The FBI investigation into the alleged scheme was hilariously nicknamed “Operation Varsity Blues.” In which rich parent’s nabbed for bribing dumb kids into USC and other schools.
“These parents are a catalogue of wealth and privilege,” Lelling said.
The rich and famous such as Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli, the founder of clothing brand Mossimo, “agreed to pay bribes totaling $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the USC crew team – despite the fact that they did not participate in crew,” according to prosecutors.
Well over 50 people have been indicted to date with the possibility of that number growing over time.
