Setting aside the question of whether Lori and her husband are truly rich or not, you don't like that super rich people openly make donations to get their kids into school they don't deserve to be in so you're okay with other rich people cheating too? I honestly don't understand the logic behind your comment, shouldn't you be upset about both?
- LanceH 6y agoI don't agree with OP as the college is the victim here of some semi-embezzlement (admission slots being used for employee benefit). That said, I'm always a bit miffed by the enthusiasm for prosecuting the person bribing rather than the person accepting the bribe. It's not just in bribery. You see the same targeting of the interloper in cases of adultery. It's like everything was perfectly fine until contracts and vows were broken due to temptation alone. We should be cutting deals with everyone that offered a bribe and nailing people to the wall you accepted the bribes. They are the ones truly stealing. The others are buying stolen property (certainly also bad).
- creato 6y agoThe people that were bribed were prosecuted. At least one (from a quick googling) appears to have gotten a stiffer sentence (albeit not by much) than these two. It was probably evidence they provided that led to the convictions of the people doing the bribing.
