Boston – A California entrepreneur pleaded guilty Wednesday to paying $250,000 to get his son into to the University of Southern California as a fake volleyball recruit.

Jeffrey Bizzack, of Solana Beach, California, was the 51st person to be charged in a sweeping scheme that involved rigging test scores and bribing coaches to get students into elite schools including Georgetown, Stanford and Yale universities. Bizzack is the 23rd defendant to plead guilty, while the others are fighting their charges.

A SHAM CHARITY WAS INVOVLED

Authorities say Bizzack gave a total of $200,000 to a sham charity run by the admissions consultant at the center of the scheme and sent a $50,000 check to the USC “Galen Center,” a campus sports arena, to have his son designated as a recruit for the volleyball team. His son was formally accepted in March 2018.

The consultant, Rick Singer, then made monthly payments of $20,000 to USC’s then-senior associate athletic director, Donna Heinel, for her help getting Bizzack’s son and other children of prominent parents into the school.

Heinel has pleaded not guilty in the case. Singer pleaded guilty in March and helped build the case against parents and others accused in the scheme.

When asked by a federal judge about the prosecution’s account Wednesday, Bizzack said it was accurate to the best of his knowledge. Bizzack described himself as an entrepreneur who has worked in the tech and surfing industries.

I often wish Q would show is an image of the 4Am talking point email, just the text part. The media panic would be worth seeing.

Although this report is a bit dated (March) it shows corrruption in low level government that was found out.

"the SWAMP runs dee". yes it does, and if this is a bottom up operation, busts in other areasfocus more pressure to perform on (bigger?) operations like Baltimore. I am just theorizing on that.

We need to strip naturalized citizens of citizenship AND DEPORT them if they become criminals in trafficking and immgiration crime.

Four Orangeburg County deputies, two Springfield officers and three others are facing a variety of federal bribery and drug charges, the U.S. attorney for South Carolina announced Friday.

Some are accused of making fake crime reports to help people stay in the country illegally. Others are accused of taking bribes to protect drug dealers’ shipments.

"We will not tolerate the hypocrisy of those who pretend to enforce the law while violating it themselves all to line their pockets," U.S. Attorney Sherri Lydon (Our Girl?)said during a press conference Friday where she announced the charges.

• Springfield Police Department Chief Lacra Sharod Jenkins: conspiracy, visa fraud, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime.

• Springfield Police Department Officer Allan Hunter Jr.: conspiracy, visa fraud, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime.

• Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Carolyn Colter Franklin: conspiracy, visa fraud, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime.

Part 2

One of the alleged schemes involved fraudulent U Nonimmigrant Visas (“U-Visas”), which are set aside for victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse as a result of the crime. To obtain a U-Visa, a law enforcement official must certify that the alien is assisting that law enforcement agency in the investigation or prosecution of the crime of which the alien was a victim.

According to the indictment, four officers helped individuals obtain fraudulent U-Visas by taking bribes for fraudulent certifications and creating fraudulent incident reports indicating that aliens were victims of crimes.

The bribes included a laptop, Xbox and smart speakers.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office also alleges officers took bribes in exchange for protecting methamphetamine and cocaine or the proceeds of drug trafficking.

Hunter, Tucker, Timmons, Shazier, Jenkins and Franklin allegedly “accepted bribes for protecting tractor-trailers containing what they believed to be narcotics trafficking proceeds,” the indictment says. It also alleges that Hunter, Tucker, Shazier, Jenkins and Franklin agreed to protect tractor-trailers in the future containing kilogram quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine.

The defendants were indicted by a federal grand jury on March 19, but the indictments remained under seal until Thursday. They were arrested Friday.

According to the South Carolina U.S. Attorney's Office, Jenkins, Hunter, Franklin, Timmons, Shazier and Tucker could face a maximum penalty of life in federal prison if they’re convicted. Rogers, Saurabhkumar Patel and Tarang Patel face a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment if they’re convicted.

“With this indictment, we honor the hard work and dedication of the very fine officers across South Carolina who put on the police uniform every day and risk their lives to protect the rest of us,” Lydon said.

The investigation was led by the FBI, with assistance from ICE-Homeland Security Investigations and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys William Camden Lewis and Alyssa Leigh Richardson of the Columbia office. ((our folks!))
