 General Background on Standardized Testing and the College Admissions Process
47.

Most selective colleges and universities in the United States require prospective

students to submit standardized test scores—typically, either the ACT or the SAT—as part of their
application packages. When submitted, standardized test scores are a material part of the
admissions process.
48.

The ACT includes sections on English, mathematics, reading, and science, and is

scored on a scale of 1 to 36
49.

The SAT includes sections on writing, critical reading, and mathematics. Between

2005 and January 2016, the SAT was scored on a scale of 600 to 2400. As of March 2016, the
SAT has been scored on a scale of 400 to 1600.
50.

The ACT and the SAT are typically administered to large groups of students on

specified dates and under strict time limits. In some instances, however, students with certain
learning or other disabilities may qualify for testing accommodations, including extended time,
and, in such circumstances, may take the test alone, under the supervision of a test administrator
retained by ACT, Inc. or the College Board.
51.

Compensated ACT and SAT administrators owe a duty of honest services to ACT,

Inc. and/or the College Board.
52.

Prior to administering the ACT, test administrators must typically certify that they

will administer the test in accordance with the ACT Administration Manual, and that they will
ensure that the “test materials are kept secure and confidential, used for this examinee only, and
returned to ACT immediately after testing.”
53.

Similarly, prior to administering the SAT, test administrators must typically certify

that they will administer the test in accordance with the SAT coordinator’s manual, that the SAT

6

 test is the property of the College Board, and that no one other than the student can “open the test
book and see the test content.”
54.

The ACT tests are typically sent to and from the testing sites via Federal Express,

a private, interstate commercial carrier.
55.

The SAT tests are typically sent to and from the testing sites via United Parcel

Service (“UPS”), a private, interstate commercial carrier.
56.

The ACT and SAT tests, and the scores students earn on those tests, are the

intellectual and physical property of ACT, Inc. and the College Board, respectively.
57.

Many selective colleges and universities in the United States, including all of the

Universities, recruit students with demonstrated athletic abilities, and typically apply different
criteria when evaluating applications from such students, with the expectation that recruited
athletes will be contributing members of the Universities’ athletic teams once enrolled. Typically,
the admissions offices at the Universities allot a set number of admission slots to each head coach
of a sport for that coach’s recruited athletes. At each of the Universities, the admissions prospects
of recruited athletes are higher—and in some cases substantially higher—than those of nonrecruited athletes with similar grades and standardized test scores.
58.

University athletic coaches and administrators owe a duty of honest services to the

universities where they are employed.
59.

At each of the Universities, admissions slots, the determination of which students

to admit, and the resulting composition of undergraduate classes are important assets of the
University.

7

 The Fraud Conspiracy
60.

From in or about 2011 through in or about February 2019, the defendants conspired

with others known and unknown to the Grand Jury to use bribery and other forms of fraud to
facilitate their children’s admission to selective colleges and universities in the District of
Massachusetts and elsewhere.
Objects and Purposes of the Fraud Conspiracy
61.

The principal objects and purposes of the fraud conspiracy were to commit mail

and wire fraud, and honest services mail and wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States
Code, Sections 1341, 1343 and 1346, by, among other things:
a. Cheating on college entrance exams, including in many instances by bribing
exam administrators to permit such cheating;
b. Bribing university athletic coaches and administrators to designate
applicants as purported athletic recruits, regardless of their athletic abilities
and, in some cases, even though they did not play the sport they were
purportedly recruited to play, in violation of the coaches’ and
administrators’ duties of honest services to their employers;
c. Having a third party take classes in place of the actual students, with the
understanding that grades earned in those classes would be submitted as part
of the students’ college applications; and
d. Submitting falsified applications for admission to universities in the District
of Massachusetts and elsewhere that, among other things, included the
fraudulently obtained exam scores and class grades, and often listed fake
awards and athletic activities.

8

 Manner and Means of the Fraud Conspiracy
62.

Among the manner and means by which the defendants and others known and

unknown to the Grand Jury carried out the fraud conspiracy were the following:
a. Seeking extended time for their children on college entrance exams,
including by having the children purport to have learning disabilities in
order to obtain the medical documentation that ACT, Inc. and the College
Board typically require before granting students extended time;
b. Changing the location of the exams to one of two test centers: the Houston
Test Center or the West Hollywood Test Center;
c. Bribing college entrance exam administrators at the Houston Test Center
and the West Hollywood Test Center to permit cheating, in violation of their
duty of honest services to ACT, Inc. and/or the College Board;
d. Paying Riddell or another third party to pose as an ACT or SAT exam
proctor, or as a student taking the exam, so that he could secretly provide
students with answers during the exam, replace the students’ exam
responses with his own, or take the exam in place of the students;
e. Submitting the fraudulently obtained ACT and SAT scores as part of the
college admissions process, including to colleges and universities in the
District of Massachusetts;
f. Bribing athletic coaches and university administrators to designate students
as purported athletic recruits or as members of other favored admissions
categories;

