The Justice Department on Tuesday announced dozens of charges related to a massive college admissions bribery scheme , involving big names from Hollywood actresses to Wall Street and Silicon Valley executives. Documents describe a scheme in which wealthy parents paid a company to help their children cheat on college entrance exams or bribe athletic recruiters. Several Division 1 athletic coaches are among the cooperating witnesses in the investigation.
These parents are a catalog of wealth and privilege, U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said during a press conference announcing the charges.
