How many similar scams have they not caught and how many people are furiously deleting emails, shredding documents, and transferring money to off shore accounts?

^^^^ Absolutely. This creep ran his scam for 24 years. More than enough time for many other creeps to find out about it and decide that they could cash in too.

Who knows how much of the whole thing will be exposed, but I think there's plenty more there to bring to light.

Yeah, I Big Grin when thinking about all the sweaty, sleepless nights people involved in this and other scams have had (and will continue to have).

From the scammers, to the parents, to the kids, to the graduates working in business that will now have a bright light cast on them and questions brought up about the legitimacy of their degrees...

It's sweet sweet justice just knowing that. Big Grin

It’s been going on since college and high school have been around unfortunately. People will just hide the money better in the future.

"Moonbat actress" is very nearly a redundancy, is it not?

Probably. There are exceptions such as Natalie Portman.

If they got in the college under fraudulent means, but attended the school and get the degree, does that make the degree fraudulent? This is especially true if they paid the tuition to get the degree.

One wonders how far back they're going to try to unwind this. There could be people out of college, maybe grad school, and ten years into a career who could get reeled in.


It would be wonderful if they went back and investigated all of these people. Retract degrees. I'm sure many have what are essentially fake degrees and got great paying jobs with those fake degrees. Hope it gets them fired from their jobs, too.

The liberals want to talk about white privilege but yet ignore shit like this because of their celebrity worship.

It has become increasingly clear, if you get into college, you get the degree. “Academic rigor” is an anachronism.

At USC, Admissions Cheating Scandal Runs Deeper

More than a mere coach cashing in, FBI affidavit outlines far more systemic fraud at USC, where alleged bribes became a form of athletics fundraising

Yale rescinds admission of a student whose family paid $1.2 million to get her in

These people make incredibly bad financial decisions, let alone ethical or legal ones.

There will never be a return on that sort of investment for a degree from Yale over another school give the same boneheaded student and level of work/competence.

$1.2 MILLION?!?!? Come on, buy them a franchise or three. Buy them a racecar and a plane. Buy them a mutual fund. But spending that just to get in to a school where they may or may not hack it? Insane.

The fake athletic profiles were something else. The school itself, and certainly the Yale athetic director clearly did not do their job. It is very easy to check out an athlete's credentials in any college level sport. All the information is online. A person with a high school degree could check the basic athletic credentials by several phone calls to the guidance counselor of the high school, or several soccer coaches. Most of the schools want a video collection of the kids performance. In fact most of the kids know who the elite players are.

At USC, Lynn Swann, the Athletic Director at present, already said he delegated all the stuff. It was not that long ago we had the Reggie Bush incident.
