Felicity Huffman, Lori Loughlin & Bill McGlashan Hit With $500B Suit Over Bribery Scheme (tr)

As the fallout from the nationwide elite college bribery scheme continues, the indicted Felicity Huffman, Lori Loughlin and STX Entertainment co-founder Bill McGlashan have all been hit today in a multi-billion dollar lawsuit from one very angry mother.

That’s “no less than $500,000,000,000” angry to be specific.

“Joshua applied to some of the colleges where the cheating took place and did not get in,” says award winning former Oakland school teacher Jennifer Kay Toy of her 4.2 graduating son. “Joshua and I believed that he’d had a fair chance just like all other applicants but did not make the cut for some undisclosed reason,” Toy adds in the multi-claim fraud class action filed in a San Francisco court (read it here), with a hard tone that not even the filing can hide.

Filed yesterday, the class action doesn’t just go after the American Crime star, the Fuller House actor and the managing partner of TPG Growth but all the 30 other parents and more indicted and arrested this week in the “Operation Varsity Blues” bust. Like the other parents, Huffman, Loughlin, the Garage Sale Mysteries actor’s fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli and now ex-STX board member McGlashan are being charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services fraud, according to the unsealed indictment.

Awesome. Huffmnan is a drooling anti Republican leftard.

[morphing libertarian]

were the college also sued and the coaches?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Huffman was with her LOL now she may end up in the big house with her(God willing)

[Go Gordon]

Help me. Am I to understand that even though the fix was in, the kid(s) didn’t score high enough to get in?

[Grampa Dave]

This BS has been going on for decades!

Asian kids have been discriminated against probably the most.

Then, the white kids of middle class families with great grades and excellent SATs being told no go.

The kids above had excellent grades and often attended excellent private or public schools.

[EdnaMode]

Yes I believe that is correct.

[ronnie raygun]

Would have liked to see cher, rosy O’Donnell, joy bazar whoopee Goldberg, Alyssa Milano in that situation

[Grampa Dave]

[healy61]

I would bet that these people are plainly pissed that the unwashed (as they see people) are on to them. Good. Let the anger flow out. LOL

[Hattie]

When is someone going to figure out this has to involve our US Congress and look into that? It’s going to be shut up before that just watch. That’s why nothing will really be done about any of this.

[lightman]

No four year socialist indoctrination a.k.a. “college education” is worth $500,000,000.00.

Exactly -- discrimination based on bribes is no less moral than discrimination based on skin color. Both are corruptions of our capitalist meritocracy.

You can slap any number you want o a federal lawsuit. It bears no relationship to the value of the case. Plus I don’t think she has a case: nonduty, causation is speculative, damages are speculative because she won’t be able to show a loss of income for her son because nothing prevented him from getting in some place where he could have excelled and ended up making just as much
Money. Plus I don’t think the members of the class have suffice to commonality, either because of the variation in their academic credentials and the particular admissions practices at different colleges. As I wail here endlessly, lawsuits are not magic. I predict this action will go precisely nowhere. Probably a publicity stunt by her lawyer

[fungoking]

No sympathy for the parents who cheated, but this mom sure seems like a real piece of work.

[Chode]

Yolaaannnddaaa Vega with a $500BILLION Jackpot

[MuttTheHoople]

If you’re going to go, go big.

"It's so unfair that Donald Trump still gets to be President, when an actress I love loses her job on a show I enjoy, and may have to do prison time over something that isn't as bad as any of the imaginary crimes of Donald Trump." You know that'll be the next meme. Thanks EdnaMode.

“Asian kids have been discriminated against probably the most”

Maybe some schools, but Asians are the majority or very close to it at UCLA.
