William"Rick" Singer founder of the Edge College & Career Network, departs federal court in Boston, after he pleaded guilty to charges in a nationwide college admissions bribery scandal.of the nationwide college admissions cheating scandal -- known by its investigative moniker "Varsity Blues" -- deserves no more than six months in prison, Rick Singer's attorneys said Wednesday in a new court filing.
Singer's attorneys said three years probation, including 12 months of home detention, would be a sufficient sentence, but added "if incarceration is deemed necessary, a six-month sentence, followed by a three-year term of supervised release that includes community service, will satisfy the purposes of sentencing."
Prosecutors said that in addition to prison time, Singer should pay restitution to the IRS in the amount of $10,668,841 and forfeit more than $3 million in cash and certain assets worth more than $5 million. While the government's sentencing submission acknowledged Singer's cooperation that helped lead to the convictions of more than 50 defendants, they also suggested it does not fully mitigate the severity of his crimes.
