haha, so slorch made a racist post and then deleted it?

is that what happened? 

No post was deleted by me.

No post by me was racist.

Carry on with the Fairness in life, as previously discussed.  Snowflake victory.

Truth in life, yet again avoided.  Rhetoric preserved.

I mean...it’s literally a Swahili word...so...yeah...you’re a piece of shit.

So John is an English word with Hebrew origins.  What race is it?

Get past your own racism and discuss the topic, eh?  Nope, you're gonna stay all wrapped up in your bullshit politics and proving to the world how sensitive you are.

There is little to no expectation of fairness in college admissions, at least in the context you initially used it. saying so isn't racist.  It's being open and HONEST about how it is.  Denial is a long ass river, eh?  Or maybe the Thames...it's not from Africa.

Well, we speak and post in English here...so...yeah.
You picked a Swahili name for a reason. Gosh, what could it be?
You may think the rest of us are as stupid as you are, and will fall for your disingenuous bullshit. We aren’t. We don’t.

I deleted no post.  The post that was deleted by mods(?) and was not racist. It just disturbed the sensitivities of the fairness faction on the board.  Reality bites, eh?

I never neg first. I do reply in kind.  You cryin, still?

The change of the screenname was my doing in leaving Cloakroom discussions..  I was not aware that was a crime.  I did not avoid or deny any ties to my old screenname when folks have asked.  

Carry on.

Back on topic.  Some of these cases are being handled/sentenced by Judge Indira Talwani, while others are in the court of 81 year old Nathaniel Gorton.  Talwani has doled out most of the sentences to date, but Gorton just weighed in.

Toby Macfarlane just got six months for paying Singer $450k to get two kids into USC as pseudo-athletes.  Very analogous to Aunt Becky's case, but without the extra charges.

Apparently, Gorton doubled the sentencing guidelines for Macfarlane.  

All of this has provoked a charge of judge shopping from defense lawyers.  And it appears that the US Attorneys were cagey about adding defendants to indictments already filed (and assigned to a judge).

What's really fucked up is that the sentencing guidelines are there to make federal sentences more uniform and predictable.  This just demonstrates that they are a complete and total failure at that goal, which is dubious to begin with.

More here.

As I have said many times, it will be a traveshamockery if Loughlin et uxor get more time solely because of the procedural/plea posture of their case, and the additional crimes added to their indictments as a result

Federal sentencing in general is extremely draconian.  At least from what I witnessed as a clerk.  And my judge leaned left and would often downward depart more frequently than the average judge.  The guidelines really tied her hands.

Anyone else get this in a social media feed?

Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison, unlike Tayna McDowell, who was sentenced to 5 years in prison for enrolling her son in a school district using a fraudulent address. So the meme goes. A bit of digging ads some context.

Tanya McDowell arrested in Bridgeport on drug charges

The 33-year-old woman, who is facing larceny charges for enrolling her son in Norwalk public schools while living in Bridgeport, was alone as she stood handcuffed before Judge Howard Owens to face multiple drug charges. Her entourage and her lawyer, who escorted her to court in Norwalk and Stamford, were absent.

Police said McDowell sold crack cocaine and marijuana to an undercover police officer on two occasions outside her Dover Street home. They said she even interrupted her 6-year-old son’s birthday to sell the drugs. She was arrested in court Monday morning.

That McDowell was selling drugs outside of a school is relevant, but of course outrage has no time for context.

Yes, Twitter’s hero had drugs outside of a school:

Several weeks later, she was arrested for selling drugs to Norwalk undercover officers on five occasions in Norwalk and Bridgeport.

When she was picked up on the drug charges, police found her in front of Brookside Elementary School holding 30 small bags of marijuana and 23 small bags of crack cocaine, prosecutor Tiffany Lockshier said during her sentencing hearing.

At the sentencing hearing, here is what the judge said:

[Judge] Iannotti retorted Tuesday that the Norwalk case had nothing to do with why McDowell was before him.

“This case is about the convictions for the sale of narcotics to an undercover police officer,” the judge said. “I think you understand that because that is really the essence of what has gotten you into the predicament you find yourself today.”

