Elisabeth Kimmel, the wealthy former media executive charged with paying bribes to get her children into USC and Georgetown, appeared in federal court, where she was ordered to give up her passport as part of a $500,000 no-cash deposit bond package.

Kimmel, whose family owned San Diego television and radio stations KFMB until she sold them them in 2017 for $325 million, appeared in court with her husband, Gregory. He’s a former San Diego County deputy district attorney who is not charged in the case.

Kimmel said only one word — a soft “yes” — when Stormes asked her if she agreed to appear in court in Boston for the case. She is due to appear there on March 29. Conover also requested that Kimmel, who lives part time in Las Vegas, also give up her passport and be allowed to travel only in the U.S. Her lawyer, Gregory Vega, did not object to either condition, but asked for 48 hours to retrieve her passport from Las Vegas so it could be turned over.Singer’s scheme involved what he calledand was actually a bribe scheme.

Wrist slap.

I predict it will be pleaded down to 6 months probation.

It clearly appears that that 'WHITE PRIVILEGE' thing (their membership card) has been SEVERELY overplayed in this college admissions SCANDAL and NOW there WILL BE HELL TO PAY!!! And boy, will THEY BE FORCED TO PAY UP BIG TIME!!!
