The couple feel they were genuinely duped by William “Rick” Singer, the admitted mastermind of the scheme, into paying $500,000 to help get their daughters into USC, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.
The money that authorities say eventually made its way to college coaches involved in the scam was funneled through, whose stated mission was to help “underprivileged students.” This allowed some of the parents to write off the bribes as donations on their taxes, authorities said.
Shapiro said it is likely that Berkowitz “will try to find evidence that shows that Loughlin was not aware of the underlying conspiracy and extent of the alleged fraud being perpetrated by Singer.”
