#AdmissionsScandal #CollegeAdmissions #NightlyNews
Turns out, parents for their admission to prison and got admitted.
No students were criminally charged. Some had their top university acceptances rescinded and have attended community colleges. The parents are all rich with very good connections and there is no chance of their kids working forever in Starbucks, Walmart or in an Amazon warehouse. The kids may have suffered some short embarrassment but they’ll look back laughingly on the university bribery scandal as a bump in the road towards a very prosperous life.
So when is Singerberg going to prison? Does he get off just for snitching?
Show Us How the Rich and STUPID run the World….
THAT IS WHY A LOT OF COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE MISSING PEOPLE BEWARE!
LOL… Here is the thing: If you see a roach in your kitchen counter, there are dozens hidden behind it.
The idea of school is for it to be an institution of learning, but instead, it's just an acreditating business. People don't go to learn, but to get a degree. That failed business model promotes corruption. Even the most ethical teachers and staff are sometimes faced with the rotten veins crawling up to them and spoiling the ideal.
This case, as well as the other two mentioned, are likely the move of an adversary who managed to find out of their doings. Otherwise, they would just carry on as many others have.
Who really here too blame… The parents who pay or the schools who accept the bribe
Marxists don't mind bribery as long as they do it. Then they will occasionally eat their own elitists to keep away torches and pitch forks.
#wow
illegal infected enemy federal fugitives get FREE college paid by taxpayers. You punish paying customers. Not one judge in Maryland can't be bribed.
Give them LIFE.
NBC known for years as NOTHING BUT CRAP!!!
Money will get them out
Pity the poor person who's only hope of getting an education at a prestigious school is a sports scholarship. Talk about crushing somebody's hopes and dreams.
I'm no longer waiting for the stimulus check because i earn $22,090 every 14-16 days recently
Were Stanford and Harvard indicted for soliciting money for admission ?
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
20 years. Right. More like 20 hours of community service in a posh area.🙄
Thanks for letting us know the college system is apart of the american Social and capitalist pyramid scheme
The Vietnames government has violated human rights because my wife has Vietnames but I haven't been able to meet my wife for almost a year now. There is no country in the world that has an uneducated stupid government like Vietnam.
give them what they deserve. 20 years no more no less. Period.
20 YEARS????. IM SURE THEY WILL NOT EVEN GET 20 MONTHS……THEY MAY SERVE 2 MONTHS MAX
All that money just to learn why poor people take deals instead of facing 20 years lol they are going to leave the country
S holes, all of them.
Good thing nothing else important in the world is going on, like our economy slowly falling into a recession.
His right there not above the law but the presidents and his thugs are tho ….sounds like a double standard to me….
Make guilty parties reimburse all fees pertaining to courts, Attorney fees, police investigators hourly fees, security, DA, etc… before going to prison.
Remember when vaccine mandates were conspiracy theories??
"How do you think white people always get ahead? Because we cheat all the time… I mean, because they cheat all the time." – Eric Cartman (Historical figure)
These “Ivy League†Colleges should lose some of their prestige and reputation for accepting the bribes.
No wonder some of the rich, seem ignorant.
Probably in the 1000's of parents could be convicted.
What about the schools that took the money?
Glad my kids did it on their own!
