FEDERAL COURT,
Sept 13 – In the first of the
Varsity Blues college
admissions bribery cases to
come to trial, on September 13
in the U.S. District Court for
the District of Massachusetts
Bruce Isackson, who pled
guilty, was questioned. Inner
City Press live tweeted, here:
Isackson
says he paid Rick Singer
$250,000 for his daughter
Audrew to get into USC as a
crew (rowing) recruit. All
that was required was a head
shot.
Now shown in
court: Dec 15, 2017 email from
Rick Singer to Audrey
Isackson, Bruce and Davina,
and "Steve Masera at
thekeyworldwide.com , "please
keep this hush hush til late
March."
Bruce Isackson
says Singer promised him a
"controlled environment" for
testing for Audrey. All he had
to show was that she needed
more time to process
questions.
AUSA: What would
happen there? Isackson: The
proctor would change the
score.
Bruce Isackson:
Audrey said she thought she'd
done well on her own. Then
Rick said, excuse me, She did
sh*t.
AUSA: What
score did she get on the ACT?
Bruce Isackson: A
31. We paid $100,000 to the
Key Worldwide Foundation, then
to Rick and the proctor.
AUSA: Did you
take a tax write off?
Isackson: Yes.
AUSA: Did you do
it again for your son?
Isackson: Yes.
We'd use the same process with
Rick.
AUSA: So your son
Ryan was going to get into USC
as a soccer player. Did he
play soccer?
Isackson: Yes.
AUSA: Did he play
at a level to be recruited to
USC?
Isackson. No. Not
even close.
AUSA: Did Rick
Singer claim to be a part
owner of the Sacramento Kings?
Isackson: He did.
AUSA: Did you
believe him?
Isackson: No....
The case is
US v. GAMAL ABDELAZIZ et
al., 19-10080-NMG (MAD)
