Prosecutors said William 'Rick' Singer, operating through his California-based college admissions counseling service The Key and a related charity, took in more than $25 million from his clients.
BOSTON – Federal prosecutors on Wednesday, December 28, asked a judge to sentence the mastermind of the largest US college admissions fraud scheme ever uncovered to six years in prison after he helped them secure the convictions of dozens of wealthy parents including Hollywood celebrities.
Singer admitted to facilitating cheating on college entrance exams and funneling money from wealthy parents he counted as clients to corrupt coaches and athletics officials to secure the admission of their children as fake athletic recruits. But prosecutors told US District Judge Rya Zobel, in Boston, that while Singer’s “unprecedented” cooperation deserved credit, his crimes warranted the longest sentence of any “Varsity Blues” defendant.
