KNX1070 Hey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jannnnnnnnnnnnnet !
Seems like the more education people have, the more corrupt and greedy they become. Becasue they have no criminal records (yet), they feel they are able to get away with crimes like this.
And the consequences will b Nada
I am sure the left will say Trump is involved.
Nothing new here. Been happening since time begin.
'This is bigger than Nino Brown'
Do you get the feeling lately that everybody and everything just sucks?
At least they were trying to get them into college instead of having them become “models” or “bloggers”
billkole anyone looking at possibility of future tax evasion charges rising out of this mess? Grand Jury still in session? Reference to BC/BU/NU in charging docs; any idea what that's about?
Wonder why America is fucked. We are the crisis! Wake up. Quit making everything a political issue. We need to look at ourselves instead of blaming others.
The parents in this scheme weren't confident that their children were not smart enough to get into these elite schools so they paid bribes? Gives a whole new perspective on President Trump's college admission exams! Explains a lot, doesn't it?😖😖😖
He ratted out the operation after he was busted
For William H Macy & his wife it's like a real life episode of Shameless! How shameful!
If only Mueller was faster 🙁
Another slap on the wrist for this crime?
No wonder regular folk can’t get ahead. Rich people are always lying, cheating and fraudulently buying into life advantages. Lock all the cheaters up!
Rich folks being held accountable!?! OMG, GUYZ - it's happening! THE REVOLUTION IS HERE!
SAD! COLLEGE IS A RIP OFF! ONE OF MANY PROOFS HERE! SOME UNIVERSITIES GOT KICK BACKS FROM IT TOO. REALLY SAD!
