As if life couldn’t get any worse for Lori Loughlin’s daughters, they’ve just been dealt a harsh new blow in the college scam fallout.
The past week has been a horrific one for some of America’s most elite corporate executives, lawyers and Hollywood celebrities, after they were indicted in a massive FBI crackdown on college entrance scams.actress Lori Loughlin has fallen from the endearing “Aunt Becky” to ill-repute and a potential prison cell.
“USC has placed holds on the accounts of students who may be associated with the alleged admissions scheme; this prevents the students from registering for classes or acquiring transcripts while their cases are under review,” the school posted yesterday.
But there’s another big question worth pondering: why exactly has it had such a massive impact on the public?A bunch of super rich people across the United States were caught out in a massive cheating scam to get their kids into elite private colleges. Singer was charged with running and racketeering the scheme through his Edge College & Career Network, which was his active college counselling business. A total of 33 parents and 13 coaches and associates were also charged.Getting into a prestigious college in America takes a lot more than just decent grades.
According to prosecutors, his schemes included getting fake “proctors” to take the university admission tests on behalf of his clients; staging fake photoshoots of them taking part in extra-curricular activities; editing clients’ faces onto stock photos of athletes to snag them coveted sports scholarships; bribing coaches with the power to fast-track clients; and boasting a slew of made-up achievements.
Based solely off the information in the court documents, you could argue that Isabella and Olivia have had their lives ruined by their parents’ dodgy actions, as there appears to be no proof they knew exactly what misdeeds were being committed on their behalf.
“I have been really successful this summer playing tennis around the country,” Isabelle allegedly wrote in a letter to Ernst. “I am looking forward to having a chance to be part of the Georgetown tennis team and make a positive contribution to your team’s success.” “At her best, she appears to have ranked 207th in Northern California in the under-12 girls division, with an overall win/loss record of 2-8.”Source:Supplied
One source told the gossip website the girls worried they’ll be “viciously bullied” if they returned to school. “Stuff like this makes me sick to my stomach because there’s someone out there who didn’t get in because of her,” another user wrote.
