Federal authorities tell a darker story (câu chuyện đen tối hơn) about William “Rick” Singer: that he orchestrated (điều hành) a brazen (trơ tráo, vô liêm sỉ) scheme to facilitate cheating (gian lận) on admission tests and bribery of college athletics coaches, all to help children of wealthy parents obtain admission to prestigious universities.

Court documents made public Tuesday indicate that Singer, 58, of Newport Beach, Calif., agreed to plead guilty to racketeering (kẻ làm tiền, kẻ tống tiền) conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy (âm mưu rửa tiền) and other charges in hopes that aiding government investigators would help him obtain a lenient (nhân hậu, khoan dung) sentence (kết án).

The complaint shows the web of deceit (lừa đảo) Singer wove, in some cases arranging for an impostor (kẻ giả mạo) to take tests for students and in others superimposing (ghép) the faces of applicants onto the photos of athletes.

In the transcript of one conversation, CW-1 tells a father that he can help his daughter get a certain SAT or ACT score if she obtains special testing accommodations for a learning disability. “I can guarantee her a score,” CW-1 says. “If it’s ACT, I can guarantee her a score in the, in the 30s. And if it’s the SAT, I can guarantee her a score in the 1400s.” The maximum possible scores are 36 for the ACT and 1600 for the SAT. The price for doing that, CW-1 indicated, was $75,000.

In another conversation, CW-1 assures another parent that his daughter can apply to a university as a potential water polo player even though she was unqualified in the sport. The price for one step in that arrangement was $50,000. The parents asks: “Okay, so there’s no chance I give that 50 and then she’s not admitted?” CW-1 replies: “You won’t send it until you get the letter.”
