The Georgetown caseA charging document alleges that an applicant to Georgetown in 2015 indicated that she was ranked in the top 50 in the United States Tennis Association’s Junior Girls rankings for her sophomore through senior years of high school, and made the USTA All-Academic team in her last two years. The document says USTA records show she played no tournaments in high school.
According to charging documents, the applicant sent Ernst an email in August 2015, which was actually written by Singer, saying, “I have been really successful this summer playing tennis around the country. I am looking forward to having a chance to be part of the Georgetown tennis team and make a positive contribution to your team’s success.”
Ernst forwarded it to an admissions officer the next day with the note, “Potential spot,” the documents said.
Singer then rewrote the applicant’s admissions essay to add, ““[B]eing a part of Georgetown women’s tennis team has always been a dream of mine. For years, I have spent three-four hours a day grinding out on and off court workouts with the hopes of becoming successful enough to play college tennis, especially at Georgetown. What is most amazing is how quickly I connected with Coach Ernst. He spent time with me while on campus and at several tournaments I played in.”
In November 2015, the girl received a letter from Georgetown saying her admission was “likely” after an initial review “at the request of Mr. Gordie Ernst, tennis coach.”
A few months later, the family sent a check for $400,000 to Singer’s foundation. The documents said one of Singer’s co-defendants had also taken the ACT for the daughter.
In October of last year, Singer called the student’s mother, saying that his foundation was being audited and wanting to “make sure that you and I are on the same page. In case they were to call.”
He also said, “I’m not gonna tell the IRS that, you know, (his accomplice) took the test for (the student) or that … you know we paid Gordie to help her get into Georgetown, right?”

50 chargedAround 50 people — coaches, test administrators and parents — nationwide have been named in indictments so far.
Singer’s activities included paying people to take tests for students or correcting their answers afterward. Singer would advise parents to get their children diagnosed with learning disabilities so that they could have extra time to take standardized tests, including the SAT and ACT, and they could take them alone, with proctors Singer had bribed.
Singer also arranged fake athletic profiles for students in order to enhance their value to universities, in some cases taking photos of students playing sports they didn’t really play, and Photoshopping children’s faces into photos of athletes.
Parents then wrote letters falsely claiming that no goods or services were exchanged, which also allowed them to take tax write-offs for their payments, which prosecutors said ranged from $100,000 to $6.5 million, though most payments ranged from $250,000 to $400,000.
Among the indicted include three people who organized the alleged scam; two SAT/ACT exam administrators; one exam proctor; one college administrator; nine coaches, and 33 parents.
In one case, a former USC women’s soccer coach and a consultant allegedly worked together in 2017 to help a client’s child get into Yale in exchange for $1.2 million from the family. A false athletic profile created for the student said she played competitive soccer and had been on China’s junior national development team.
The profile was sent to the coach of the Yale women’s soccer team and the student was accepted. Prosecutors said the Yale coach, Rudolph Meredith, received $400,000 from the consulting company after the student was accepted, even though he knew the student did not play competitive soccer.
Meredith is also named in an indictment as having solicited a bribe directly from a parent.

‘Your donation is gonna be 50’In a statement Tuesday afternoon, prosecutors released a partial transcript of a phone call Singer had with a parent.
“OK, so … what we do is we help the wealthiest families in the U.S. get their kids into school,” Singer said. ” … My families want a guarantee. So, if you said to me, ‘here’s our grades, here’s our scores, here’s our ability, and we want to go to X school’ and you give me one or two schools, and then I’ll go after those schools and try to get a guarantee done.”
He told another parent, “The number on the testing is $75,000. OK? It’s $75,000 to get any test scores you would like to get on the SAT or ACT.” He added that the parent needed for his daughter “to be stupid” when she was tested for a learning disability.

