College admission scandal

Some wealthy and powerful New Yorkers are ensnared in the college admissions scandal. Gordon Kaplan, the New York-based co-chair of global law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher, has been placed on leave after he was indicted on bank and wire fraud conspiracy charges. He and Manhattan resident Gregory Abbott, the CEO of a food and beverage packing company, allegedly paid California-based admissions consultant Rick Singer tens of thousands of dollars to rig their children's SAT results.
