The college admissions bribery case has left people fuming. But prosecutors cannot bring a case on outrage alone. So who, exactly, was defrauded — and of what property — when parents allegedly paid Rick Singer to finagle their children into universities?
The remaining defendants in the case — a group of a dozen coaches and others accused of playing a role in Singer’s operation — have been indicted on a charge of racketeering conspiracy, a more serious allegation than fraud that can carry a heftier punishment.
Still, he said, that idea is “not inherently obvious” and could be lost on a jury should any of the parents or coaches facing the fraud charge choose to take their case to trial.