9

 g. Fabricating athletic “profiles” containing falsified athletic credentials—
including fake honors the students purportedly received, elite athletic teams
they purportedly played on, and staged photographs of the students
purportedly engaged in athletic activity—to submit in support of the
students’ college applications; and
h. Explaining to clients and prospective clients of The Key that these
fraudulent schemes were tried-and-true methods of improving exam scores
and gaining admission to college that had been successfully employed by
many other clients.
Acts in Furtherance of the Fraud Conspiracy
63.

On various dates from in or about 2011 through in or about February 2019, the

defendants and others known and unknown to the Grand Jury committed and caused to be
committed the following acts, among others, in furtherance of the fraud conspiracy:
DAVID SIDOO
64.

In or about the fall of 2011, SIDOO agreed with Singer to pay $100,000 to have

Riddell secretly take the SAT in place of SIDOO’s older son.
65.

In or about September 2011, SIDOO e-mailed Singer copies of his older son’s

driver’s license and student identification card for the purpose of creating a falsified identification
card for Riddell.
66.

Singer used the documents to obtain a falsified identification card bearing Riddell’s

likeness and the name of SIDOO’s older son.
67.

On or about December 2, 2011, Riddell flew from Tampa, Florida to Vancouver,

Canada to take the SAT in place of SIDOO’s older son.

10

 68.

In order to minimize suspicion and reduce the chance of getting caught, Singer

directed Riddell not to obtain too high a score, because SIDOO’s older son had previously taken
the exam himself and obtained a total score of 1460 out of a possible 2400.
69.

On or about December 3, 2011, Riddell used the falsified identification card to pose

as SIDOO’s older son in order to secretly take the SAT in his place. Riddell earned a total score
of 1670 out of a possible 2400.
70.

On or about December 23, 2011, Singer e-mailed a copy of the SAT score Riddell

secretly obtained to an administrator at Chapman University, a private university in Orange,
California, on behalf of SIDOO’s older son.
71.

SIDOO paid Singer $100,000, as agreed, for having Riddell take the SAT for

SIDOO’s older son.
72.

In or about 2012, SIDOO agreed to pay Singer to have Riddell secretly take a

Canadian high school graduation exam in place of SIDOO’s older son.
73.

On or about May 15, 2012, Singer purchased plane tickets for Riddell to fly from

Tampa to Vancouver on June 8, 2012, and to return to Tampa shortly thereafter.
74.

On or about June 9, 2012, Riddell posed as SIDOO’s older son in order to secretly

take the Canadian high school graduation exam in his place.
75.

In or about the fall of 2012, SIDOO agreed with Singer to pay $100,000 to have

Riddell secretly take the SAT in place of SIDOO’s younger son.
76.

On or about October 31, 2012, SIDOO emailed Singer a document listing his

younger son’s address and other biographical information for the purpose of creating a falsified
identification card for Riddell.

11

 77.

Singer used the information to obtain a falsified identification card bearing

Riddell’s likeness and the name of SIDOO’s younger son.
78.

On or about November 22, 2012, Singer purchased a plane ticket for Riddell to fly

from Tampa to Los Angeles, California on November 29, 2012, in order to take the SAT for
SIDOO’s younger son.
79.

Singer directed Riddell to obtain a high score because SIDOO’s younger son had

not previously taken the SAT.
80.

On or about December 1, 2012, Riddell used a falsified identification card to pose

as SIDOO’s younger son in order to secretly take the SAT in his place at a high school in Orange
County, California. Riddell earned a total score of 2280 out of a possible 2400.
81.

On or about January 21, 2013, SIDOO sent an e-mail to Singer asking for wire

transfer instructions.
82.

On or about January 22, 2013, an employee of The Key provided SIDOO with wire

instructions for a company bank account in California.
83.

On or about January 23, 2013, SIDOO wired $100,000 to the account, as agreed,

for having Riddell take the SAT for SIDOO’s younger son.
84.

In 2013 and 2014, the SAT scores Riddell secretly obtained on behalf of SIDOO’s

younger son were submitted as part of his applications to colleges and universities in the United
States, including on or about March 12, 2014 to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
85.

Singer paid Riddell approximately $5,000 plus travel expenses for each of the three

exams Riddell took in place of SIDOO’s children.
86.

On or about October 25, 2018, Singer called SIDOO from Boston, Massachusetts.

