There is a big difference between writing a $500K check to a college to buy a spot at the front of the admission line and writing a $500K check to a third party to change SAT results, fake an athletic scholarship, and otherwise fraudulently get your kid to the front of the line.
The problem is $500K will not buy you a spot at the front of a top tier college admission line anymore. It would cost several million dollars to buy off USC. What is a poor rich liberal who is not a politician supposed to do?
Yeah, USC has too many settlements to pay for a measly 500K.
Laughlin left a huge paper and elecronic trail.
