He'd paid $75,000 to rig his daughter’s ACT exam.
BOSTON — The former chairman of a global law firm was sentenced Thursday to one month in prison for paying $75,000 to rig his daughter’s ACT exam.
Caplan’s payment was on the upper end for parents who hired admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer to cheat on their children’s college entrance exams. Other parents paid as much as $400,000 to get their children into elite universities as fake athletic recruits. Court documents from prosecutors said Caplan displayed a “staggering disdain for the law” for a lawyer “who has reached the apex of his profession.” They drew attention to a July 2018 phone call in which Caplan discussed the deal with Singer and said he was “not worried about the moral issue.”
