The Vancouver businessman, philanthropist and former CFL player was charged with conspiracy to commit fraud, accused of paying $200,000 to have someone take U.S. college entrance exams for his two sons in 2011 and 2012.
On Friday, Sidoo pleaded not guilty during an initial appearance in Boston district court before Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal. He was released on $1.5 million US secured bond and his travel has been restricted to the U.S. and Canada, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
His conditions allowed him to return to Vancouver but he will not be allowed to travel outside of the U.S. or Canada. He must also not speak to anyone else charged in the admissions scam. East West Petroleum Corp., a Vancouver-based oil and gas company, issued a statement Thursday, mentioning the “legal proceedings from the U.S. government.”
