Summary:
The largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice broke on March 12, 2019, sending shock waves through American schools and families. Korn and Levitz trace the wiretapped calls, covert payments, and blatant deceit that brought the feds to Beverly Hills mansions and Upper East Side apartments, their residents all linked by one man: college whisperer and ultimate hustler Rick Singer. Over decades, Singer exploited a system rigged against regular people. The scheme entangled more than fifty conspirators: CEOs, lawyers, real-estate developers, financiers, and actresses. Their book exposes the ugly underbelly of elite college admissions as a game with no rule book, opening loopholes and side doors into America's most exclusive institutions. -- adapted from jacket
