Feds bust a scam that involved two well known entertainers. Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman are facing a federal sandwich. |
This is one of the problems facing The Stanford Achievement Test. This is a test that measures academic knowledge of elementary and secondary school students in the United States. The tests are controversial for being a divider between education of rich and poorly educated children.
Where as this young Black girl who was called a fucking cheater because her SAT score was too high, these white and Asian parents were paying hefty sums to get their children into the prestigious schools through the SATs.
Kamillah Campbell, 18 years old was accused of cheating on her SATs. She had her score held for a review following a massive increase from a test earlier this year --- an uncommon practice that only happens in a "tiny fraction" of cases.
Campbell took her test in October 2018. She was hoping to get into Florida State University and has her scholarship endanger of being invalid because of accusations of her getting flagged for review.
The teenager who got a letter from the Educational Testing Services said that they will hold the score until further investigation.
The ETS said that her score was considered an issue. She scored 1,230, which was a score that was more than 300 points higher than the first SAT in March. The score range from 400 to 1,600.
L. Benjamin Crump, the famed civil rights attorney has charged the ETS of deliberate violations of the young woman's rights.
This could have lead to this controversy. Cause this is coming from Florida. The teen is from Florida.
Now this controversy led to what we're hearing today. Two actresses who have famous roles on ABC sitcoms and dramas being charged with indictments that could carry up to 20 years in federal time out.
Former Full House star and former Desperate Housewives star are served a federal sandwich.
The U.S. Justice Department announced today that actress Lori Loughlin an actress Felicity Huffman are being charged along with 50 other individuals with criminal conspiracy.
Loughlin and her husband allegedly agreed to pay bribes of $500,00 in exchange for having their two daughters to be designated at recruits to the University of Southern California crew.
Best known as Aunt Becky on Full House, Lori Loughlin was known for her beauty and talent. |
Shocking. This also throws Felicity Huffman in the mix. The actress was also charged with criminal conspiracy as well. She is accused of paying a $15,000 "charitable contribution" to participate in the college entrance exam scheme on behalf of her eldest daughter.
She knowingly had an individual who was known to assist students or change their answers proctor her eldest daughter's SAT exam according to the indictment.
Huffman's husband, William H. Macy is not charged with federal criminal charges.
The two were part of a scheme that was uncovered by the FBI and federal prosecutors in Boston.
Those involved are caught paying bribes up to $6 million to get their children into elite schools.
In some cases, the children were completely unaware that their parents had paid these bribes.
Most of those charged either paid to get higher SAT scores or faked an athletic resume that, with participation of a bribed college coach, helped get the child into the college as a recruit.
The criminal mastermind is being identified. The individual is known as William Rick Singer.
The crime lord was the founder of Key Worldwide Foundation. The documents claim that since 2011, Singer has received $25 million from parents which was then used to payoff or bribe individuals who could "designate their children as recruited athletes, or other favored admissions categories."

The audio has Huffman make arrangements to pursue the scheme a second time, for her younger daughter, Georgia before backing out of the transaction.
Her test was then administered by a proctor who had flown in from Tampa and told investigators that he "facilitated cheating, either by correcting the student's answers after the test or by actively assisting the student during the SAT exam."
Loughlin and Giannulli "agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team - despite the fact that they didn't participate in the crew - thereby facilitating their admission to USC," according to the feds.

The feds described the individuals involved as "bribing college entrance exam administrators to allow a third party to facilitate cheating on college entrance exams, in some case by posing as actual students."
The feds also noted that "bribing athletic coaches and administrators to designate applicants as purported athletics recruits -- regardless of their athletic abilities, and in some cases, even though they did not play the sport."
It also said that individuals were, "having a third party take classes in place of the actual students, with the understanding that the grades earned in those classes would be submitted as a part of the students' application."
Lastly, the last thing was that individuals "were submitting falsified applications for admissions to universities...that, among other things, included the fraudulently obtained exam scores and class grades, and often listed fake awards and athletic activities."
Parties were accused of then "disguising the nature and source of the bribe payments by funneling the money through the accounts of a purported charity."

Singer would then take the money donated or given by parents and use it to pay Igor Dvorsiky and Lisa "Niki" Williams to administer the standardized tests to the children of those charges.
That Key method largely involved donating money which was then used to bribe or payoff individuals per the federal court documents on Tuesday.

These individuals could face hefty time in federal time out with fines totaling up to $1 million. These charges are white collar criminal acts. These crimes deprive others who earned the opportunity to go to Yale, Stanford, Duke, Harvard, University of Alabama, Ohio State University, University of Michigan, Brown University, Florida State University, University of Texas and the University of Southern California.
These individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
S.B and I will do our best to keep you informed.
Kamillah Campbell was denied an opportunity because of wealthy elites who probably used her answers to help their own children. |
Also an Georgia teen who was given probation for a fatal hit and run incident where three people (which included a 3 month old child) being killed.
The stories are Black and White.
