If i say, hey LSU, heres 20 million, i want my son in school, how is that illegal? It seems the laundering, fraud, etc would bo in the actions of the person who does something wrong to make my request happen.
That's not what happened.
The schools are considered the victims here, much like the college basketball scandal. They were defrauded by Loughlin and others into giving a spot to a candidate on the premise he/she was an athlete. Loughlin got that spot by donating money to a "charity" that funneled it to the people in charge of the scheme. You're guilty of conspiracy to commit money laundering if you transfer money for the purposes of illegal activity. Claiming that transfer of money as a tax deduction brings tax evasion into play.
ETA - Tax evasion on it's own is, by definition, a form of money laundering too.

I'll do it for 10k and you should be able to write that off and get an award.

I can only assume that a judge would see that this is a bit heavy handed and not impose that kind of sentence.

She needs to try to get that Smolett deal

This is one of those things that every person knew was happening, but no one knew it was actually illegal. Why aren't private schools allowed to accept students just based on donations?

I dont get the illegality of her actions. How is it laundering, or mail fraud, etc
ok first she claimed she donated money to a real charity. she did not. she deducted this donation. that's going to be an issue with her taxes
this fund used the money to bribe officials to commit fraud
this fake charity/scheme also used its resources to, allegedly, hide the illegal nature of the money. that's laundering
she knowingly participated in that scheme, which means she's a conspirator
mail/wire fraud is a broad crime that allows prosecution if you use any sort of electronic means (or the mail) to further a fraud
in what way is this set of behavior not criminal to you?
*ETA: i'm not talking about the behavior being "criminal" in a moral way. i mean based on the laws of our country

, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this thread. That's not what was happening here at all.

Imagine getting a judge who has a child that was denied admission to the school based on accepted criteria.

Federal sentences are based largely on the sentencing guidelines. Here is some info on money laundering:

sentencing data from the U.S. Sentencing Commission shows that in 2016, 78.6% of the individuals convicted of money laundering as their “primary offense” were incarcerated.... The mean prison sentence for these individuals was 41 months.

The judge would throw one of those big old $400 textbooks that his or her kid didn’t get a chance to buy right at Aunt Becky.

So Aunt Becky chooses to plead not guilty. What’s the chances of her beating the rap? How much more evidence is needed?

If only she had that white privilege like Jussie.

In your learned opinion, what kind of time is Aunt Becky looking at if she decides to stick with the innocent plea and gets found guilty?

40 yrs for fricking overpaying to get your kids into public university? Get the frick out of here, biggest bunch of overreaching BS.
