Rick Singer, Ringleader of College Admissions Cheating Scheme, Sentenced to 3½ Years in Prison

Prosecutors say Mr. Singer ran the test-cheating scheme on about 30 separate occasions. He encouraged families to have their children tested for learning differences, securing extra time to take college-entrance exams. Enough extra time and they could sit for the tests at locations where Mr. Singer had a proctor either feed answers to the teens or correct their test responses afterward.

“Because the coaches all have spots” to give to student-athletes angling to join their teams, Mr. Singer said during his plea hearing in March 2019, “I was essentially buying or bribing the coaches for a spot. And that occurred very frequently.” Initially, Mr. Singer tipped off several clients about the investigation, a move that earned him an obstruction of justice charge.to finalize deals with current clients and to tell former clients he was being audited to get them to rehash details of their involvement in the scheme.

Mr. Vavic had been convicted in April on all counts, including conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy to commit bribery. This fall he appealed the judge’s denial of an acquittal. No new trial date has been set.

Slap on the wrist - the crook will serve a year or two - then sign a mega book/media deal and reality series for millions

How does the guy who came UP with this outrageous scheme only get 3.5 years when one of his clients got 2.5 ? He ratted out the people he brought in & got a lighter sentence. Watch him buy his way out before his sentence is up. This SOB is grinning inside.

He’ll be out in a year.
