OK, as I started reading this article I thought, "well, OK, maybe he really did think everything was above board" until I got to the amount. $176,000 for a "college admissions consultant"? Bullshit, if he didn't explicitly know there was shady stuff going on I can't believe there wasn't at least a "see no evil/hear no evil" wink wink.
But Jesus, what's up with all these super-rich people who either (a) have totally incompetent kids or who (b) believe they have totally incompetent kids to the tune that they need all these hundreds of thousands of dollars to get into college. I always considered myself to have a privileged upbringing with relatively-upper-middle class parents, but I had to pay for my SAT prep books out of my own part-time job money.