现在美国大学以取消标准考试成绩为入学标准，采用主观认证，推荐信为主。这就是鼓励作弊， 说你行就行，不行就不行。
以后行贿会越来越严重的。

Tip That Launched College Bribery Scandal Case Came From Pharma Pump-and-Dump Investigation
Published: Mar 15, 2019 By Mark Terry

The college bribery scandal that is currently lighting up the media was brought to light by a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation into a pharmaceutical pump-and-dump case.
The scandal, dubbed Operation Varsity Blues, revolves around dozens of wealthy parents paying a college consultant to help cheat on entrance exams and falsify student athlete profiles, as well as bribing coaches at a number of prestigious universities. These include Yale University, the University of Southern California, Georgetown University and Stanford University.
But what got the entire college bribery scandal going was actually a separate case. Morrie Tobin was being investigated by the SEC for manipulating the stocks for at least two companies, Environmental Packaging Technologies Holdings and CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. Called a pump-and-dump scheme, similar to that at the center of the film The Wolf of Wall Street, Tobin and several other investors worked to artificially inflate the price of the stock so they could sell it at a profit.
Tobin, who attended Yale University and currently works and lives in Los Angeles, as part of a plea deal with the SEC, told them that the head women’s soccer coach at Yale had demanded a bribe from him for getting his daughter into the school. It was this tip that launched the investigation into what has been dubbed Operation Varsity Blues.
Tobin is not charged in the college bribery scheme. In fact, he assisted further in the investigation by wearing a wire to a meeting in a Boston hotel room with Yale women’s soccer coach Rudy Meredith, according to the Wall Street Journal. In that meeting, Meredith reportedly told Tobin he could designate Tobin’s daughter as a recruit in exchange for $450,000.
Using that information, federal investigators forced Meredith to cooperate with the investigation. Meredith apparently worked with William Rick Singer, the college consultant who is also central to the bribery scandal. In January 2018, according to the Wall Street Journal, Meredith helped another California girl get into Yale by pretending she was a soccer player. That family paid Singer $1.2 million, with Meredith’s share being $400,000. That family has not been identified.
So far, Meredith has pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud.

Tobin originally lived in Canada, attended Yale University in the 1980s, playing hockey for the school, then transferred to the University of Vermont. One of his daughters, Rachel, graduated from Yale in 2015. Two of his other daughters are currently a junior and senior at Yale.
In the securities fraud case, Tobin and three others, were charged in November 2018. According to the Wall Street Journal, “they concealed from investors beginning in 2013 Mr. Tobin’s control of two public companies, Environmental Packaging Technologies Holdings Inc. and CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. Mr. Tobin then sold his shares without registering the sales with the SEC, without disclosing his stakes in the companies and without complying with SEC limitations on stock sales by company insiders.”
Tobin’s stock was transferred to two offshore assets managers, who sold millions of dollars of the shares to investors. The complaint stated, “What appeared to be ordinary trading by unaffiliated investors was actually a massive dump of shares by a company insider and his team seeking to profit at the expense of defrauded investors.”
Tobin has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and one count of securities fraud. Sentencing is scheduled for June. Prosecutors have recommended the forfeiture of $4 million that was obtained in the scheme and 36 months of supervised release. The prosecutors indicate those penalties are at the low end of the sentencing guidelines and reflect Tobin’s “prompt acceptance of personal responsibility in this case, but the plea agreement doesn’t mention his role in exposing the college admissions fraud,” reported WSJ.
At this time, 50 people, including 33 parents and nine athletics coaches and administrators, have been charged in the college bribery scheme. Two prominent actresses, Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, have been indicted in Operation Varsity Blues. Another prominent individual indicted was Manuel Henriquez, founder and chief executive officer of Hercules Capital, a hedge fund and venture capital company in Palo Alto, Calif., who has a significant role in life sciences investment.