During the call, SIDOO noted that his older son was applying to business school, adding, “I

12

 thought you were gonna call me and say I got a 2100 on my GMAT”—a reference to a standardized
test that is widely used as part of the business school admissions process, which is scored on a
scale of 200 to 800. Singer responded, “They don’t have a 2100 for the GMAT. But I would do
my best to get it for ya.” SIDOO replied, “I know.”
GREGORY COLBURN and AMY COLBURN
87.

In or about the fall of 2017, GREGORY COLBURN and AMY COLBURN agreed

with Singer to pay $25,000 to have Riddell pose as a proctor for their son’s SAT exam and secretly
correct his answers.
88.

On or about October 10, 2017, AMY COLBURN e-mailed Singer that she was

waiting to hear back from the College Board about whether her son would be granted extended
time to take the SAT.
89.

On or about December 31, 2017, Singer e-mailed AMY COLBURN an admission

ticket for the COLBURNS’ son for an SAT exam with extended time to be administered on or
about March 10, 2018.
90.

On or about March 9, 2018, Riddell flew from Tampa to Los Angeles to purport to

proctor the SAT for the COLBURNS’ son and another student who took the test at the West
Hollywood Test Center that same day.
91.

Singer directed Riddell not to obtain too high a score on the COLBURNS’ son’s

SAT, so that the child would not be alerted to the cheating on his behalf.
92.

After the students had completed the exam, Riddell reviewed and corrected their

answers.
93.

Riddell earned a total score of 1190 out of a possible 1600 for the COLBURNS’

son.

13

 94.

On or about March 12, 2018, Dvorskiy sent the completed SAT exams, via UPS,

to the College Board in New Jersey.
95.

On or about March 14, 2018, Singer caused KWF to issue a payment of $20,000 to

Dvorskiy for facilitating Riddell’s cheating on behalf of the COLBURNS’ son and another student.
96.

On or about March 23, 2018, Singer caused KWF to issue a payment of $20,000 to

Riddell for correcting the SAT answers for the COLBURNS’ son and another student.
97.

In or about 2018, the SAT score Riddell secretly obtained on behalf of the

COLBURNS’ son was submitted as part of his applications to various colleges and universities.
GAMAL ABDELAZIZ
98.

Beginning in or about the summer of 2017, GAMAL ABDELAZIZ agreed with

Singer to pay an amount, ultimately totaling $300,000, for facilitating his daughter’s admission to
USC as a purported basketball recruit.
99.

On or about July 16, 2017, in an e-mail bearing the subject line “For Me to complete

USC athletic profile,” Singer asked ABDELAZIZ to send biographical information about his
daughter. The e-mail indicated that the profile would include falsified honors related to basketball.
100.

On or about July 27, 2017, Singer requested that ABDELAZIZ provide an action

photo of his daughter to be used in the athletic profile. ABDELAZIZ e-mailed the photo that same
day.
101.

On or about August 7, 2017, Janke e-mailed Singer a draft of the profile, which

falsely described ABDELAZIZ’s daughter as having received numerous athletic honors. In the
cover e-mail, Janke wrote: “Profile for [ABDELAZIZ’s daughter]. . . . Let me know if you want
me to add any other awards to her profile or if you think that is enough.” Singer forwarded Janke’s
e-mail and false profile to ABDELAZIZ.

14

 102.

On or about October 5, 2017, Heinel presented ABDELAZIZ’s daughter to the

USC subcommittee for athletic admissions, and—based on the falsified athletic credentials—
obtained the subcommittee’s approval to admit her to USC as a basketball recruit.
103.

On or about December 4, 2017, Heinel instructed Singer that a payment of

$200,000 for ABDELAZIZ’s daughter should be directed to the gift account for the Galen Center,
the arena for USC’s basketball and volleyball programs. Subsequently, Heinel and Singer agreed
that instead of directing this money to USC, Heinel would receive payments of $20,000 per month
personally in exchange for her assistance in securing the admission of ABDELAZIZ’s daughter,
and the children of other Singer clients, to USC as purported athletic recruits.
104.

On or about March 26, 2018, after USC mailed ABDELAZIZ’s daughter a formal

acceptance letter, ABDELAZIZ wired $300,000 to KWF.
105.

In or about July 2018, KWF began paying Heinel $20,000 per month in exchange

for facilitating the admission of ABDELAZIZ’s daughter, and the children of other Singer clients,
to USC as purported athletic recruits. The payments included at least one check that Singer mailed
from Massachusetts to Heinel in California on or about January 3, 2019.
106.

