'White privilege at its best': Lori Loughlin slammed for Mexico vacation

Now, they're stirring debate for being allowed to travel while still on probation — and raising questions about privilege.

In January, a source revealed to ET that Loughlin is eager to reprise her life and get back to work, but fears that her reputation will now limit her professional opportunities.

“[Lori] would love to start working again one day, but she is scared people won’t work with her,” the source said, adding that Loughlin has already “had her team put out feelers.”

Lmao , well sorta calling her own kettle black.
A VERY , very Strange, weird, calculated approach to this public legal punishment she went through.
Hey, go friend-y Bill Cosby maybe.
Good friggin luck.


MOO

2 months in prison for dad who paid $40K in ACT cheat scheme

The founder of a private equity firm who paid $40,000 to have someone secretly correct his daughter's ACT exam answers was sentenced to two months in prison.

Before the judge handed down his sentence, Mark Hauser cried as he asked for forgiveness and said had been driven only by a desire to help his youngest daughter, who has struggled throughout her life with serious medical issues.

Lawyers for Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, said during their sentencing hearings last year that Hauser was the one who recommended they work with Rick Singer. Hauser used to serve as chairman of the board of the Los Angeles high school attended by Loughlin and Giannulli's daughters.

Hauser's lawyer had sought probation instead of prison time.

He received:

2 months in prison

I find his claim that his daughter has "medical issues" and that is why he participated in the cheating scheme to be very interesting.

He would have done better to request disability accommodations, and highlight his daughter's disabilities, if she does have these significant medical issues, that would have interfered with her ability to score highly on tests.

But, of course, that would have also required admitting that his child is not "perfect".

Lori Loughlin's Mexico trip not what she described to court

Does the "Criminal Thinking" never stop in this family? They went to prison because of their lying. Now, shrug, back at it. They begged to go on a "family vacation". Instead, it is a golf trip to Mexico with friends.

Obviously, incarnation has done absolutely nothing for Loughlin and Gianelli. No, I don't expect them to wear sack cloth and ashes forever. But, just comply with the probation terms. Instead, again, they demonstrate that rules don't apply to them.

Ninth Georgetown parent pleads guilty in Varsity Blues admissions scandal - The Georgetown Voice

Elisabeth Kimmel joined the ranks of Georgetown parents indicted and admitting guilt in the college admissions scandal last week, heading off a September trial.

Kimmel, a former media executive, is accused of paying over half a million dollars to ensure her daughter’s acceptance to Georgetown, and her son’s acceptance to the University of Southern California. As with many other students accepted through Operation Varsity Blues, the two were slotted in as athletes, though neither intended to play competitively in school.

On Aug. 12, Kimmel pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Under her plea agreement, she will receive a sentence of six weeks in prison and two of supervised release. She will serve the first year under house arrest. Kimmel will also be required to pay a $250,000 fine and complete 500 hours of community service. The charge carried a possible maximum sentence of 20 years.

Some Varsity Blues parents seek day in court - CommonWealth Magazine

At a pre-trial hearing Wednesday, three defendants – John Wilson of Lynnfield; Marci Palatella of Hillsborough, California; and Gamal Abdelaziz of Las Vegas – signaled they want their day in court, which would force the US attorney’s office to actually convince a jury that they are guilty.

Wilson, a prominent business executive who currently heads Hyannis Port Capital, is accused of conspiring to bribe the USC water polo coach to get his son a slot on the team and admission to the school. He is also accused of paying a total of $1 million to Singer for side-door access for his daughters to gain admission to Stanford and Harvard.

On paper, the Wilson case is similar to the others where the defendants pleaded guilty. There are damaging statements captured on the wiretaps of conversations with Singer. There is the allegation that USC water polo coach Jovan Vavic lied to school officials about the Wilson son’s ability to swim, saying he “would be the fastest player on our team.”

Most of the evidence against Wilson comes via Singer, who may be forced to testify if Wilson or any of the other remaining defendants end up going to trial. Another wild card is Vavic, who has been charged by the government but has insisted he is not guilty.

Wilson, who has already sued Netflix for including him in a documentary on the Varsity Blues case, shows no signs of backing down. In the lawsuit, he provides some clues as to how he will defend himself if the criminal case against him goes to court, including the fact he took a two-day polygraph test affirming his innocence.

