Podcast appearances and mentions of william singer

Coming up on this week's episode, the story of Operation Varsity Blues. An FBI investigation into a criminal conspiracy to influence undergraduate admissions at American colleges. It is estimated that more than $25 million exchanged hands between thirty three parents – including actors Lori Laughlin and Felicity Huffman – and William Singer, a College Adminissions Coach.You have often heard me speak about risk being agnostic. That some of history's biggest monsters – Adolf Hitler, Che Guevara, Josef Stalin – they were all superb risk practitioners. But they used our discipline for the most evil of purposes. Operation Varsity Blues is a great example of the opportunity side of the risk coin, being used for malevolent intent. To gain privilege at the expense of others. On this week's episode of the Risktory Podcast, I look at how the wealthy and powerful used risk, to grasp what was not theirs to have.The Risktory Podcast is created, written, hosted and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.All rights reserved.Bibligraphyhttps://www.monstersandcritics.com/movies/rick-singer-update-where-is-he-now-and-what-was-the-key-on-operation-varsity-blues/https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/operation-varsity-blues-detailed-timeline-192801210.htmlhttps://themilsource.com/2020/05/24/who-is-william-singer/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_college_admissions_bribery_scandal

Operation Varsity Blues was the code name given to the investigation of parents that spent millions of dollars to increase their children's chances of getting into universities like the University of Southern California. Many of the parents who were charged entered guilty pleas, but the first two to stand trial were convicted earlier this month. Patricia Hurtado covers the courts for Bloomberg News. She has been following the Varsity Blues cases since the indictments were announced more than two years ago. She says the convicted parents may have a strong case at the appellate level. One of their arguments will likely be that they didn't receive a fair trial because the man who orchestrated the bribery ring, William Singer, never took the stand. Hurtado joins our weekly legal news podcast, On The Merits, to talk about the significance of the Varsity Blues case and the issues that are likely to come up on appeal.

Foredrag av kunsthistorikar Renate Rivedal. Singerparet var eit rikt amerikansk ektepar utan pengesorger. Dei busette seg i ein kunstnarkoloni i Laren i Nederland, men etter reiser til Noreg falt dei pladask for den norske naturen og særskilt Olden i Nordfjord. Frå 1913 budde dei fast her i lange somrar fram til dei døde. Og frå 1921 haldt dei hus i Villa Dalheim, ein stor eigedom der alle husa var malt i den same turkisgrøne fargen som Oldenelva når blåbreen smeltar. Singerparet hadde ein stor hushaldning med tenarar, og kunstnarvener som budde hos dei. I tillegg til å vere kunstsamlarar, var William sjølv kunstnar og bygde sitt eige atelier på eigedomen. Hovedhuset var fylt med kunst og antikviteter, frå klassiske maleri, kinesiske Buddhaer, persiske tepper, 1500- og 1600-talls møblar, kinesisk proselen og ekte Tiffany-lamper. Opptaket ble gjort 28. januar 2020 på Bergen Off. Bibliotek.

Following a brief tribute to the legendary surf rock guitarist Dick Dale and some other opening comments, two-time Emmy-award winning producer and journalist JP Sottile of Newsvandal returns to discuss the Mueller Probe, the college admissions scandal, the Democrats' freshman congresswomen, rising Islamophobia in culture, and the Christchurch terror attack. The conversation begins with JP and I discussing a recent poll showing the Americans may be turning on the Mueller Probe. JP gives his take on the Mueller Probe and cautions against saying anything definitive about the report until we can see it. Additionally, we discuss how disastrous the Mueller Probe could end up being for the Democrats in the 2020 elections, Glenn Greenwald's infamous criticisms of Russiagate, if it does not deliver the goods on Russian collusion. We then segue into the topic of what could be called "The New Gilded Age" in which wealth inequality and the rigging of the system for the mega-rich continues to grow. In particular, JP and I cover the college admissions scandal that has ensnared celebrities like Felicity Huffman and Full House's Lori Loughlin. We discuss how this case is emblematic of the "rich people gone wild" age that we live in. JP details the main player in the case, William Singer aka "Rick". We delve into how Singer's college admissions scheme ties into branding culture and creating a side-door to get wealthy parents into prestigious colleges. We also relate how the college admissions scandal is only one of many scandals and discuss the Trump family fortune's equally sketchy background. From there we delve into the Christchurch Mosque shooting, which JP recently wrote about. We go over how the rhetoric behind the neoconservative's "War on Terror" has influenced Islamophobic sentiments. Then we delve into JP's thoughts on the shooting and what it says about the alt right's mindset and philosophy.

Boeing's back to back 737 MAX 8 crashes have become a nightmare. First there was the Lion Air crash last October that killed 189, then just this week another crash in Ethiopia killed 157.  Various countries and airlines have grounded the 737 MAX planes and there are growing calls for the FAA and the US to do the same.  While we won't know what caused the crash in Ethiopia for months, Boeing is already making adjustments after the Lion Air crash by issuing a software update. Andrew Freedman, science editor at Axios, joins us to break down everything we know about these two crashes, Next, Operation Varsity Blues. Federal prosecutors have charged dozens of wealthy parents including two Hollywood actresses with bribing college coaches and SAT testing administrators to get students admitted to elite colleges under false pretenses.  The man behind it all is William Singer who owned Edge College & Career Network.  In all 50 people are charged with over 30 parents funneling at least $25 million to Singer. My producer Miranda joins us for all the details and how the scheme worked, including details on actress Lori Loughlin's daughter, Olivia Jade, who was admitted to USC under this scheme and is already making money off the whole thing.
