Towards the end of the article there’s a list of those currently charged. Probably someone will get a copy of a libocrat donor list for comparison to these “special” folks.

"Bono's partner in socially responsible investment firm is charged in college fraud scandal"

After AOC's performance against the Wells Fargo CEO, perhaps she wants to haul Bono up before her committee to see if he feels responsible for his partner's fraud in this scandal...

The same Bono who opened a recording studio in Belfast, N. Ireland to show solidarity with those who suffered under the yoke of British oppression. A year later he quietly closed up shop and relocated to Brussels to take advantage of the tax breaks. Hey, being a smug self righteous human rights ambassador is all well and good, but when push comes to shove, gotta take care of business and look out for #1.

If the boy and his father are smart, the boy should withdraw from USC now, before he is expelled. He was not even in the same state the 2nd day of the testing. Feds have his phone records.

Bono sure has a tendency to back the wrong horse. Mandela while wronged was certainly a communist. Suu kyi from Miramar once a political prisoner. Since being released (huge U2/Care campaign to do do) and setting up political shop in Miramar she’s been accused of genocide of the Muslim population. And there is evidence to that fact. Now this clown that he has his money invested in. I guess it’s all “in the name of Love”

Virtue signaling is just part of his act. Everyone knows that.

You think Sam Kinison went around screaming everyone he dealt with?

Best part: Screaming to the world “My child is a loser, a commoner, just another peon like the corn-fed, tooth-flickin’ hicks in flyover country!!”

USC is not that difficult to get into

This guy could have simply been a good parent and made his son and daughter study a bit harder in high school. He certainly had the $ few hundred to give the kids some weekend SAT / ACT prep courses as well. But that would mean giving out some discipline and guidance.

There are many parents who are too busy, selfish, or lazy to be real parents. The ones with money use that to try and cover their mistakes.

“genocide of the muslim population”? Doesn’t sound bad to me.

Actually USC has become quite selective with 13 percent admisson rate.