那个为了让女儿进斯坦福大学给了中介650万美元的中国土豪被《洛杉矶时报》和《每日邮报》挖出来了，是山东步长制药公司老总赵涛。其中50万美元用于贿赂斯坦福大学帆船队教练，将她女儿当成帆船选手。斯坦福已将他女儿开除，中介和教练被抓。https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6981923/Chinese-national-Yusi-Molly-Zhao-attended-Stanford-father-paid-6-5-MILLION.html

步长制药公司老总女儿去年曾经以“美国高考状元”的身份做直播介绍自己考上斯坦福大学的经验，“只要你有梦想朝着自己的目标去努力那就问心无愧！”不知出不起650万美元贿赂款的要怎么努力？

赵雨思是西安著名土豪和腊肉酷爱者赵步长先生的孙女。步长药业的红色文化搞得很有声色，也很有量化指标，目前已达到令30%以上内部员工浑身起鸡皮疙瘩的程度；下一步会向令人恶心颤栗的方向发展（五毛、毛粉习粉除外）。

随着美国高等教育史上最大招生丑闻事件的继续发酵，有关来自中国的富豪、步长制药创始人赵涛被指花费650万美元（约合4370万人民币）巨资，送儿女赵雨思（Yusi'Molly'Zhao）进入美国名校斯坦福大学的事件也被曝光。据悉，赵雨思现已被斯坦福校方开除。

美国司法部3月中旬在近年来前所未有地，对美国大学名校入学舞弊现象进行严厉打击。司法部现已起诉了包括演艺明星、企业高级主管等数十名涉案学生家长，指认他们向一名招生顾问行贿勾结校方，帮助子女考试作弊、冒充体育特长生进入知名高等学府。据悉，这是美国司法部们迄今为止经手的最大一笔高校招生舞弊案，涉及金额高达2500万美元，有至少50名校方、家长及中间人遭到起诉。据《洛杉矶时报》最新报道指出，随着调查的深入，此前有传言称一名中国富豪在该案中曾花费650万美元高价，将孩子成功运作至斯坦福大学的具体信息也被曝光。
而这个亿万富翁家庭被指是山东步长制药股份有限公司的创始人、董事长赵涛之家。他的女儿赵雨思于2017年被斯坦福大学录取。此前，赵雨思的家庭被指为了送女儿入学，通过摩根士丹利的资金经理帮忙联系与该案幕后操控者威廉·里克·辛格（William Rick Singer）会面，并向他支付650万美元，其中50万美元用于贿赂斯坦福大学帆船队教练，从而使得赵雨思顺利以帆船选手特招进入该校。事实上，斯坦福校报《每日斯坦福》3月30日就已经报道了一学生被开除事件，但并未指明这位学生就是赵雨思，被开除的理由则是她提交了错误的入学申请信息。对此，斯坦福大学发言人拒绝发表任何评论。
据了解，赵雨思的学生档案已经被移除，她的家庭成员还没有人遭到美国检方的指控。该消息最早于3月被爆出来时，斯坦福校长并没有提及赵家给的这笔钱。报道显示，其父的名字还曾出现在此前泄漏的巴拿马文件中。步长制药成立于2001年，并于2012年完成股份制改制。2016年7月通过证监会发审会IPO审核，于2016年11月18日上市。该公司主要从事中成药的研发、生产和销售，主要产品涉及心脑血管疾病中成药领域，也覆盖妇科用药等其他领域。而根据步长制药刚刚披露的2018年年报，去年实现营业收入136.6亿元，同比下降1.4%，但实现归属于上市公司股东的净利润为18.9亿元，同比增长15.3%。
值得一提的是，随着该事件被曝光，有关赵雨思的相关消息也被网民挖出放上网络。赵本人曾在一则长达1个半小时的网络直播视频中自述，她以美国高校入学考试ACT33分（总分36分），托福111分的成绩被斯坦福大学录取，她称自己也是一名普通女孩，有4个兄弟姐妹。喜欢弹钢琴、哼小曲；喜欢骑马、喜欢飞翔的感觉；喜欢艺术，喜欢抽象的工艺品。赵雨思在直播中被包装成“美国高考状元”，其语录: “只要你有梦想朝着自己的目标去努力那就问心无愧!”此外，随着美方相关调查的继续，不排除有新的涉案人员及家长被起诉。另有报道指出，该案还涉及其他的中国家长和学生。
