She deserves everything they can throw at her. She is a complete moron. Either that or she still thinks her money is going to insulate her from real consequences of charges. I wouldn’t play that game with the Feds myself.

I would seriously love to be a fly on her attorneys wall. Surely they told her the plea deal was the best she would get? They had to tell her jail time was going to happen, right? I bet they are already tired of dealing with her. You would think that. And they would have a legal team. Maybe her lawyers mis advised her I hope the judge makes an example of them.

When I read FH statement owning up to her wrong doings I gained some respect for her...LL deserves whatever she gets.

Lori Loughlin didn’t do herself any favors treating it like a photo call either. Autographs and smiling for the cameras like it was the red carpet, WTF?

I wonder if Target will stop carrying the Mossimo brand. That is the company that Lori’s husband owns. Imagine what a financial disaster that would be. Mossimo (the person) sold the Mossimo brand years ago. He isn’t involved with the clothing being in Target stores at all. I read an article recently that the clothing wasn’t selling well like it once did so Target was going to be phasing the line out. The was decided before the scandal hit. I have no idea what Lori’s husband does for an income now, but I am sure whatever it is will end up affected by all this. Also, I’m disappointed that they didn’t accept the plea deal and admit full guilt and serve their time. It isn’t like Lori has any movie or tv deals that would be disrupted by her absence now that she has been fired by all the programs she was involved in. Be a big girl and accept your punishment. Show your daughters the right thing now since you failed to do that before. Out of curiosity, I followed a link in one of the stories on this situation to Olivia Jade’s videos. She comes across so entitled and vapid. And her Instagram was so typical. Nothing but picture after picture of her in various poses and making the faces that everyone else seems to be doing now. She seems quite content to try to get through life on her looks alone. And unfortunately, there are numerous little girls (I assume they are little girls. There is no content to hold an adult’s attention) that are subscribed to her sites, undoubtedly reinforcing that. I am happy to read that multiple makeup lines have dropped her as a result of this.

Why aren’t the kids being charged? There’s no way they were ignorant of what was happening. Maybe the ones who had test scores changed or faked may not have known but there’s no way the Loughlin girls didn’t know they don’t row crew. This article outlines which kids were actively involved, which were likely ignorant to the fraud and a few that it isn't really clear if the kids knew anything. I'm not sure why at least some aren't being charged and wonder if it is related to the fact that they aren't the ones entering into the agreements and making payments to Singer. I'm quoting myself because it includes an article that identifies which kids were actively involved and which that were likely involved (including LL's girls). @missjen, it looks like any that were 18 at the time have been sent target letters letting them know they are being investigated and could face charges. Charges could come for adult children in admissions scandal

Suggested sentences are happening now............... Look out LL. Federal prosecutors will seek a sentence of between four and 10 months for actress Felicity Huffman in connection with charges of conspiracy to commit fraud in a wide-ranging college admissions scandal, according to CNN. ** Huffman has publicly apologized for her part in the scheme, but CNN, citing a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation, reported that her apology was not a factor in prosecutors’ decision to seek a months-long sentence for the actress. A plea agreement will also reportedly involve a $20,000 fine and 12 months of supervised release for Huffman, according to CNN. ** thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/439189-prosecutors-plan-to-seek-months-long-jail-term-for-felicity

I live in Los Angeles and have for 15+ years. Those kids will be fine. Memories are short and money is everything. That is reality. We will have to agree to disagree on all those kids being fine. Some will be without a doubt, others are going to have a hard time. My empathy goes to any kid struggling with anxiety and selfworth that has been caught up in this scandal. Their reality can't be fixed with money. How many children of millionaires or billionaires do you know? This issue is not what will cause them anxiety or what people in their social circles will hold against them. I live in this world. Very rich people cheat the system all the time and this is their normal. Not being able to cheat the system will create more anxiety than having been caught cheating the system. To the average citizen this is shocking. To me it is not. This is normal to a certain set of people.

