（加利福尼亚州 洛杉矶 玛丽蒙高中）
奥利维亚杰德所在
The guidance counselor at
高中的辅♥导♥顾问产生了怀疑
Olivia Jade's high school became suspicious
因为他不相信两姐妹参与过赛艇运动

据政♥府♥称 奥利维亚杰德和父母

讨论过如何避免

高中顾问老师干扰他们的录取计划

奥利维亚杰德问
Olivia Jade asked
她是否该把南加大列为她的首选学校
whether she should list USC as her top choice school
罗瑞回答说:“是的 但这可能会
and Lori replied, "Yes, but it might be
引来那个黄鼠狼多管闲事”
a flag for the weasel to meddle."
指的应该是那位顾问
Presumably referring to the counselor.
摩西莫补充道:“去他的”
And Mossimo added to that, "Fuck him,"
然后说他是个“爱管闲事的混♥蛋♥”
and said that he was a "nosy bastard."
奥利维亚杰德的顾问老师和一名南加大
Things began to unravel when Olivia Jade's counselor
招生官员通话后 事情开始被揭露出来
had a phone call with a USC admissions official.
作为顾问 我照常和南加大通话
Conducted routine counselor call with USC
检查今年几十位申请人的情况
to check up on the dozens of applicants that year.
说到奥利维亚时
When we got to Olivia,
南加大说她是 作为赛艇队成员被招募的
USC said she was flagged as a recruit for the crew team.
我告诉他们我并不知道 奥利维亚参与过赛艇
I told them I had no knowledge of Olivia's involvement in crew.
根据我对她发布视频博客日程的了解
Based on what I knew of her video blogging schedule,
我怀疑她是否参与过这项运动
I highly doubted she was involved in the sport.
不知怎地 摩西莫知道了
Somehow Mossimo found out
顾问对南加大说过的话
what the counselor had said to USC,
于是去学校找他对质
and went to the school to confront him.
我接到前台的电♥话♥
I received a call from the front desk
说杰努里先生在楼下 想和我谈话
that Mr. Giannulli was downstairs and wanted to talk to me.
我们在我办公室坐下后
When we sat down in my office,
他气势汹汹地问我
he aggressively asked
对南加大说了些什么关于他女儿的事
what I was telling USC about his daughters
以及我为什么要试图毁掉或是阻挠她们的机会
and why I was trying to ruin or get in the way of their opportunities.
他的语气让我十分紧张
His tone made me visibly nervous.
对质的消息传回了 南加大多纳海涅尔那里
Word of the confrontation got back to Donna Heinel at USC,
她给里奇辛格留了一条语♥音♥留言
and she left a voicemail for Rick Singer
警告他注意现在的处境
cautioning about the situation.
是的 嘿 里奇 听好 我就想确认一下
Yeah, hey, Rick, look, I just wanna make sure that,
我不希望…家长发脾气
you know, I don't want the… the parents getting angry
或是在学校搞出任何乱子 好吗？
or creating any type of disturbance at the school, okay?
我只希望保证那些学生
I just wanna make sure that those students,
如果在学校遭到质疑 能妥善回应
if questioned at the school, that they respond appropriately,
说他们是相应项目的临时队员
that they're walk-on candidates for their respective sports,
他们想要在队里试一试
that they're looking forward to trying out for the team
争取入学后进队
and making the team when they get here.
这是我想…确认好的
That's what I just… wanna make sure of.
我不希望任何人走进他们的高中
I don't want anybody walking into their high school
对顾问大吼大叫
and, you know, yelling at counselors.
这会把一切都搞砸
That'll shut everything down.
丑闻确实让我惊讶
The scandal did surprise me
因为它反映出的是一种 明目张胆的违法行为
because it reflected a kind of blatant illegality.
贿赂大学教练 让他们假装这些孩子是运动员
Bribing college coaches to pretend that their children were athletes
而他们其实并不是
when in fact they weren't.
为什么大学教练要冒如此大的职业和名誉风险
Why would a college coach jeopardize their job and their reputation
收取贿赂 让某些人入学？
to let somebody in for a bribe?
筹款是我工作的一大部分职责
Fundraising was certainly a big part of my job.
流向橄榄球和篮球项目的资金
Funding going to the football and basketball programs
非常多 相比之下
are pretty extreme compared to
像帆船这样的小众运动得到的就很少
what a smaller sport like sailing gets.
设立帆船项目并不能为学校赚钱
The school isn't making money by having a sailing program.
对学生来说很好 但项目的地位却岌岌可危
It's great they offer it for students, but that program is in the red.
钱必须靠捐款来补充
That money has to be either made up for in donations
不然学校就要写支票
or the school is just writing a check
为薪水 设备和旅行费用买♥♥单
for salaries, equipment, travel.
我的梦想就是只管当教练
My dream would be if my job was just to coach.
我很不擅长筹款
All told, I was horrible at fundraising.
这不是我喜欢做的事
It's not something I really like to do.
但必须去做
But it was done out of necessity.
