#1 and it's not really to skill up with study, just to get networking (which implies a large degree of nepotistic rent-seeking)!

American universities have an enormous problem caused by their taxpayer subsidy.

#2 And, then as if these elitists didn’t disdain us enough, they claimed the costs as charitable contributions on their tax returns.

I'm wondering if that's what started the Fed / AG investigation. If the ratio of charitable contributions to your taxable income on the Federal tax return (1040) exceeds 4.2%, the IRS can and will audit your tax return. If that turns out to be the case then, yeah, they got too greedy all right.

#3 How far back will the investigation be permitted to go ?

#4 well at least one of the perps won't have to move far after conviction:

"Mikaela Sanford, 32, of Folsom, Calif"

#5 I think I'm on the right track:

“In or about November 2017, the Hillsborough Parents filed personal tax returns that falsely reported total gifts to charity in 2016 of $1,061,890 — a sum that included the purported contribution” to Singer’s fake foundation.

'I was on the pocket polo team and have a degree is post-modern anti-colonial gender fluid basket weaving...at Hahvard.'

'Well that settles it...congratulations new supervisor of human resources.'

'Did you just assume my species? Better watch your ass.'

#7 I wish these investigative resources would be applied to things that mattered. Have the local police do this instead. This is easy stuff and only for political face saving.

#8 We can discuss mission and resources, but I don't think Local Detective shuts down University of Your State on suspicion Celebrity's Child is not as bright as test indicates.

And if raj is on it, this looks to be initially a federal tax evasion. I also wonder about interstate commerce; say paying for test cheating in CA for services (schooling) in MA.

#9 The Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.

#10 swksvolFF - there's no doubt in my mind this is tax evasion. Just like what happened to Wesley Snipes, give them 1 year in jail for every tax return they cooked.

Speaking of Wesley Snipes & tax problems, looks like he's in deep shit again with the IRS.

#11 Someone should play "New order confusion" over the IRS tannoy and send the daywalker in.

Solve the vampire problem...

#12 I don't want any of the Hollyweird or Wall Street people caught up in this to ever lecture me again about my taxes being too low, or my concern for the poor being so inadequate that only gummint enforced redistribution can solve the problem.

#13 All the discussion so far is about the bribe providers. What about the bribe recipients? The schools that were involved need to be sanctioned. The admissions officers involved need a "career death penalty" for their involvement in this.
