These folks provided a service, in a way. Now there's no reason for anyone who actually chooses to go to a college they can afford or didn't get into a college they should have to even wonder if they missed out on a better education!
Yeah, lock them up, if they did any more than pay a fee for an admissions counselor who didn't break any rules. Add a few tears for how smug some of them are being about it.
Well, it worked for Comey and Clinton, why not?
Seems to me, a defense is going to have to pass the smell test.
“I didn’t INTEND to defraud. How was I to know the per semester amount paid was multitudes more expensive than the typical enrollee??”
Well, at least stories like this help identify ‘journalists’ who are for rent. She wasn’t a victim of a con artist. She got exactly what she paid for.
As I understand it, their kids were getting in on a rowing scholarship and they had never rowed. Loughlin had to realize because their kids were getting in, some other actual deserving kid was not because when it comes to college admissions, it is a zero sum gain. Someone gets in, that leaves one less spot for everyone else. Yeah, this defense isn’t going to work Aunt Becky. But don’t worry, with your looks you should do well in prison...
Ahhhhhh, the Hillary Clinton defense comes to the rescue.
I didn't intend to shoot the guy in the head...!!
I didn't intend to drive 105mph in a 35mph zone...!!
I didn't intend to not pay taxes for 20 years...!!
I didn't intend to lie in court ...!!
LOL!!!
Someone should gently sit these fools down and explain to them that they don’t get to be victims here. White rich people are not allowed the victim card and trying to use it will only make them less sympathetic. They are being very ill severed by their law team. When their daughters are charged it will pit them against their kids.
So let me get this straight, you spent roughly 500k or so in bribes to get your daughters into USC under false pretenses, but you don’t feel you broke any laws... so that means you aren’t guilty?
Wow, she has far more confidence in her acting ability than she should....
Another “I’m too pretty to get convicted”
....”They realize how serious the charges are, but feel that once the judge hears their story he will see they had no bad intentions,”....
0bama did it, and said it was okay for others to run the same play.
After all, our money can buy the happiness of getting our dumb as rocks children into a school.
So, what would you rather have happen, some deplorable in a MAGA hat with a 190 IQ and unlimited potential....
oh wait
They knew. Prob did not think about the severe consequences.
"They in no way felt they were money laundering," the source says. "They thought the money would be used for a donation and to benefit the school. Even so, this has been one of the toughest decisions of Lori‘s life."
The charge of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, whichever is greater. The charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $500,000 or twice the value of the property involved in the money laundering.
Ultimately, if convicted and sentenced to the maximum extent of the law, Loughlin could face up to 40 years in jail. But many experts agree that the chance of sentencing that severe is almost nonexistent.
Bad intentions. Road to hell is paved with good ones. Maybe the road to jail is paved with bad ones.
