She hasn't been sentenced yet - that's the sentence DOJ is asking for.

Cool - thanks. Sloppy reading on my part

What is the punishment for the universities that took the money?
Or the broker(s) that facilitated the transfer?

Your point still stands though - whatever sentence she receives is the "floor" - it will only go up from there.

There are more than 50 indictments of the various people involved. The main organizer (broker) faces 65 years and over $1M in fines. At least per this source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_college_admissions_bribery_scandal

ironically, wikipedia is not a reliable source, according to most universities.

It's not a meanginful primary source that can be cited - but that doesn't mean it's unreliable.

If I was the judge, I would have ordered her to pay the tuition for a student attending the school her daughter went to.

Yes, though its about halfway between what the DOJ recommended (1 month) and what she asked for (no jail) and the money is about the same as DOJ asked for so, I think its probably a fair sentence.

Will be interesting to see what happens to Aunt Becky and others that did not plead right away.

There's a problem with that line of thinking (and I believe part of the reason that her sentence was so light). Unless I'm mistaken, her daughter didn't end up going to the school.

I think she only paid someone to fix her daughter's SAT score. I'm pretty sure her daughter didn't go to school.

Ah, good point, I was thinking of another case where the parents were bribing to get admitted and scholarships for kids who didn't need or deserve it.
