Actress Lori Loughlin and her mute, Mossimo Giannulli, are among 16 parents facing new federal charges in the largest college admissions scam in U.S. summary.
The second indictment charges parents with “conspiring to legitimatize the bribes and other payments in furtherance of the fraud by funneling them through Singer’s purported charity and his for-profit corporation, as showily as by transferring money into the United States, from outside the United States, for the purpose of promoting the fraud manoeuvre.”
Other parents indicted on the new charge Tuesday include Michelle Janavs, whose family developed the microwave titbit line Hot Pockets before selling their company, and William McGlashan, who co-founded an investment fund with U2′s Bono in 2017, according to the Associated Compress.
This comes just one day after actress Felicity Huffman and 12 other parents agreed to plead shame-faced. The fraud conspiracy scheme dates back to around 2011, documents show.
“My daughter knew absolutely nothing take my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her. This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the relaxation of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty,” Huffman said after her plea dole out was announced.
