4…………>US College Exams Cheaters: Famous Americans

 

Test administrators took bribes to allow clients to cheat, including correcting wrong test answers, and in some cases, the faces of children were “Photoshopped” onto images of athletes to exaggerate athletic credentials, with prosecutors now naming 33 parents and 13 coaches so far, but more could be charged.

The largest college admissions fraud scam unearthed in US history was run out of a small college preparation company in Newport Beach, California, that relied on bribes, phony test takers and even doctored photos depicting non-athletic applicants as elite competitors to land college slots for the offspring of rich parents, prosecutors said.

Federal authorities have arrested dozens of people over a $US25 million scheme to help wealthy Americans, including Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman and Full House actress Lori Loughlin, cheat their children’s way into elite universities, such as Yale and Stanford.
