$1 million bond is insane. #freebecky

Not really any more insane that a $5000 bail for someone making minimum wage. Bail amounts have to viewed in the context of the person's ability to pay it, not the amount. Bail isn't a fine, it is something to make sure you show the **** up to court. Her ability and willingness to pay $500k for what amounted to a cover charge for her daughter to get in to college parties, makes it pretty clear that bail needed to be more than $500k to complete her to show.

I can't figure out if I'm supposed to be mad about this or not. I mostly just think it's hilarious that all these people got caught when they clearly thought they were outsmarting the system. But to an extent it seems like a victimless crime, and the fact that the FBI spent so much time and money investigating it is crazy to me.

Also, all this whining about how there shouldn't be an uneven playing field in favor of the wealthy is absurd. That's life. You have an advantage in every single aspect of life if you're wealthy. Don't like it, make more money.


While I agree with you that money gives you an advantage in every aspect of life, I disagree that this was a victimless crime. I'm assuming for every person that gets in because of these types of efforts someone got displaced or denied admission.

What's wrong about this is the people with money failed to take advantage of their, well, advantage and then had to resort to a high level of cheating.
Yes, those who weren't admitted are victims, but I still feel like this is a civil matter and not a criminal one. Or rather, it should be a civil matter. I'm curious to read the indictment to find out under what criminal statutes these people are being charged.

There was a significant amount of tax fraud involved given quite a bit of the payments made were to a fake charity and those payments were deducted when filing income taxes.

The fake charity bit and the claiming these bribes as tax deductions absolutely makes it a criminal offense.

Isn't fraud a crime?

Gotcha. I didn't realize that, haven't read a lot of the details yet.

Agreed. You'd think she would have been involved in a biker shootout at Twin Peaks with that size of a bond.

Kind of hard for me to muster up any sympathy for a bunch of grown men that like to put on costumes, play dress up and then go hang out with criminal organizations and then be shocked when said criminal organizations start shooting and the ones playing dress up get wrapped up in it all by the cops.

Agreed. That's the last time I remember a $1 million bond being handed out like candy. If I recall correctly, anyone and everyone was arrested and given a $1 million dolllar bond no matter what.

especially when her husband is a foreign gazillionaire. Probably wouldn't be hard for her to leave the country for good if she wanted.

I wonder what the plea negotiations look like right now.

Unfortunately, these sort of actions are prevalent within the industry and harm those who are all frantically playing by the rules.

I find it hard to understand how parents raise their kids to be rotten spoiled brats. There are videos of Laughlin's daughter saying how she was in college only for partying. She's a kid, but what about her 50+ year old parents?


You have to realize they're being raised by a woman who earned a good living mainly by being and staying pretty. Not a real strong correlation between that and the development of life skills.


Aunt Becky is a national treasure. Remember when Stephanie ran away from home after driving the car through the kitchen? Who was there for her? Becky. She's more than her good looks.

You know the people who are going to be the most upset? All the older ladies who watch the Hallmark channel. They fired her and are pulling all of her movies.

And you know who probably put her up to this? Uncle Jesse. Remember when they were trying to get the twins into that elite private preschool? Remember how Jesse lied on the application and tried to convince the school they were geniuses? Something is fishy here.

If Erkle ends up some sort of crook I am not sure my moral foundation could handle it.


Erkle's "did I do that" defense would hold up well in court.

His list is trash. If your childhood was watching full house and the Cosby show, you weren't even born when baretta went off the air.

I can't imagine someone smart enough to have that much money being stupid enough to pay $400k to get your kid admitted to a particular college.


Sadly, i've come to realize that having a lot of money =/= being smart. Otherwise I agree that is a really stupid way to spend money.
