No one is going to hire them.  Not sure if they should go to jail for 20 years though.

How about the three years? That's the number a woman got for lying about her address so her children can go to a better high school as opposed to the high school she would have been assigned due to zoning. My heart broke for that mother.  People can feel sorry for Loughlin, Huffman, etc,  all they like but their money and privilege afforded them the opportunity to cheat the system when others aren't afforded the same opportunity and were jailed for it. "Money passing"  is not just limited to getting their children into better schools.  This s.hit has been going on for years so all this outrage is a bit comical to me. I'm wondering if those celebrities who publically clutched their collective pearls at the horror of Loughlin haven't also gotten special favors by secretly shelling out thousands for some other thing that will never be exposed. I'm sure they did.  I hope they throw the book at Loughlin but I know they won't.  Her smug ass is just offensive -  at least pretend to look remorseful.

How in the sam hell did they let themselves get caught is what family and friends are thinking.  LL, FH and their ilk are not nice people and all they care about is the humiliation!  

"Parenting on steroids" - what a lovely defense. They deserve jail time just for being this arrogant and stupid!!!

LMFAO

 

I don't even know what to say anymore - they're incredibly arrogant, incredibly stupid or both.

I can't believe this girl's video is still up on YouTube!

Haaaa LOL

 

 

 

I knew someone was going to make a series about this! Surprisingly, SVU has yet to tackle the subject - it would take place at doomed "Hudson University", no doubt.

JUST IN: Actress Felicity Huffman has pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 to boost her daughter’s chances of getting into college.

The government is recommending $20,000 in fines and 4 months in prison.

And if she'd been, well, not white?  She would have received the needle, no question.

 

Oh, well.  At least it's something other than a walk (although it might as well be).

USC just published that they reached their annual donation goal of $330 million dollars.  Which puts these cases into perspective.  The Laughlin/Mossimo family only wanted to spend $500,000, which would hardly get noticed in a pile of $330 million/$6 billion total alumni fund, so bribing an official seems more economically viable. Also, search USC Woman's Rowing, it is a surprisingly large team given that USC is in East LA and there are no rivers or other bodies of water immediately nearby.  I am certainly not defending them, but it is amusing upon reflection.

Did anyone see the clips of billionaire Robert F. Smith, who pledged to pay off the student loans of Morehouse College's graduation class of 2019?

 

What a contrast!

 

Billionaire technology investor Robert F. Smith told Morehouse College's Class of 2019 that he's giving them the ultimate graduate gift: A grant that will wipe out their student loans. It will reportedly cost him an estimated $40 million https://t.co/vskMmNSR4l pic.twitter.com/KgFKc8Pxt6