On the two counts of sale of narcotics, the judge then sentenced her to 12 years, suspended after she serves five years and followed by five years probation.

The sentence is to run concurrently with a five-year sentence she received in the Norwalk case.

This latest wrong-doer just screams Seinfeld episode.

”mr. Kramer, I ain’t taking on Big College or Big Alum!”

”but jackie, she’s the heiress to the Hot Pocket Fortune!  They’re supposed to be hot, but not that hot!  She’s worth billions!”

”mmmhmm.  Go on”

per this TMZ report, ringleader Singer told the parents their money was a donation to the athletic programs, not a payment to individual coaches.  And that the FBI asked him to lie about it:

https://www.tmz.com/2020/02/26/lori-loughlin-case-new-evidence-federal-prosecutors-rick-singer-lie-bribes/

Quote

The FBI told the ringleader in the college admissions scandal to lie and say his clients knew he was bribing college officials, and when he wouldn't play ball they yelled at him ... this according to Rick Singer himself.

It's a stunning, possible game-changing development in the case. One of the parents who's being prosecuted -- Elisabeth Kimmel -- filed legal docs Wednesday claiming the government just belatedly produced notes from Singer's iPhone.

Singer writes, "Loud and abrasive call with agents. They continue to ask me to tell a fib and not restate what I told my clients as to where there [sic] money was going -- to the program, not the coach and that it was a donation and they want it to be a payment."

In other words, Singer says he told his clients the money they were paying was a donation to the school, not a bribe to a coach.

Also worth noting that Janavs, the hot pocket queen, also did not initially plead guilty and was hit with the extra money laundering charges.

According to the article above, the government forced her to plead to all of it.  She got less than the max so far (five vs. six months) with a smaller "amount in controversy" of 300k than the max guy, McFarlane, who was in it for $450k.  Notably, Mcfarlane did not get hit with money laundering and was not a repeat offender doing it for multiple kids, while Janavs was.

Adding charges to an indictment doesn't necessarily mean the sentence will go up, especially if the charges are from the same "criminal episode."  If the additional charges have a higher maximum sentence, they could.  However, the mail and wire fraud and money laundering all have 20 year maximum sentences.

Also worth noting that UT tennis coach Michael Center got hit with six months for accepting a 100k bribe, which he turned over to the Athletic Department.

So far, Center and McFarlane are the leaders in the clubhouse with six months.

Aunt Becky and the dago are the biggest bribers in the scandal at 250k x 2 brats.

Who actually thinks that these parents really thought they were making donations to the school? If that's the case, go through the school, not a middleman. If that's the case, then why photoshop your kid's head onto a soccer/crew athlete?

And maybe Singer did "tell" them that it was a donation, with a wink, wink. 

They are guilty as hell. Fuck them.

The problem is that generally you have to plead not guilty to get much discovery from the government.

As we have seen with Loughlin, the government gets dickish when you plead not guilty.

The government is, as usual, not quite playing fair.

The government has been fucking poor people in court for years.  I don't pity the rich here.

Last I heard was that Center kept 60K of it for personal.

 

You're right, that's what came out at sentencing. I believe the initial thought was that he passed it all along.

Also, I hadn't been keeping up with other developments.  Hodge, of Pimco, is now the leader at nine months.  He attempted fuckery for five! kids and spent $850k.  He was a late pleader and pled to the money laundering as well as wire/mail/honest services fraud.

So, it looks like a solid bet that Aunt Becky and the dago could go down for 6-9 months if they changed their plea.  If they go to trial, it will be interesting to see what is the trial penalty.

I'd like to 69 aunt Becky.

The only thing about any of this that really surprises me is that you can create an empire from hot pockets

Same here.  I just assumed it was simply a product line created under the umbrella of a giant food conglomerate, not that a specific family or individual was responsible.  Does that mean there is also a Bagel Bites heiress?

“Lori and Moss, I met with USC today [and] I need a PDF of her transcript and test scores very soon while I create a coxswain portfolio for her,” Singer wrote. “It would probably help to get a picture with her on an ERG in workout clothes like a real athlete too.”

that's fantastic.
