Admissions scandal: After Rick Singer notes surface, ex-Pimco chief to appeal sentence

Already ordered to spend nine months in prison for bribing his children’s way into USC and Georgetown, Douglas Hodge, the former chief executive of Pimco, plans to appeal his sentence in light of newly disclosed notes taken by the scam’s ringleader, William “Rick” Singer.

Hodge was sentenced Feb. 7. Nineteen days later, prosecutors disclosed Singer’s notes to attorneys for other parents charged in the case.Eric S. Rosen, an assistant U.S. attorney, told the lawyers in a letter that a prosecutor first glimpsed one of the notes in October 2018. Because Singer had written the notes to his own lawyer, Rosen and his colleagues believed the writings were protected by attorney-client privilege, Rosen wrote.

Hodge “takes full responsibility for his conduct,” O’Connor wrote. “But there is an important distinction when evaluating Mr. Hodge’s culpability between payments intended to benefit a university and payments intended to benefit a specific coach in his or her personal capacity.”Despite his planned appeal, Hodge will report to prison by March 20 as ordered, O’Connor wrote. He has paid the $750,000 fine Gorton had imposed, O’Connor added.