California Parent Agrees to Plead Guilty in College Admissions Case

A California parent has agreed to plead guilty to a tax offense in connection with his involvement in the college admissions case.

Homayoun Zadeh, 59, an associate professor of dentistry at the University of Southern California (USC), has agreed to plead guilty to a superseding information charging him with one count of filing a false tax return. A plea hearing has not yet been scheduled. Under the terms of Zadeh’s plea agreement, the parties have agreed to a sentence, subject to the Court’s approval, of six weeks in prison, one year of supervised release with 250 hours of community service and a fine of $20,000.

As set forth in the charging document, Zadeh agreed with William “Rick” Singer to pay $100,000 to facilitate the admission of Zadeh’s daughter to USC. Zadeh made installment payments toward that total to Singer’s purported charitable foundation, the Key Worldwide Foundation, and deducted the payments from his taxes as a purported gift to charity, despite knowing that they were not legitimate charitable contributions, but were made in exchange for facilitating his daughter’s admission to USC.

bbm

He is on the faculty at USC yet chose the sleaze-door for his daughter???

The 250 hours by a licensed dentist should be a great help to the community. Wonder if he has much experience with patients who have limited access to toothbrushes or running water?

College-Admissions Cheating Scandal Yields New Guilty Plea

Marci Palatella, the wife of former San Francisco 49ers football player Lou Palatella, will plead guilty to a federal felony charge of conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud as part of the sprawling federal probe known as Operation Varsity Blues, the office of the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts said Tuesday.

The plea agreement calls for six weeks in prison, a $250,000 fine, two years of supervised release and 500 hours of community service.

Where Is Rick Singer Now - The True Story of Operation Varsity Blues's College Admissions Scandal

From 2011 to 2019, Singer’s “side door” was open for highly profitable business, in which Singer himself collected 25 million dollars. (According to the documentary, the “back door” is a much larger donation than what Singer charged, made directly to the school like, for example, Jared Kushner’s parents the year before he was accepted to Harvard. This method is not only more expensive than Singer’s, but also cannot provide a guaranteed acceptance.)

But the scheme began to teeter when a financial executive named Morrie Tobin, who was being investigated in a different financial fraud case, offered investigators a tip about a Yale soccer coach accepting bribes in exchange for admission in an attempt to create goodwill with the FBI. The tip eventually led them to Rick Singer, who was caught in September of 2018.

But in order to spare himself as much as possible, Singer agreed to work with investigators to bring his entire Ponzi scheme down with him. Wearing a wire, Singer made phone calls and in-person visits to his past and present clientele to discuss a fabricated audit of his foundation so that they would implicate themselves by confirming knowledge of phony donations. He did successfully warn or alert some that he was wearing a wire, which he confessed to in court.

Ultimately, though, the government’s case was built on this series of recordings Singer made, and Singer himself pleaded guilty to all charges brought against him—racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice—as well on March 12, 2019. His cooperation and guilty plea will result in a lesser sentence for him when his sentencing date comes.

The trials and sentencing proceedings in this sprawling case are ongoing, and Singer's case status simply states that “there is no sentencing hearing scheduled at this time.” According to CNN, he faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $1.25 million fine.

College admissions scam case set for Sept. 8 trial in Boston

What’s the secret?

USC’s Pat Haden and now two “Varsity Blues” defendants want to file briefs in the college admissions scam case under seal.

What they want to share, they argue, is “sensitive, confidential, and personally identifiable information.”

Haden, the former athletic director at the University of Southern California, has filed a motion in federal court in Boston to “quash a trial subpoena for testimony issued by counsel for defendants.” He was just granted permission to state his case in private.

Defendants Gamal Abdelaziz and John Wilson are seeking that same protection to keep their arguments out of the public eye — for now.

Both are accused of paying bribes to get their kids into USC as fake athletic recruits, but they are fighting the charges. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Sept. 8 in federal court in Boston.

'Varsity Blues' dads out to unplug trial video exhibit 'spoiled-brat syndrome,' lawyer says

“Varsity Blues” parents bracing for a court battle next month want to pull the plug on all video.

The federal court in Boston has allowed complete access to the college scam case via Zoom — at times drawing a full house, especially last summer when actress Lori Loughlin was sentenced to five months in prison.

Now defendants Gamal Abdelaziz and John Wilson “respectfully request that this Court reconsider its decision to livestream the upcoming trial by Zoom,” a motion filed Monday states.
