I have a hard time believing a lawyer told them not to take the deal......even a first year law student would know money laundering when he sees it.

Singer set-up an effecient money-laundry.

<><> The bribes to get the kids into the schools were "washed" through a phony "do-good" foundation, listed as "donations."

<><> Bribers now have tax problems b/c they listed the bribe as a on their returns as “charitable donation to the fake foundation”

<><> Singer even sent the bribers written letters (paper trail) in return that said, “Thank you for your generous donation.”

<><>To legitiize the bribes, Singer sent out receipts (paper trail) falsely indicating that “no goods or services were exchanged” for their supposed donations to the foundation, according to authorities.

<><> Loughlin and her husband allegedly hid their payments in two $200,000 wire transfers to the “charity” to get their daughters into USC.

<><> Another couple allegedly made a contribution of $400,000 to secure admission for their daughter to Georgetown. One family is accused of “donating” $900,000.

<><> Felicity Huffman paid $15,000 to the fake “foundation” on behalf of her eldest daughter, according to the FBI.

<><> Using the US mail to facilitate the fraud also comes with penalties.....as do wire-transfers.
