Okay, so you’re American but haven’t yet learned that lies and misrepresentations on legal documents are actionable?
Sorry I called you a dumb AF Canadian when you’re actually a dumb AF American.
1. Does "actionable" equal CRIMINAL in this case?
2. What "legal documents" were involved here? Please post a copy of a USC application where it says in clear language that the applicant signs the document under penalty of perjury, etc.
3. The only one who can demonstrate any financial loss here is the applicant and family members who misled the school. Even if they didn't pay a penny to bribe the third-party agent as part of the deception, they still paid an application fee to the school. And they've paid tens of thousands of dollars in tuition and fees to the school on behalf of the student, too.
I would suggest that the "crime" here was the equivalent of using a fake name to order a magazine subscription for someone who can't even read. The magazine publisher got the money, the magazine was delivered, and nobody should give a sh!t if the name on the mailing label was fake.