By pleading not guilty, they will be able to negotiate with the prosecutor for a lesser charge that they can plead guilty to that is hopefully not a felony and won’t carry jail time. That is smart and what people who have money to hire attorneys for negotiations can do. In the grand scheme, this will end up being a slap on the wrist for them and something their social circles will ignore soon enough. That is the reality of the world of wealthy people.

Kids struggling with anxiety and self worth are devastated to be publicly humiliated by their parents in this scandal. Many children of the rich and famous, or just rich, struggle to find their place in the world.

Plea negotiations are an ongoing process. She didn’t turn down her one chance. Negotiations will absolutely continue between defense and prosecutors and she likely won’t get more than a slap on the wrist. Unless someone decides to make an example out of her.

Then shame on Hoffman and the others who pleaded guilty, particularly if she gets the recommended jail time..

I've read LL and her husband moved money from an offshore to a nonprofit for this transaction and that's the money laundering charge. If you can believe the news article I read. Every news outlet is in such a rush to get out the news that I think most take liberties with the facts.
If FH gets a little time, I'm sure they'll make her have time as well. the guilty coaches and administrators are readily pleading guilty so as not to incur financial ruin. These parents have the means to try to wear down the prosecutors, but we will see what happens. This has national interest so I would think the prosecutors know it's being watched across the country. If they get a soft pass, people will think the prosecutors are being paid off too.
It will be interesting how this all is settled

Giannulli and former Hallmark starlet Loughlin are accused of paying two $500,000 bribes to William "Rick" Singer to get daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella into USC as crew team recruits, despite neither girl being a rower. They each face up to 40 years in prison after they rejected a plea bargain and were slapped with additional charges of money laundering and conspiracy. www.foxnews.com/entertainment/lori-loughlin-husband-mossimo-giannulli-never-enrolled-usc-olivia-jadeWho knows what is really right though.

I don’t know. Martha Stewart did her time, and she was a bigger name/brand than LL.
LL and her husband might get off with a hand slap, or may end up in a federal prison after all. That’s where they belong...

I just read an article that quotes a source who states that Laurie Laughlin feels like a victim.
Am I the only one who has completely lost sympathy for her and her husband? Between signing autographs, smiling for the cameras, pleading non-guilty, and now this, I hope they throw the book at her. I understand this is a white collar crime, but she broke the law and I hope she serves some serious jail time. Her arrogance by pleading non-guilty does not paint her in the best light.

I haven't had any sympathy for her since this started. The amount of arrogance and lack of reality is astonishing. I saw footage of her signing autographs outside the court house. Who does that?!?

What has happened to the children? Will they be able to apply/attend other universities? I wonder too. I'm sure some are decent people, even if some suffer from affluenza. Others likely deserve a share of the guilt. I hope the "influencer" who loves a good party starts to examine her life and values. I'll be sad for our world if she uses for a career boost like the K who built an empire off a sex tape. LL looked like she was sedated when she left the courthouse, there was something weird about her smile.

There always have been, and still are two systems of justice in America - one for the wealthy who can afford to buy down consequences w/lawyers, and one for everyone else. I can't believe we still have so many people who don't recognize that. (Not you, just tons of others).

Maybe Loughlin's daughters could go there. I find it difficult to muster much sympathy for young adults getting kicked out of a college that was basically a social event for them.

Consequences are for little people. And the poors. “Lori feels like so much damage has been done publicly that the only way for her to counter it is to fight this case in court,” the insider said. “She feels like once all the evidence is presented, that people will understand how things happened.” Dear Lori, You are going to have a hard time getting people to understand WHY it was okay to pay the equivalent of 9.56 yrs of tuition (500k/52,283 USC yr tuition), without actually paying a penny in tuition to the institution, and your daughters getting onto the rowing team, OF USC, despite never participating in the sport. Your lawyers are throwing anything to the wall that sticks. You MIGHT get off on a legal technicality, but what you and other parents did IS disgusting and illegal. Good luck with that, because IT IS your actions that have ruined your reputation. I don't watch any of your shows, but I did like your husband's brand. I hope it shrivels up and withers away.

I actually feel a small amount of respect for Felicity Huffman for pleading guilty compared to Lori Laughlin.
