"The Justice Department on Tuesday charged more than 30 wealthy people — including two television stars — with being part of a long-running scheme to bribe and cheat to get their kids into big-name colleges and universities."
- save_ferris 8y agoI think OP means that weren't wealthy enough to make a large public donation through the appropriate channels and instead resorted to bribery. Their legal bills could easily surpass the amount of money exchanged to get their kids into these schools.
- mcguire 8y agoThe numbers $15,000 and $50,000 were mentioned in the article.
- dexterdog 8y agoThat's the kind of money poor people who think they're rich donate to schools.
- Thorrez 8y agoAre you saying that's a high number or a low number? Because if you're saying it's high, you picked the wrong examples, here's a different example from the article: >The student’s parents paid $1.2 million in bribes, officials said.
- mcguire 8y agoLow. Certainly not enough to be in the "donate a building" range. In fact, I doubt $1.2million is in that range.
