Talwani also sentenced Caplan to one year of supervised release and ordered him to pay a $50,000 fine. ‘The real victims of this crime are the kids and parents who play by the rules in the college admissions process.” “This was not a victimless crime,” Caplan said.
Speaking quietly in a statement to Talwani, Caplan apologized to his family and his profession. “Not just any lawyer, the head of an international major law firm.”Ĭaplan was the co-chairman of Willkie, Farr and Gallagher and was named one of “The 2018 Dealmakers of the Year” by a law publication. “Caplan, unlike Huffman, was an attorney at the time he committed the crime,” Rosen said. Attorney Eric Rosen argued to Talwani that a comparison between Caplan and Huffman was untenable.
Huffman was sentenced to two weeks in prison for paying $15,000 to boost her daughter’s SAT score. “Caplan replied, ‘I am not going to tell anybody.’ Once again, the two men laughed,'” prosecutors wrote. “The only one who can catch it is if you guys tell somebody,” Singer said in one phone conversation. Prosecutors included in their sentencing memo excerpts from phone conversations between Singer and Caplan discussing the scandal, in which Caplan asked Singer what would happen if the scheme was uncovered. During the process, Caplan wired a total of $75,000 to Singer’s Key Worldwide Foundation bank account. Rick Singer is the real conman,” Levy said, referencing the scandal mastermind who pleaded guilty and is cooperating with prosecutors.Ĭaplan flew to Los Angeles with his daughter to have her take the ACT test at a co-conspirator’s testing center, and another man corrected his daughter’s ACT score. “That’s a cheap shot, That’s not true,” Levy said about prosecutors’ statement in the memo that Caplan “committed his crime from behind a facade of feigned integrity.” District Court that his client was not the conman prosecutors portrayed him as in a sentencing memorandum. Gordon Caplan pleaded guilty to a mail fraud charge in the “Operation Varsity Blues” investigation, and his attorney, Joshua Levy, tried to convince federal Judge Indira Talwani Thursday in U.S. A lawyer who paid $75,000 to have a corrupt proctor correct his daughter’s ACT answers will spend one month in prison, after his attorney tried to argue for the same 14-day sentence actress Felicity Huffman received in the college admissions scandal.
