     Lori Laughlin and daughters , Olivia Jade and Isabella Gianulli were caught in one of the biggest college admission scandals. Lori Laughlin along with her husband JFHF claimed to have donated 25 million dollars to William Rick Singer's non- profit organization "The Key Worldwide Foundation"; when the money actually went to Singer himself in order to guarantee entrance for Olivia and Isabella into elite colleges. After confronted by the IRS Singer confessed to his crime, claiming he wanted to help the privileged. His clients consisted of children of celebrities, CEO's, and other wealthy parents. In order to cheat the test scores, Singer would have physiologist mark the student's SAT or ACT as if they had learning disabilities in order to give the students extended time on the given tests. While taking the test, Singer would have proctors sit with each individual student to correct their scores. He also found ways to get students athletic scholarships by using fake pictures and previous scores.
