How about charging college administrators for peddling worthless degrees?
These folks may have the worst timing ever in terms of getting caught. America is still reeling from the Manafort decision. We can only hope justice will prevail. We're getting sick and tired of the privileged few being handled with kid gloves. collegeadmissionsscandal
So.... show me the money.... caught
I m so glad we have the FBI spending 8 years of manpower on this heinous crime, forget the mob and domestic terrorists and Antifa
What did they do
Wealthy people pay bribes and cheat to get into places like USC (University of Spoiled Children)? I’m shocked! Now they just pay big $ to lawyers who get them off. On we go.
Biggest reason for suffering in the world seems to be, not poverty, not disease, But dishonesty!
You don’t need to be smart to get into elite schools, just rich
Name those CEOs and sons, not just the women and daughters!
