They gave money to charities. They put this on their tax returns. If they didn’t declare the deduction then, that’s not illegal.
I really see the guy who came to them, and promised to help get their kids in school is the one they need to get to.
I tried unsuccessfully at first to get to medical school. Had I the opportunity to donate to the school, and my family could afford it, we would have.
LOUGHLIN IS IN TROUBLE IF SHE PAID PEOPLE TO TAKE TESTS, ALTER TEST SCORES ETC. BUT PAYING THE CHARITY TO GET THIER KIDS IN SCHOOL? I DON’T SEE WHERE THIS IS ILLEGAL?
I always thought bribery was the cost of doing business with any institution, government or non-government, in America.
“According to the affidavit, Singer had recorded conversations with Loughlin and Giannulli, telling them that he was under IRS scrutiny. “I just want to give you a heads-up that my foundation is being audited,” Singer — identified as a cooperating witness in the affidavit — allegedly said to Giannulli in one conversation. “They asked me about your 2 payments of $200,000. And, of course, I’m not gonna say anything about your payments going to [crew coach] Donna Heinel at USC to get the girls into USC, through crew.” “Sure,” Giannulli allegedly responded. “So I just want to make sure our stories are the same, and that your $400K was paid to our foundation to help underserved kids.” In a subsequent call with Loughlin, Singer allegedly repeated the information about the IRS. Loughlin allegedly agreed that they would tell the IRS that the money they paid was a charitable donation, and not used to secure Olivia Jade’s spot at USC. “So we just have to say we made a donation to your foundation and that’s it, end of story,” Loughlin allegedly said.”
If this is on tape, she’s going to jail.
