Felicity Huffman was among dozens of people charged for allegedly paying up to $6 million to get their kids into elite schools.
The alleged scheme, which the FBI called a “nationwide conspiracy,” allowed parents to pay for their children to cheat on exams and apply to elite schools as student athletes, without regard to their actual skills. Top college coaches at the schools are also among those charged, but authorities said they are not investigating the schools themselves.
More than 200 law enforcement officials were involved in “Operation Varsity Blues,” arresting over 50 people in six states on both coasts, authorities said at the press conference. Most defendants had been taken into custody as of noon Tuesday Eastern time.
Yeah, cos student athletes get scholarships and get treated like aristocrats in colleges
