Ringleader behind $25 million college admission scam that implicated dozens of people, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, said he has worked with more than 750 families.
"I am absolutely responsible for it," he told U.S. District Judge Rya W. Zobel."I put everything in place. I put all the people in place and made the payments directly."
Loughlin and Huffman were among 50 people charged in the alleged scam Tuesday. Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to pay $500,000 to help their two daughters' chances of gaining admission to the University of Southern California, court papers say. Huffman and her husband, actor William H. Macy, paid $15,000 to get their daughter unlimited time for her SAT test, prosecutors say.Huffman also allegedly discussed the idea of having a ringer take the test for their other daughter but ultimately decided against it after she expressed concern about having to explain the difference in scores to her daughter’s tutor, according to the complaint.