On or about January 3, 2019, Singer called ABDELAZIZ from Boston,

Massachusetts. During the call, Singer told ABDELAZIZ, in substance, that Heinel, when asked
why ADBELAZIZ’s daughter was not playing basketball for USC, had responded that she had
suffered an injury. ADBELAZIZ confirmed that he would provide the same cover story if
questioned.

15

 DIANE BLAKE and TODD BLAKE
107.

Beginning in or about 2017, DIANE BLAKE and TODD BLAKE agreed with

Singer to pay an amount, ultimately totaling $250,000, to facilitate their daughter’s admission to
USC as a purported volleyball recruit.
108.

On or about January 29, 2017, DIANE BLAKE e-mailed Singer, copying TODD

BLAKE, noting that their daughter was interested in attending USC but that DIANE BLAKE
assumed the school was “in the reach stretch category.” Singer responded: “There is a way to
garner a guarantee at USC if that is first choice but best to discuss without [your daughter] being
present.” DIANE BLAKE replied, copying TODD BLAKE: “Look forward to discussing.”
109.

On or about June 28, 2017, DIANE BLAKE e-mailed Singer, copying TODD

BLAKE: “We are fully committed to the USC plan.”
110.

On or about August 7, 2017, Janke e-mailed Singer a falsified volleyball profile for

the BLAKES’ daughter. Approximately one week later, Singer forwarded the profile to Heinel.
111.

Heinel presented the BLAKES’ daughter to the USC subcommittee for athletic

admissions as a purported volleyball recruit on or about September 7, 2017.
112.

On or about September 14, 2017, Heinel e-mailed Singer a letter, addressed to the

BLAKES’ daughter, notifying her of her conditional admission to USC as a student athlete. Singer
forwarded the letter to the BLAKES that same day. TODD BLAKE responded by thanking Singer
and stating that he would register his daughter with the NCAA Eligibility Center as instructed in
the letter.
113.

On or about September 16, 2017, Singer instructed TODD BLAKE to send a check

for $50,000 to “USC Women’s Athletics c/o Senior Women’s Administrator Donna Heinel.”
TODD BLAKE mailed a $50,000 check to USC Women’s Athletics that same day.

16

 114.

On or about February 5, 2018, TODD BLAKE wired $200,000 to one of the KWF

charitable accounts.
115.

In a call on or about February 22, 2019, Singer told DIANE BLAKE that USC had

received a subpoena for athletic records for the past 12 years. Singer said he wanted to let DIANE
BLAKE know about the subpoena “since [the BLAKES’ daughter] was accepted through
volleyball, but wasn’t really a volleyball player in reality at [the] USC level[.]” DIANE BLAKE
responded: “Yeah.”
I-HSIN “JOEY” CHEN
116.

In or about the spring of 2018, CHEN agreed with Singer to pay $75,000 to have

Riddell pose as a proctor for his son’s ACT exam and secretly correct his answers.
117.

On or about April 13, 2018, Riddell flew from Tampa, Florida to Los Angeles,

California.
118.

The following day, CHEN’s son took the ACT at the West Hollywood Test Center.

Riddell purported to proctor the exam and, after CHEN’s son had completed it, corrected his
answers.
119.

On or about April 16, 2018, CHEN wired $75,000 to a bank account in the name

of The Key. Singer caused The Key to provide CHEN with an invoice falsely indicating that the
payment was for consulting services.
120.

On or about April 17, 2018, Singer caused KWF to pay Dvorskiy $20,000 for

facilitating Riddell’s cheating on behalf of the CHEN’s son and another student.
121.

On or about April 18, 2018, Dvorskiy sent the completed exams, via Federal

Express, to ACT, Inc. in Iowa City.

17

 122.

On or about May 14, 2018, Singer caused KWF to pay Riddell $20,000 for

correcting the ACT answers or CHEN’s son and another student.
123.

In or about 2018, the ACT score Riddell secretly obtained on behalf of CHEN’s

son was submitted as part of his applications to various colleges and universities, including on or
about October 8, 2018 to Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts.
124.

On or about February 21, 2019, Singer called CHEN and asked: “[W]e both agree

that Mark took the test for [your son], right?” CHEN responded: “Yeah.”
MOSSIMO GIANNULLI and LORI LOUGHLIN
125.

In or about 2016 and 2017, GIANNULLI and LOUGHLIN agreed with Singer to

pay an amount, ultimately totaling $500,000, to facilitate the admission of their two daughters to

contributions. She could be on your team. She is a sailor. She may not be up to the level you are,
but she can con-- you know, you’re gonna get a benefit, and the family’s gonna get benefit.’”
249.

On or about October 15, 2018, Singer called WILSON to discuss various “side

door” options for WILSON’s daughters and noted that for any of those options, WILSON’s

payment over the next 6 months starting April 1st. You can send to my foundation as a
