William"Rick" Singer leaves federal court in Boston in March. By Moriah Balingit Moriah Balingit Reporter covering national education issues Email Bio Follow May 3 at 4:55 PM The mother of a Chinese student said she was unwittingly ensnared in a sprawling college admissions scandal, believing the $6.5 million she paid to get her daughter into Stanford University was a legitimate donation that would go to scholarships for needy children.
The development adds more intrigue to the admissions scandal, which has led to the arrests of dozens of wealthy parents, including celebrities, high-profile lawyers and investors, and the heiress to the Hot Pocket fortune. The FBI arrested 50 people in March in connection with Operation Varsity Blues, an investigation that uncovered a widespread college bribery scheme.
It’s not clear how the money was used, but Singer later donated a half-million dollars to Stanford’s sailing program. The coach, John Vandemoer, was charged with accepting bribes to designate children of wealthy parents as athletes to boost their chances of acceptance, even if they were not competitive sailors.Singer has pleaded guilty to numerous charges in connection with the scheme.
