Lori Loughlin’s Husband Mossimo Giannulli Sentenced in College Scandal
New York Post ^ | August 21, 2020 | Lia Eustachewich

Mossimo Giannulli, the designer hubby of former “Full House” TV star Lori Loughlin, was sentenced to five months behind bars Friday for his role in bribing their daughters’ way into college — as the disgusted judge blasted him for committing “a breathtaking crime on the nation’s higher-education system.”

Boston federal Judge Nathan Gorton OK’d the terms of Giannulli’s plea deal during a morning Zoom conference, saying the defendant’s prison sentence was “sufficient — but not greater than necessary punishment under the circumstances.”

The fashion designer will also pay a $250,000 fine and perform 250 hours of community service.

The judge’s silly rant at this sentencing hearing reinforces my view that no real crimes were committed.

This notion that “the nation's higher education system” was somehow victimized is ludicrous to point of being comical. If I ever hired employees the way these schools admit students, I would have been sued out of existence years ago.

Our higher education system IS a breathtaking crime.

Indoctrinating our youth to hate America.

Their crimes were that they gave money to a fake charity which allowed that guy to avoid taxes. And they used interstate wire services to do so.

Some of the people indicted also claimed the "contribution" on their taxes.

Simply giving money to a coach isn't a crime. Otherwise the coaches would have been indicted.
