The mother of a Chinese student who was admitted to Stanford University said the family gave $6.5 million to the man at the center of a massive college admissions scandal -- but as a donation to help others.
Fifty people have been charged in the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted in the United States. The scandal has ensnared celebrities, but none of them is accused of spending as much as the Chinese woman. In a statement provided through her attorney, the woman identified as Mrs. Zhao admits giving $6.5 million to the foundation of William"Rick" Singer, the ring leader of the scam.
In a statement, Stanford University said it did not get the millions of dollars and did not know about it before it was widely reported. "It's important to clarify that Stanford did not receive $6.5 million from Singer, or from a student's family working with Singer," it said."Stanford was not aware of this reported $6.5 million payment from the family to Singer." The student, her parents and the man who introduced them have not been charged in the scandal.
