Did you guys see that Dr. Dre may get canned in this whole thing as well?

You definitely read whatever you read wrong. He isn't in this scandal at all, he got his kid into USC the old fashion and legal way, he built an entire department.

God damnit, now Detox is never going to come out

She doesn't wanna go to USC though according to friends and her past social media posts. LOL it's just funny that all of this happened around the same time!

If he had even a tiny bit of self-awareness, and not made that post saying she got herself in, no one would have said or noticed a thing. Dude couldn't help himself.

Just shows that bragging on your kids is universal

This country stays locking people up for stupid crap. What is prison for anymore?

imagine you have hot pockets money and ruin your life doing something like this. incredible.

It's ridiculous that any of these people are going to jail.

Brock Landers · « **Reply #83 on:** February 25, 2020, 03:38:54 PM »

TIL that not only is there a Hot Pockets fortune, but there is an heiress to said fortune.

Really short sentences for the ones that pled out. Probably will be longer ones for the parents that claim they didn't realize their family rowing photoshoot was being used to commit fraud.

Yeah jail time is ridiculous for that.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #88 on:** February 25, 2020, 04:08:49 PM »

I don't even see why they should pay a fine.

catastrophe · « **Reply #89 on:** February 25, 2020, 04:49:05 PM »

It takes public resources to pursue those cases. That’s a good reason for a fine.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #90 on:** February 25, 2020, 04:51:54 PM »

Nobody made them pursue the cases. If it is ok to bribe university administrations, it should also be ok to bribe university employees, imo. The university should fire those employees, but it shouldn't be a crime.

Tax avoidance

I haven't seen that charge. You mean on the people accepting the bribes?

catastrophe · « **Reply #93 on:** February 25, 2020, 05:53:34 PM »

Yeah I just meant a reason to treat bribes to universities different than to employees.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #94 on:** February 25, 2020, 06:14:21 PM »

I can see it as defrauding the government and taxpayers given the resources invested in education. That makes the penalties seem more appropriate to me.

i love how americans love to fill their prisons with potheads and helicopter parents, meanwhile their homeless problem has skyrocketed especially for vets

I would see it that way if universities didn't accept bribes to let kids in all the time as part of their policy.

So far the UT Tennis coach, of course by far the least wealthy person involved, got the longest sentence, 6 months.

Hot Pockets lady got 5 months.
