Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
William Rick Singer identified a college admissions niche when he discovered that wealthy people would pay incredible sums of money to assure their children get into the right schools.
Singer found, through bribery and deception, a way to make millions by convincing key people within universities to accept his clients’ kids into their schools. Singer used fees he collected to fraudulently inflate test scores and bribe college officials to accept his students.
Eventually, a parent looking for leniency on other charges told the FBI, leading to a 65-year prison sentence for Singer.
Proverbs 17:8 says, “A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it; they think success will come at every turn.”
Bribes may bring temporary success, but its long-term consequences can be extremely harsh.
