00:00All of our friends are only talking about one thing and it's this story.
00:03An FBI investigation called Operation Varsity Blues.
00:07USC, UCLA.
00:09And Rick Singer.
00:11The mastermind behind the entire operation.
00:13Is there any risk that this thing blows up in my face?
00:19Hey Rick.
00:20Hey there.
00:20Is this a good time?
00:21Yeah, yeah, it's good for me.
00:22Rick, I had a question for you.
00:24It's just you and me. Is that kosher?
00:25Absolutely.
00:26I just wanted you to walk me through the whole thing again and how it works.
00:31We help the wealthiest families in the U.S. get their kids into school.
00:34So I've done 761 what I would call side doors.
00:38The front door means getting in on your own.
00:45So I've created this kind of side door in.
00:49Because my families...
00:54Want a guarantee.
01:00There aren't many federal cases where you have 50 people indicted for a crime.
01:06It truly is amazing what people will say on the phone when they don't know the feds are listening.
01:13If somebody were to catch this, what happens?
01:18The only way someone can catch it is if you guys tell someone.
01:21It seems like it would be hard to miss.
01:23There was a 5'5 men's basketball player.
01:26A high school cheerleader who was made to look like a lacrosse player.
01:29We've never had an issue with this.
01:31Like some article comes out that the polo team is selling seats into the school for 250 grand.
01:37Well no, because she's a water polo player.
01:41But she's not.
01:45We're here today to announce charges in the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice.
01:51My view of the admissions process is some students getting in on pure merit.
01:56But many others getting in due to preferences that skew rich and white.
02:00They had every advantage and yet they still cheated.
02:04In America, we love the wealthy and we hate the wealthy.
02:09They disgust us and they fascinate us.
02:14I'm going to do over 730 of these side doors this year.
02:18It's the home run of home runs.
02:21And it works?
02:23Every time.
02:26Every time.
