Yes, they didn't go. He was sent but lied to his parents and used the money to start his business.

I think it's the fact that he only pretended to go to USC that made it impossible for them to go as legacy students in the first place, though. Still this is weird as hell.

This is as good as it’ll get. Yes, he was a financially successful designer, but his stuff was merely okay. He had no great flair for clothing to pass on to his kids

Omg, this is hilarious. So the cheats got ratted out because of a type of insider trading scheme gone wrong ? This is the Fyre Festival of scandals.

It’s partly just immoral but since these people also claimed these expenses as charitable contributions on their income tax, it’s also tax fraud which is most definitely a crime.

Not necessarily, it's Lent since last week (the run up to 'celebrating' Christ's crucifixion) so those posts probably  have nothing to do with any of this college scam business.

These idiots also believe motherhood excuses everything. You can rob a bank and buy yourself a Rolls but if you used some of the proceeds on your kid's day camp tuition all is forgiven. They are never going to understand that if she and her husband were actually good parents their kids wouldn't have needed any of this…

I highly doubt that digital detoxes are necessary for most people. If you delete most of your apps and wear a watch instead of checking the time on your phone 50 times a day you’ll definitely decrease your phone use to a reasonable level. Often it’s the habit of turning it on ‘just for a sec’ and then touring social…

Let’s get real here. This little miss has probably done thousands of things her parents wouldn’t approve of. These kids only go along with their parents on stuff they don’t care one way or the other about. If she was always putty in their hands, she would have been able to get into college on her own strength 'cause…

That’s what responsible parents used to do. If you weren’t going straight to college they’d demand you go out and get a real job without pulling any strings for you. I can’t tell you how many kids got interested in college or learning a trade after a year working in shops or restaurants even when parents didn’t cut up…

The intellectual value rule got me every time. I knew from a young age to just turn to PBS and not even try to get anything with a laugh track.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just started commenting in February after about three or four weeks off doing real life stuff and I was grey even though kinja recognized my phone.

I’m here in the US. None of these people in that family were ever big. Even the father, Mossimo, he’s apparently made a lot of money but the only thing I knew until 48hours ago was that for years there was a brand by that name in a big chain of department stores. So I assumed he was as ‘real’ as Betty Crocker and…

Eh, I think I sorta knew who LL was ten or fifteen years ago but now? If her name wasn’t ‘Lori Loughlin of Full House’ in all these articles, I wouldn’t have a clue who she was and,if asked, I would have told you Mossimo was dead because I thought that’s why I stopped seeing his stuff at Target after years of it being…

I have no idea why people make the effort to get to a point where they can forgive this sort of behavior. If ever there was a situation where you can say ‘you had one job!’ and cut them out of your life it would be this one. 

No. Any man who is known to have had his way into college paid never gets to live it down. Dubya is denounced as an idiot to this day. It’s a running gag that Trump couldn’t get into Penn to the point where his transcripts got brought up last week. The story that Ted Kennedy got an Hispanic student to take his…

I certainly hope so since they wouldn't have gotten in without the cheating and bribing. Whether or not they knew what their parents did, they sure as hell knew they weren't college material so something fishy was going on. What kid that age involves their parents this much in the college application process that they…

By paying smart people to write her term papers and sit for her exams. I suppose as long as they make sure their spawn only took classes with a massive amount of students in them they figured no one would notice.

True. How the heck were these parents so involved in their children’s college prep and application process that they could set up cheating? Mine saw me study for tests and we sifted through the documentation the schools sent but it was my responsibility to get admitted and they didn’t interfere. This is helicopter…

Of course he knew. Scamming to get your nitwit into college isn’t something you hide from someone you’ve been married to for eleventy billion years.
