Yale University has rescinded the admission of a student that officials at the school say was involved in a nationwide college entrance fraud that ensnared 50 people, including Hollywood actresses and CEOs, some of whom have already appeared in court.
Questions:
- To make this scam work, who was “on the take” inside Yale?
- Who was the ring leader in the scam and what was his role?
- Bribes were paid to a 503 (c) (3) tax exempt organization at the core of this scandal. As a result, the bribes were deducted by the parents who were trying to get their kids into prestigious schools. What will ultimately happen to the deductions made by the ensnared individuals?
