Financial Titans and Influential Lawyers Charged in College Admissions Scam

Law firm Co-Chair Gordon Caplan, former PIMCO CEO Douglas Hodge, and the Managing Partner of TPG Growth, Bill McGlashan, were charged in a college admissions scam on Tuesday, along with at least 40 other individuals.

Gordon Caplan, Douglas Hodge, and Bill McGlashan have been charged on Tuesday — along with 40 others, including actresses — in a college admissions scam in which wealthy parents bribed coaches and other insiders at testing centers in an effort to get their children into some of the most elite schools in the country.

Willkie Farr & Gallagher co-Chair and Hillary Clinton donor, Gordon Caplan, allegedly paid $75,000 to college coaches to have someone else take an admissions exam for his daughter, according to the indictment.

The plan was to have a professional test taker take over for the Clinton donor’s daughter while she took an untimed exam, allowing the professional to obtain the appropriate scores necessary for getting into the college she desired.

The scheme failed once college insiders became cooperating witnesses for government officials.

The former CEO of Pacific Investment Management Co. (PIMCO), Douglas Hodge, allegedly “agreed to use bribery to facilitate the admission of two of his children to USC as purported athletic recruits” and sought to enlist the support of a cooperating witness to secure college admissions for a third child through bribery as well, according to the criminal complaint.

Bill McGlashan, the managing partner of TPG Growth and CEO of the social impact The Rise Fund — co-founded with U2’s Bono and Jeff Skoll — was also among the many individuals charged in the college admissions scam.

The Rise Fund’s purpose is to seek out and grow businesses that create impact aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. An example is Cellulant, a Kenyan company that provides digital payment tools. One of its products is Agrikore, a blockchain-based mobile platform to help distribute fertiliser subsidies directly to farmers and provide an easy way for them to sell their goods. Used by more than 7m farmers, these tools help them increase yields and reduce costs, raising household income and enabling spending on education, healthcare and other basic needs.
