College admissions bribery cost

Their net worth is around $100 million. They used their $21 million home as collateral for bail, since it was quick and easy to draw up the paperwork, and it would be completely absurd for someone in their situation to skip town for the trial.

Even with maximum fines, lawyer fees, lost earnings, and business losses from the husband not being able to run his business from prison, they won't stand to lose much more than about $10 million.

Also, I should add that I've submitted a serial, Two Sinners, that addresses some of these issues. I'm hoping it will be posted with the next batch of stories.

We must agree it will not happen. A great suggestion however. All spankos would be watching with a big grin Regards. Donald.

That is, until some lawyer gets creative and files a class-action lawsuit against them on behalf of all students denied admission allegedly because of their fraud. Should be able to generate clientele by getting the names of everyone on the waiting list who didn't get accepted in the end. Wouldn't necessarily have to prove their individual cases, just the threat of a jury deciding to make an example out of them would be an incentive to throw out a few more million (plus attorney's fees) to make them go away.

That's already happened in a fashion. Instead of suing Ms. Loughlin and Mr. Gianulli, they've sued the university.

In turn, the university appears to be suing the pair.

And the first sentence in the case was handed down today, for a sailing coach at Sanford. 6 months on an ankle monitor (house arrest) and 2 years probation. Of those who accepted bribes, his was an unusual case. He didn't pocket any bribe money, but passed it all along to the school's sailing program.

Which reminded me about something of interest my history professor related which occurred around the turn of the first millennium over on the Balkan peninsula. History buffs may wish to read the whole account, which isn't too awfully long, but those disinclined to wade through it all may simply scroll down to "Prisoners" to get the picture.

Needless to say, a punishment spanking would pale in comparison.

I recall when Janus magazine had contributors suggesting how various celebrities should be disciplined for their perceived offenses. It made me conjure up a vision of Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin appearing on a platform in bra and panties. Then a young woman clad in an academic gown would stand up there and with some assistants aiding her in preparing the miscreants, would order the two to unhook and remove their bras and pull their panties down and off. Each would then go across her lap for a nice old-fashioned spanking. They then would be placed over two gym horses brought out for the occasion and the strict young woman would administer canings to them both. They then would be assigned to two of the highest-ranked graduating seniors to serve them for the rest of the day and evening as personal servants. The seniors would decide how they would be made to serve and the two actresses would be obliged to follow the orders of these young women students, who might choose to have them dressed or undressed in any manner the students decided.

great scenario leslie. I would prefer an older female disciplinarian administer the spanking. segees auntie andrea my nominee. the students should be present is imperative. regards

I read in the news that some of the students knew about the scheme and knowingly participated but that for some reason the government decided to not charge any of the students. If spankings were involved the parents could go to prison like they already probably will and the students could get spanked, those who knew about it anyway.
