Center is the head coach of the men’s tennis team at the University of Texas at Austin. According to court documents, a witness told investigators that in 2015, Center agreed to accept approximately $100,000 from the witness as a bribe, in exchange for Center to designate a student as a UT tennis team recruit, thereby facilitating his admission to UT. The documents said the student was a California resident who did not play competitive tennis... clients paid anywhere from $100,000 to $6.5 million... The University of Texas gave the following response to KVUE: “Federal authorities notified us this morning that we were victims of an organized criminal effort involving admissions. We have just become aware of charges against our Men’s Tennis Coach Michael Center and he will be placed on administrative leave until further notice while we gather information. We are cooperating fully with the investigation. Integrity in admissions is vital to the academic and ethical standards of our university.”

I assume this photo is reversed with the left hand shake?
MONEY LAUNDERING and Mail Fraud
Laundering a bribe through a third party is the classic definition of AML rules
A factually made up application, sent through the mail, is Federal Wire Fraud.
Why not just change your name to Bush, Kennedy or Kerry and claim you are a cousin? Cheaper.
Leftys in more ways than one?
Tip of the iceberg.
Wonder if the Clintons and the Obamas made the schools pay them for the privilege of having their kids attend.
I’ve heard this a couple of times today. Do you think the Clintons and Obamas had to do anything to get their kids into college? They attend the same parties and socials as the admittance staff. All they have to do is wink.
Lots of wealthy folks gonna lose some wealth, and possibly some freedom....................
“This one time, at Band Camp, I .............”
If I had to guess. Her SAT’s are probably high. Both her parents attended Yale law school on their own merit. She went to private schools and had probably had tutors on speed dial.
Kennedy appears to have something in his right hand, but Clinton is left handed. I don’t know about JFK....................
Perhaps not a civil matter at state schools or any school that gets government $$$$$. If the parents sent the bribe through the US Postal Service, that’s a big no-no.
Do your homework.
Exactly. Every university, public or private, admits numerous children of wealthy donors/alumni, who would not qualify for regular admissions, but since parents are big donor alum they get in.
Perfect example: Ted “Dead” Kennedy, if I remember correctly while a college student he was caught cheating and was able to “transfer” to another prestigious “brand” college due to parents and family.
Who flipped the pic and why?.................
Unfortunately this taints every graduate from an elite school during the past 5 years.
Political kickback money?
Laundering it through colleges?
Aren’t most college applications done on line these days?
