The CEO behind the college admissions cheating scam wanted to help the wealthy. But that's not all

 

William Rick Singer and THE KEY.

 

Singer and his company The Key allegedly helped wealthy students score better on the ACTs or SATs by helping them cheat on the exams.

 

Singer is also accused of bribing college coaches and athletic officials to say a prospective student should be accepted because the student was a recruit for their sports team. But Singer and the coaches knew that the student was not a competitive player, and that his or her athletic profile was fake, an indictment said.

 

During his hearing at a Boston federal court on Tuesday, Singer pleaded guilty to four charges and admitted the allegations were true.

 

"All of these things, and many more things, I did," Singer said. "I created a side door that would guarantee families would get in."

Here's what we know about the disgraced CEO and the company behind the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice:

Singer tried to help 'the wealthiest families'

 

Singer was paid about $25 million by parents to help their children get into colleges, said Andrew Lelling, the US attorney for Massachusetts.

 

Prosecutors said Singer told one parent that he wanted to help the most privileged.

 

"OK, so, who we are … what we do is we help the wealthiest families in the US get their kids into school," Singer said, according to prosecutors.

 

Even The Key's website touts the exclusive nature of the company's clients.

 

"The Key's clientele is all referral based; consequently, the quality of the service provided to many of the world's most renown families and individuals has provided an incredible foundation for The Key to grow its offerings worldwide," the website says.

 

Singer, 58, is the "CEO and Master Coach of the world's largest private Life Coaching and College Counseling Company, The Key," the company's website says.

 

Over the past 20 years, Singer and his team helped more than 90,000 adults and also guided high school and college students seeking undergraduate or graduate degrees, The Key said.

 

THE KEY IS AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY.

This might be reaching but it’s kinda logical..

 

There are 90k ppl this dude has helped get into and through the most prestigious schools in the country.

 

How many huge names could this lead to? I tried to go to the website but it has been taken offline.

 

I’m going to dig more but more eyes on this would be helpful. The only way you can find this guy is if you get a referral meaning someone has to vouch for you.

 

Sounds a little ‘secret society’ esque to me..

 

Yeah the indictment names a few B list celebrities names but some digging might reveal more.

 

Since we all know this shit is about kids, wouldn’t it be badass that the good guys are going after (their) kids first?

 

Just a thought.

 

Like I said, I’m probably reaching here but who knows.

 

Does this guy look like anyone we’ve seen before? Some hereditary features are hard to manipulate.
