We are back to talk about the College Admissions scandal.
Last episode we talked about the financial structures that may have helped Rick Singer perpetuate his nonsense .Then we talk about some of Rick's key collaborators at the different schools he was working with, as well as some of the famous parents who joined in on Rick's frauds. Like Aunt Becky and Mossimo Giannulli, Felicity Huffman and William H Macy.
This Episode we are wrapping this thing up finally getting into the DOJ investigation, Rick as a terrible informant, the eventual arrests, and a really wild series of court cases.
Hope you enjoy!
