The college admissions bribery case has left people fuming. But prosecutors cannot bring a case on outrage alone. So who, exactly, was defrauded — and of what property — when parents allegedly paid Rick Singer to finagle their children into universities?

The remaining defendants in the case — a group of a dozen coaches and others accused of playing a role in Singer’s operation — have been indicted on a charge of racketeering conspiracy, a more serious allegation than fraud that can carry a heftier punishment.

Still, he said, that idea is “not inherently obvious” and could be lost on a jury should any of the parents or coaches facing the fraud charge choose to take their case to trial.

Rich People have been doing this since the beginning and I’m sure nothing will change now

Great question. Had they gone to the School and donated no issue for the individuals. The issue shifts to the school. Those with adjusted SATs are in trouble. Those with scholarships will avoid since they used 3rd parties who committed the crimes. Low levels will fall, upper walk

'CHANCE'S' WERE STOLEN. A SHOT AT A BETTER LIFE. A BETTER JOB. CHRISTA LESS HIGHER LADDER TO CLIMB. A HEAVY BOULDER REMOVED FROM UR SHOULDERS. A HELPING HAND UP THAT LADDER. R U BLIND?

Is there a proper spelling for fenagle

The people were defrauded of the opportunity to an education.

Private institutions. It’s messed up but it doesn’t seem like there’s much for legal precedent But also, why now? It’s not like this is new

Bribery is a crime Look it up, ffs

The outrage is greater with that mad man in the White House 😡

Perfect case for a Grand Jury .
