In federal court in Boston this afternoon, Rick Singer was sentenced to three and a half years behind bars and ordered to pay more than $10 million in restitution to the IRS

and other well-heeled parents who tried to bribe their kids’ way into elite colleges, the man who masterminded the whole scheme today finally faced justice.

. Having fallen far from his top tier school pathway perch to living in a Florida trailer park for seniors, 62-year old Singer was also ordered Wednesday by Judge Rya W. Zobel to hand over a significant amount of personal assets.“I lost my ethical values and have so much to regret,” the once high-flying Key Worldwide Foundation boss said in a brief statement in court today. “To be frank, I am ashamed of myself.”” by the U.S.

Hollywood being Hollywood, both Huffman and Loughlin got their careers back after their jailhouse stints and some time out of the limelight. Hit with the longest sentence of all involved in the case, Singer won’t likely bounce back so strong. Certainly part of today’s sentence had to come out of Singer slipping intel to a number of parents back in 2019 that there was an investigation underway, even as he was in theory cooperating with law enforcement. That dud move is what tacked the obstruction of justice charge onto the list for Singer.

In that context, prosecutors in U.S. Attorney Rachel S. Rollins’ office sought to have Singer sentenced to a prison stint of 6.5 to eight years behind bars. With the sentencing delayed by the pandemic and the death of one of Singer’s lawyers, the defense asked for just six months in prison for their client, plus supervised release of three years and some community service.
