Things are going from bad to worse for actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli. In February, I advocated the couple take a plea deal from the government in the U.S. college admissions scandal, where they were caught issuing a $500,000 bribe to get their daughters into the University of Southern California (USC).

For their refusal to take the plea deal, the government recently upped the charges against the couple to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud, conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Previously, the couple were facing a potential 5-years in prison if convicted of the charges. They Daily Mail UK is reporting the couple are now potentially facing 60-years in prison. Fellow actress Felicity Huffman took the plea deal in the scandal and only served 11-days in jail. Loughlin and Giannuli should have done the same. They will lose millions in legal fees and lost work in fighting the government on this case, where the couple is clearly in the wrong. They aren't up on murder charges. It's only a few days in jail. They should just serve the short sentence and put the whole episode behind them.

The problems arose when Giannulli wanted his daughters to attend the prestigious University of Southern California and decided to buy their way into the school. He similarly did not get into the college of his choice when he was young. He blew off college and used the school money his dad gave him to start a business. Based on items in the press, he believed his daughters could fake their way through the University of Southern California, as he has faked his way through other things in life. 

The described behavior in the case is outright fraud, as the couple had one of their daughters, Olivia Jade, pretend to be an expert rower, with staged photographs accompanying her fraudulent application to the school. Olivia Jade had never rowed a day in her life and her admission deprived an actual athlete with good grades, of the spot at the university, where said individual could have become a doctor or lawyer.

Olivia Jade did not apply herself in high school, opting to party. Fellow students stated she was rarely in class. She did not have good grades or high SAT scores. In listening to her speak, she is into superficial things, which is not a crime, but to be at a top U.S. school under false pretenses without the required intelligence, meant it could lead to disaster down the road, impacting others. In unethical acts, her parents decided to buy her a spot at a top national university, which she does not exhibit the intellect to be enrolled in.

I do not advocate people being given university spots or jobs they did not earn and are unqualified to hold. It sets a dangerous precedent and pattern in society, which can open the floodgates, hindering human development and achievement on a global scale. It can result in unqualified people becoming doctors, scientists, lawyers, judges and teachers, among other things, then dangerously and negatively impacting society, because their intelligence level does not match the rigors of their post.

Can you imagine being operated on by a doctor, without the required intelligence such a post would warrant, all because his rich family bought his way into and through university, paying people to do his homework, then bought his medical license. Innocent, trusting patients could end up seriously injured or dead in preventable incidents.

In a somewhat similar case, I read about fake, unqualified doctor, Carlos Hernandez Fernandez, who had questions surrounding his alleged university degree. Turns out he was licensed as a surgical assistant, not a trained doctor, which is a big difference. He ended up in criminal trouble (under arrest), because he sexually assaulted people and performed facelifts and tummy tucks at his plastic surgery office in Colorado, without administering anesthesia on some of the patients.

One woman who came forward described being in excruciating pain. She is now scarred for life. He cut her like she was a piece of meat. It wasn't the clean, neat, precise, proper and minimal incision trained surgeons would utilize, which would reduce scarring and potential hemorrhaging. It was jagged, crisscrossed and ugly. There was no way that was going to heal well. Yet, not thinking ahead, he decided to do it anyway.

There is a reason (prospective and potential) doctors have to be of a certain intelligence level (as illustrated by high test scores) to be admitted to university and then medical school, where they must have the mental capacity to receive, understand and absorb the proper training (and for years of schooling). There are jobs in this world that are complicated and necessitate high intelligence levels. If unqualified and unlearned people obtain those positions, it will result in disasters and human suffering.

Can you imagine a world leader being questionably admitted to an Ivy League school that is extremely above his low mental capacity, then using his rich dad's connections again and said degree he could not have earned as he is unintelligent, to become president. I mean, he could go on to start an illegal, deceitful war that kills thousands of soldiers and millions of civilians, all over something he knew to be a lie, but not thinking ahead, decided to do it anyway (College Admission Scandal See Hollywood Actresses Felicity Huffman And Lori Loughlin Facing Prison).

Side Bar: I see this crazy misconduct in Hollywood all the time. They fake just about everything. They routinely take credit for things they did not do or earn (intellectual property theft). They buy their way into places they do not belong via stolen wealth, as they did not do the hard work to earn it. They see other people doing things of note and determine if that person can do it, so can they because they are famous, but attempt to do so without the actual hard work, intellect and schooling required.

They play roles on television or in movies, then walk off the set when it wraps thinking and acting like they have the abilities of the fictional characters they played (doctors, scientists, lawyers, judges, superheroes). It's mental illness.

There are nutty Hollywood stars, who have dispensed medical advice to people in real life, because had a role where they played a doctor, nurse or scientist. These stars are coddled and given special treatment on a regular basis, then start to think they can have whatever they want (even if it doesn't belong to them) and do anything they feel like (without the required hard work and training). The insanity needs to stop.

You see it in the insane conduct of Hollywood stars like Madonna, who went and spoke at a university once, but put out crazy press releases calling herself a professor, when she has no degree or tenure. You see it in the madness of ignorant rapper and former violent drug dealer, Jay Z, who stated Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are his peers, when those are educated men, who were accepted to top Ivy League schools. Jay Z doesn't even have a high school diploma and stole everything he has via criminal copyright infringement, copyright infringement, fraud, defrauding people out of their property, not paying people for their labor and committing massive SEC violations. Once again, the insanity needs to stop.