生存总是很艰难
It was always a struggle to kind of survive.
2018年12月
In December 2018,
所有总教练都要和管理人员见面
all the head coaches are gonna meet with the senior staff.
那次会面很重要
It's a big deal, that meeting.
11年来 我见资深体育主管的次数
In 11 years, I'd met the senior athletic director
一只手都数得过来
maybe a handful of times.
我在体育主管的办公室 他们有六个人
I'm in the athletic director's office. There's, like, six of them there.
我们不到一个月前刚拿了全国冠军
We'd just won a national championship less than a month earlier,
体育主管甚至都没认可此事
and the athletic director hadn't even recognized it.
没有说祝贺 没有和团队接触
Didn't say congratulations, didn't reach out to the team, nothing.
在会上也没有表示祝贺
Didn't say congratulations during that meeting.
他当时只是在看电视
The only thing he was doing was watching TV.
他面对着墙上四五个屏幕
He was facing, you know, four or five screens on a wall
在看篮球
and was watching basketball.
他唯一一次抬头看我 开始问问题
The only time he looks up at me and starts really asking questions
是说到筹款的时候
is when it comes to fundraising.
“你筹款做得不错”
Like, "You're doing a great job of fundraising."
“继续保持 很有帮助”
"Keep that up. That's really helpful."
然后他继续看电视 那场会议就这样结束了
Then he goes back to the television. That's it for the whole meeting.
这个人认识里奇辛格
This is someone that knew Rick Singer.
是的 他告诉我他认识
Yes. Yeah, he told me he did.
里奇一直催我好好看看这个学生
Rick really was pushing me hard to really take a look at this student.
他知道我想找第二个助理教练
He was really interested and knew I wanted a second assistant coach,
我当时正努力为这个职位筹款
and I was struggling to fundraise for that position,
他说:“嘿 通过我的基金会
and he said, "Hey, through my foundation,
我可以给这个项目捐款十一万美元
I would like to donate $110,000 to the program
帮你筹到这个职位一到两年的资金”
to get you through a year or two of funding that position."
他说:“没有附加条件”
He's like, "No strings attached."
“我就是想维系我们的关系 继续向你推荐学生
"I just wanna continue our relationship and keep bringing people to you
让你审阅他们的材料”
and have you look at 'em."
我说:“很好 那太棒了”
I said, "Great. That's fantastic."
我觉得这让约翰深陷其中
I think this was a slippery slope for John,
他没有明确地意识到并表态
and he didn't knowingly wake up and say,
“你知道吗？今天我要加入这个诈骗阴谋”
"You know what? Today I'm going to join this racketeering conspiracy."
但政♥府♥只需证明你拿了钱
But all the government have to prove is "Did you accept the money
而作为交换 付钱的人会得到想要的东西
in exchange for something that the giver of the money wanted
且这些东西是他们不配得到的
and didn't duly earn, didn't deserve?"
斯坦福教练的案子最重要的因素是
The biggest factor in the Stanford coach's case
他没有中饱私囊
was he didn't personally enrich himself.
他得到的资金都用于 发展斯坦福的帆船项目
The proceeds that he received furthered the sailing program at Stanford.
里奇辛格很擅于利用他人
Rick Singer was skilled at leveraging off people.
他拥有利用他人的第六感
He had a sixth sense to exploit
可以找到合作者的弱点
and find vulnerabilities of people he was working with.
按我的理解 菲丽希缇霍夫曼的案子中
From my understanding, in the Felicity Huffman case,
他告诉菲丽希缇
he told Felicity,
“你女儿的分数不够上这所学校”
"Your daughter's scores aren't good enough to get into this school."
然而那是谎话
Turns out that was made up, false.
她女儿无论如何都可以被录取
The daughter would've gotten in regardless.
关键在于抓住痛点
It's identifying those pain points.
菲丽希缇开始思考
Felicity can begin to rationalize.
“我是个好母亲吗？
"Am I a good enough mother?
我是不是花太多时间拼事业了？”
Have I spent too much time on my career?"
“你不想让女儿上好学校吗？”
"Don't you want your daughter in a good school?"
利用弱点 痛点
Leveraging off the weakness, the pain point.
不 他的成绩不够上南加大
No, his grades are not good enough to get into SC.
-是吗？-哦 是的
- Is that right? -Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
真没想到
That's amazing.
哇 好吧
Wow. Okay.
如果不这么做 她有多大几率被录取？
What would her chances be without this process?
-几率为零 -她不会被录取？
- Zero. -She won't get in?
不会 她没机会的
Zero. She has no chance.
他擅长像一个优秀的营销人员一样
What he did well, like what a good marketer does,
