Hot Pockets heiress Michelle Janavs has been sentenced to five months in prison for paying $300,000 to get her two daughters into prestigious schools as part of the college bribery scandal.

She told the judge that she was ' so very sorry' trying to 'create an unfair advantage' for her children.

Prosecutors had asked that she be put away for 21 months.

The judge went on the lower end of their request but also imposed two years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.

Her family´s company, Chef America, was sold to Nestle in 2002 for more than $2 billion.

I do not know Ms. Janavs net worth but my guess is she was wealthy enough to get her kids into USC the ole fashioned way; a seven figure donation.

After affirmative action college admissions are a joke. Why not just allow them to buy it?

And trators walk free...I think a hefty fine and community service at a low level would be better. Maybe cleaning toilets in parks...

The most shocking part of this news story is that there exists a “Hot Pockets heiress”.

The cool thing about the donation is you can get a building or a teaching chair named after you. ;-)

From the perspective of us here at FR the money used was a waste.

One wonders who were the Administrators who took the money and admitted the kid? Are they going to be named? Will they face any penalties?

Why aren’t the crooks at the college, the ones who took the bribes, being prosecuted?

I can’t get excited by these payoffs. I don’t see it as any different than Jared Kushner’s vile father buying Harvard a building and getting all his kids in, or C-average morons like George W. Bush getting into Yale just because daddy and grandpappy did.

Underqualified college students graduate. The degree has no connection to learning.

Well, perhaps she should have taken advantage by telling her kids to ID as black or hispanic per this:
