40 years in prison and $1 million in fines = Court cost and community service for the wealthy celebrities.
She'll buy her way out or it and then write a book and go on tour to recoup the money she lost.
Just like the douchebag that faked his racist attack.
There's a private club in the United States and we're not invited.

What I can't get over is that she did all this just to get her daughter into USC of all places. Yes, it is a good school but it is nothing special. Who couldn't she just go to Arizona or ASU? I thought that is what all the pretty but not so smart California girls did.

this was a little more than donating money to get your kid in a school. They were paying folks to cheat on exams, pretending their kids had athletic scholarships and lying to the IRS that the money was a charitable contribution.
So no, this isn't the normal donate a new wing and get your kid into the school. They committed fraud along with the usual take my cash now.

USC is a lot better school than people on here are giving it credit for. I think people from the South have just no clue what the academic landscape looks like out West.
The competition to get into USC is pretty intense.
Wall St. Journal ranks it #17, ahead of Vanderbilt and Johns Hopkins
US News ranks it #22 in the country, ahead of UVA and Carnegie Mellon, and just 1 spot behind Cal-Berkeley
Niche ranks it #20, ahead of Cornell and Georgetown
Especially when it comes to the entertainment industry.

That seems excessive for something that I had assumed was commonplace amongst the wealthy.
I guess you don't understand the difference between mail fraud, fake test scores, etc versus the commonplace, traditional method of donating, dedicating a building, etc. That's the issue here. This is not the traditional my son should go to Yale so I will donate to Yale to make it the "XYZ Musical Building" and suddenly my son gets accepted to Yale; a very big distinction.

USC is actually tied with Georgetown and Berkeley.
13% of applicants are accepted.
Daughters were probably not smart enough to get in on their own merits, especially to the Film school which is one of the best in the world.

These "rankings" are ridiculous and don't mean anything. The bottom line is that USC is a very good, but not elite school on the level with Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc. It boggles the mind that someone would do all this just to gain their kid admission to USC. The kid could have gone a lot of places and got a good education.

Laughlin is an idiot. She was signing autographs outside the courthouse. They are going to slap tax evasion charges on her as well.

Sure it's not a top 5 school. But it is a top 20 school on par with Virginia, Georgetown, Cornell, and Vanderbilt.
Its a DAMN good school.

More like a “claiming a bribe as a charitable donation” thing.
Each return that appears on is one count of tax evasion / tax fraud and an additional count of mail fraud at a minimum, not even going into penalties, interest, and back taxes to be paid on those years.

But he donated a building on campus to the Film school.

Back in the day (and still now) you could get your kid into school by donating to the school directly.
The class slots are the school’s property. If the school wants, it is entitled to sell a slot to you for your dumb kid to attend at a hefty price. It’s essentially theft of property if money is changing hands to get a kid into the school under false pretenses and the school doesn’t see its cut.
If they wanted to bribe their kids into these schools, they should have donated to the schools directly. But they were cheap and didn’t want to pony up the cash it costs to get auto-admitted. And now they are suffering the consequences.

Ok well that makes sense.

And started a foundation at the school. I guess he wanted to make sure they improved.
Cal State Long Beach, though, has "Schindler's List" in its film library as a student film.
