William Rick Singer admitted that he helped bring down his own criminal enterprise by becoming “a cooperating witness” in the FBI probe and wearing a wire.
The author of “Getting In: Gaining Admission to the College of your Choice” was charged with racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy and obstruction of justice, according to a criminal complaint.
Heller said Singer has been in the college prep business since 1994, and"he's helped a lot of people pro-bono who got into college." Singer founded The Edge College & Career Network, LLC, also known as “The Key,” in 2007. He incorporated the “for-profit college counseling and preparation business” based in Sacramento with the state of California in 2012, according to court papers.
