GobbleDog 811 Posted March 14, 2019 $1 million dollar bond.?. Is she a danger to society or a flight risk? I'll never understand how judges decide bond.... accused murderers very often get less bond. Michael Jackson's doctor got no bond because "you're a danger to society." Seriously? Ridiculous. This whole thing is stupid. How mad can you be at someone for trying to help their kid? If she broke the law by paying a bribe, the penalty should be a small fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When kids of wealthy parents do something wrong, their acts can be overlooked or swept under the rug. A guy who was a top administrator at the University I used to work at wrote a book about it.

wiffleball 4,618 Posted March 14, 2019 Lori Laughlins daughter Olivia Jade Giannulli was spending spring break on a University of Southern California official's yacht when her mother was accused Tuesday of involvement in a college admissions scheme, reports said. Giannulli, 19, was on Rick Caruso's luxury yacht Invictus in the Bahamas, a report said. Caruso is chairman of USC's Board of Trustees. ------------- Damn.

I agree that the bond is way out of line. $1,000,000 for that sh!t? No. It is fraud though and against the taxpayers since these were masked as charitable donations. Make them pay fines 3 times their bribes, and a year behind bars at most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted March 14, 2019 In a vacuum, the rich working it to get their kids into schools doesn’t get me too worked up. I always assumed it happened, albeit via donations to the school. But if we look at it from the concept of every athletic scholarship faked meaning another kid didn’t get to go to a given school....or every SAT score cheated knocked another kid that deserved to get into the school out of it...then the story deserves some ire. There were victims, although we will likely never be able to put a face to said victims, which dampens the impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 15, 2019 This just continues my theme. People continue to lose trust in ALL of our institutions. They don't trust government, corporations, the media, medicine, etc.etc. And what this story really does is help undermine trust (and rightfully so) in education. The composite of all of this is public no longer trusts any of it. This theme is what helped get Trump elected. This theme will lead to civil unrest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't graduate Harvard of course because he was a fockup, but he got in and went for a while. His dad was a wealthy financial guy, and eventually sent his kid off on a long ship excursion that he helped finance -- Admiral Byrd's expedition to the South Pole. He was supposed to just stay out of the way but a lot of the crew got sick and was let off of the ship in South America. He ended up helping take care of the sled dogs. My inlaws have a lot of photos and other memorabilia from that trip. Cool stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
