US college admissions scandal: The family of a Chinese student admitted to Stanford University paid $6.5 million to Rick Singer, the alleged mastermind of the scheme

Here's what universities are saying about the college admissions scandalIt has not been determined whether the student's parents were seeking an advantage to get their daughter into Stanford with the payment to Rick Singer, the source said. There's still the possibility they may have done nothing wrong but that will be determined by investigators, the source added.Morgan Stanley adviser Michael Wu referred the parents to Singer, the source said.

Fifty people -- including Hollywood stars, top CEOs, college coaches and standardized test administrators -- allegedly took part in the scheme to cheat on tests and admit students to leading institutions as athletes, regardless of their abilities. At least eight universities are referred to in a federal indictment and criminal complaint.Singer was paid about $25 million by parents as part of the scheme, said Andrew Lelling, the US attorney for Massachusetts.

The academic world could be a place with high concentration of the most devious, corrupt, and evil people on this planet. And you want to send your kids there College education and the meaningless 'diploma' are the ILLUSION they are SELLING you. Yes, it's a SCAM!

Then he should've been charged with the rest of them, but bcuz he has friends in high places, like Trump & he's a billionaire, they won't fuck with him, he's priviledged!!!

So sick of these super rich, entitled bastads. No matter the color, they stink equally.

So much for the meaning of Honor, for the Chinese.

WI_politics_now cheating

You know the reason most people go to college is so one day maybe just maybe they can have 6.5 million dollars in their bank account.

This is the ugly and shameless Chinese.

💰👉Move to the head of the line!

China 🤦🏻‍♂️ mokalus timmychui Rainbow6Game

Stanford is an agent of China. I demand a full investigation into this matter.

I think MERIT was a thing of the past!!!

terrible, but let's be straight. to a billionaire, 6.5 Mil is like couple thousands to an average person.

So we know rich parents are paying to get their kids into elite colleges. How about the people who are accepting the $$. Let’s talk about them! AuntBeckyGate

Are their parents do not looking for information first? Or they are only wanted their children going to Stanford without any test

He wouldn’t have to pay if colleges affirmative action didn’t work against Asian students.

The parents bought their kid a seat on the board of admissions.

Cable packages include CNN (you pay even when not watching). It's the only reason they still exist.

Now we have Cheyna collusion

That's an expensive trash bill
