I have never understood this whole thing. The children of donors and alumni have always been given special consideration at colleges.
When exactly did that become a crime

I never understood the legal basis for prosecuting these people for fraud. Who exactly was the victim of this “fraud?”

When it dawned on the left that it subverts affirmative action. Can’t have that white privilege trumping POC privilege.

Elite colleges have special gifts offices to accept "donations" for special considerations. The crime was that he paid the money to the wrong person.

His approach involved actual fraud.
But yeah, many have paid much more to get a dull kiddo into a college of choice.

Many of them had someone else take the SAT for their child. That is fraud and “injures” those that took the test legitimately.

They're guilty of a crime when they gave money to Singer via a "charitable" enterprise, then deducted it from their taxes as a charitable donation. The "charitable" enterprise was owned by Singer and was his personal piggybank.
Bribing college officials has always been legal, as long as one did it in the form of a "donation." But Singer and company went beyond that.

Colleges know it too, and they let the kids in because of the expected donations they get later. That said, those kids must have been dummmmmmmmb.
