Singer, who has cooperated with federal prosecutors since September 2018, told the court in his own words that he takes responsibility for his actions and feels shame for them.
“By ignoring what was morally, ethically, and legally right in favor of winning what I perceived was the college admissions ‘game,’ I have lost everything,” Singer wrote. Given the “problematic” cooperation, prosecutors say the “most culpable participant” in the scheme should serve six years in prison as a deterrent to future temptation for Singer.
His attorneys asked the court for a comparatively lenient three-year term of probation including 12 months of home detention plus 750 hours of community service. “Singer took in more than $25 million from his clients and paid bribes totaling more than $7 million. He transferred, spent, or otherwise used more than $15 million of his clients’ money for his own benefit. Staggering in scope, Singer’s scheme was also breathtaking in its audacity and the levels of deception it involved. His corruption and manipulation of others were practically limitless,” the prosecution’s sentencing memo says.
