An FBI agent laid out exactly what happened. Here's a summary:
1. This college bribery scam started in 2001 and has NOT YET ENDED.
It is described as "continuing through the present."
2. The fraud involved 3 parts:
- bribing SAT/ACT test administrators to facilitate cheating on those exams;
- bribing varsity coaches & administrators at top universities to get students deemed as "recruited" athletes;
- masking the bribes as tax-deductible charity donations

An economic shock, like the sudden loss of a paycheck, usually has very long-term negative effects. It’s not just a blip.
Even if people get their back pay, or land another job, this #TrumpShutdown will burn folks in many ways for months or years after it’s officially over. /2
