predetermined amount, with full knowledge of what they were doing. He would then steer the money to one of two places: either an SAT or ACT administrator, or a college athletic coach.
The coaches would allegedly arrange a fake profile that listed the prospective student as an athlete, and exam administrators would either hire proctors to take the test or correct the answers of a student.
The bribes ranged from a few thousand dollars to up to 6 million, according to officials. The charging documents, unsealed in Boston federal court, are more than 200 pages long.
They allege that Huffman and her husband "made a purported charitable contribution of $15,000...to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter. Huffman later made arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for her younger daughter, before deciding not to do so."
Federal agents say they have recorded telephone calls with Huffman and a cooperating witness.
The documents say the Loughlin and her husband "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team -- despite the fact that they did not participate in crew -- thereby facilitating their admission to USC."
Official say they have emails from Loughlin.
THESE BLEEDING HEARTS who are constantly on camera talking about the little people they claim to worship MAKE ME SICK. Yeah, you’re much better than the rest of us. Lying, cheating scum.
Yes, I laugh every time a famous athlete “got a 4.0 in whatever”.
I figure most of them are scams.
Two star basketball players at my alum stole a woman’s purse (while I was in college at the same time). They used her credit cards, as I recall (been awhile).
AFAIK, they were not removed from the team. I remember one name but not the other. I won’t name it either.
And Macy’s always Holier than Thou politically. What a joke. So you can act. It doesn’t give you any decency or character. Lying cheats.
Hmmm...
I’m sure there are all kinds of tricks to get into places like Harvard / Yale, etc.
LMAO. I’m stealing that graphic.
Wharton is now “not a good school” ?
I stole it too. LOL
Orange really is the new black I guess...
Yes, and those cheaters are a big reason college courses have been dummied down, so as to be a joke.
Well, they were just doing the jobs normal Americans couldn’t afford to do. Like sending little Johnny to an Ivy League school with a big payoff.
[Huffman then went on to say, “My two daughters are special and will be attending a much more elite college than this disgusting person that was elected by the stupid people of this country”]
Is there a link for that? I didn’t see it right off at the article. Maybe I missed it. I believe you. TIA
Dubya to some extent. But I'm thinking more of the "Royal Family of Massachusetts".
“”Rest assured they are both flaming libs look at their twitter pages.””
I was speaking of all the parents - not just the two actresses. Anyone and everyone involved - school administrators, coaches etc. Including school officials is a no brainer..they know nothing but the liberal/progressive way.

I think it is safe to assume they are all liberals unless proven otherwise in situations like this. Like if a hate crime is real or fake.
Why?
Agree.
Wharton business school is higher ranked than Harvard. Meanwhile macy said he wanted his daughters to enjoy a lustful sex life.
Hallmark chick flicks?
I like Hallmark movies. After the first ten minutes you exactly what's going to happen. If the boyfriend is a real estate developer or a lawyer, he's hosed. If the guy is kind of a slouch but living the dream, or if he a prince, he'll get the babe in the end. Well, not the end the end. I think you know what I mean.
