New phone transcripts in the college admissions case provide a detailed look at how the scheme's admitted mastermind, Newport Beach-based consultant William 'Rick' Singer, pitched his services to potential clients.
After some discussion of college entrance exams and which schools had better engineering programs, William “Rick” Singer and John B. Wilson, a Massachusetts financier, started talking prices.
Prosecutors, who are required by law to hand over exculpatory materials to defendants, have told lawyers for Wilson and other defendants they are not withholding anything helpful. Unbeknownst to Wilson, one important thing had changed since their earlier conversation: Singer had been apprehended by the FBI. He agreed to cooperate, making hundreds of recorded calls to his current and former clients.
In their motion, Wilson’s lawyers demanded records from virtually every corner of the case. They want summaries of FBI interviews with Singer, discussing whether the consultant presented his side-door option to clients as legitimate or illegal. They want information about the people who referred Singer to his clients and “the degree to which they benefit financially from their referrals.”
“Not sure about all of this,” Pat Haden, the school’s athletic director at the time, wrote in an email. “Let’s discuss tomorrow and get it right.”
